THIS WEEK:

From the Sermon: Psalm 33

Preacher: Pastor Jon Needham
Scripture: Psalm 33

This Sunday, we began our first week of the Summer Psalm series. Psalms are a guide intended to help us navigate everything our souls have and will experience in this world. In Psalm 33, we saw God’s power in creation, God’s rule over history, God’s knowledge of us, and God’s salvation.   

Family Discussion Questions:

  1. What’s something that surprised or confused you about this Bible passage? (Look back at your Sermon Notes for help remembering! 
  2. How are Psalms different than other books of the Bible?
  3. What does God’s sovereignty look like in creation, history, and our own lives?
  4. What are some things that cause you to “shout for joy?”
  5. What are some ways we can remind ourselves of how much God loves us?
Parent Tip:
· Read the sermon summary together as a family. Build this into your normal routine, perhaps reading together around the table during a meal.
· There are five questions, each with a different theme. You can choose one night a week to go over all five, do a couple questions a few times a week, or discuss one question per day.
· Each question is meant to be a conversation starter. Model for your children how to answer these questions by sharing your own personal insights.  
· Even if your conversations don’t go as planned, don’t be discouraged. ALL time spent talking about and reading God’s word is valuable!
· The more consistent you are in having these discussions, the more fruitful they will be. As this becomes part of your weekly rhythm, your kids will anticipate the questions and listen more attentively at church.

Other Scriptures:

Parent Tip:
Use these additional scriptures as daily reading. These are also a great way to help your children learn to locate passages in the Bible.

Attribute of God:

TEACHER: All wisdom comes from God. He is our great Teacher who gives us all the knowledge we need in his perfect Word.

Parent Tip:
We focus on a new attribute of God each week to discuss as a family. Use this time to discuss who God is, answer questions the kids might have, and talk about what that week’s attribute means to each person in your family.

Prayer Focus:

COMMUNITY: Pray for the unbelievers in your community.

Parent Tip:
Each week of the month has its own prayer theme: Church, Family, Community and Repentance. Use these themes to show your children how to pray. It can be helpful to add this to an already existing routine like at bedtime or when you’re in the car together.

THIS MONTH:

There is a Fountain Filled with Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains (3x)
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away (3x)
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more (3x)
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more

Ever since by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die (3x)
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die

When this poor lisping stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing Thy power to save (3x)
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing Thy power to save

Parent Tip:
Each month we highlight a different song for you to sing together. Singing is an integral part of worship! Singing as a family helps teach the kids how to worship at church, and as they learn more songs, they will be able to participate more on Sunday mornings. You can practice your songs in the car, at the dinner table, when you wake up, or at bedtime! You can also check out our playlist on Spotify and sing along with your favorite worship songs.

Memory Verse:

John 1:12-13
“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”

Parent Tip:
This is the same memory verse that the whole church is learning and it rotates monthly. Practice reciting it as a family each day at least once. Dinner time is a great opportunity to practice together.

New City Catechism:

Question 5: What else did God create?
Answer:
God created all things and all his creation was very good.

Parent Tip:
We are making our way through the New City Catechism with a new question every month. You can practice catechism questions anytime throughout the day! For the complete list of questions, answers and songs, download the free app “New City Catechism” on your device.
