Father's Day is coming and we thought we'd pull out our "toolbox" of ideas you can use to demonstrate the many roles fathers play in the family. You could use this as a sermon illustration or object lesson for the Father's Day weekend. We wish all our fathers out there a very blessed and fulfilling Father's Day!
We don't always get what we want in life. We sometimes wish we were taller, smarter, more beautiful, healthier, richer, or thinner. Things might not go the way we planned - we could be cut down in our jobs, blown over by situations, our lives turned upside-down.
We must never underestimate the role that our mothers play in teaching us about God, about His Word, and about salvation. From a very early age, a mother is preparing us for life. Teaching us about our Creator and Redeemer is part of God's purpose for mothers, and we must appreciate the godly mothers and honor them for taking up the challenge of preparing us for life.
God, who created moms, has a very high regard for motherhood. He even compares His love for His children to the nursing mother's love for her own child. As Christians, we are called to reverence our moms and to honor them accordingly, every day of the year, not just on Mother's Day"
There really isn’t a “best” way to describe the church.

So this week we have a memory game which serves as an object lesson on the topic of love. God so loved the world that he sent his Son (John 3:16) God is love. They shall know that we are Christians by our love. Have a great weekend! Love God with all your heart. Love your neighbour as yourself. So here's to Love!
While you might not think of your Christian life as a football game, the Bible does use sports to teach about spiritual truths. In Biblical times they might not have had American football games or superbowls but they did have athletic competitions. The sports may be different, but you'll find some things in common with American football if you read the scriptures carefully. You'll find running, a prize, winning and losing, competition, training, goals, fighting or struggle, opposition, spectators, obstacles and hindrances, focus and rules. Even so, there tons of lessons we can learn from football.
Here's a game we thought up to allow your youth one more chance to celebrate as they start the school year. You can invite visitors and give a small party gag gift to everyone and generate a few laughs at the same time.
