The kids started with bean bag hot potato to review of our verse. Psalm 139:14 " I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Carrie asked "What is Pure White?" Purity was our Godly Characteristic that we focused on today.
This week in Good News Club we focused on the story of Adam and Eve from Genesis 2-3:24. Carrie taught the kids a song about the beginning of heaven and earth. Then, God created the Garden of Eden and Eve to be the companion for Adam. Sadly, next we see the serpent tempt Eve and introduce sin into the world. What had been been pure and lovely in the garden is now destroyed by sin.
Sin is anything we say, do, or think that does not please God. First we had pure white, then darkness was added by sin in our hearts. But, the Good News is Jesus died on the cross to be our blood covering for our sin. When we believe that He was the Son of God and ask for forgiveness of our sins, He will cleanse us and make us pure white.
This lesson was continued with our small group time when the kids had to pick the color swatch of pure white. (We had various shades of white, but only one matched the pure white color paint swatch.) The pure white reflected absence of blemish, defect, or sin.
Just like in the story, we are like Adam & Eve because we have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom 3:23
God gave up His only Son to make YOU AND ME pure.
“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.”2 Corintians 5:21
Because..."For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
He loves you THAT MUCH! He gave up His son FOR YOU!
What do we have to do to be pure and live forever with Him? Believe that Jesus Christ came to die and take the punishment for your sins.
This is our sole desire for each of the children in Good News Club to believe and grew in His grace!
