Our CDTX lesson on Sunday September 5th was based on Luke 4:40-42. The key theme revolved around “Labor Day”, and how important it is to rest and renew as our journey of Christian faith and witness continues.
Below are follow-up questions for you to discuss with your children…one for each day of the week. Parents are encouraged to guide the depth of discussion based on the age of their child. Please make it a priority to engage in these Faith-Fueling family discussions!
Monday Sept 6th: Jesus was a very busy guy. He had an important message to spread, and a lot of people he needed to care for and train. However, Jesus still took time for rest. What does this teach us? What does Luke 4:40-42 (especially verse 42) model for us?
Tuesday Sept 7th: Many times in the Bible God instructs us to take care of our bodies. God knows that if our bodies are feeling sick or run down, then it will be hard for us to love and care for others (as we serve God.) Name some things that are important to do as you take care of the body God gave you. Check out Ephesians 5:29.
Wednesday Sept 8th: The Bible calls your body a “temple.” This is because the Spirit of Jesus (the Holy Spirit) lives in us. Isn’t it awesome that we are a “house/home” for our Savior, as He works through our life! What does 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 say about this?
Thursday Sept 9th: Jesus knows that we struggle with sins (making mistakes that hurt God, ourselves, and others.) The Bible tells us that Jesus died on the cross to pay the debt/price for our sins. It’s that awesome truth that sparked the words written in Matthew 11:28. What do those words mean to you, in light of what Jesus did for you on the cross?
Friday Sept 10th: When we are rested, and our bodies are taken care of, we are poised to boldly serve our Savior Jesus. What does Galatians 5:22-23 say about the ways the Holy Spirit empowers us to live for Jesus. Which of these traits are you good at? Which do you need to work on?
