  • Kids Korner: Growing our faith (October 2nd)

    Read Luke 17:5-10 with your family. Sometimes when we read the stories in the Bible some words jump out at us and that is all we focus on. The word “slave” is one of those. Most of us only know the slavery that happened in the USA 150 years ago, a slavery based in racism.…

      Lazarus and the Rich Man Luke 16 19 “There was a certain rich man who clothed himself in purple and fine linen, and who feasted luxuriously every day. 20 At his gate lay a certain poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 Lazarus longed to eat the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Instead,…

  • Kids Korner: Lazarus & the Rich Man (September 25th)

    Read Luke 16:19-31 with your family. If Luke 15 was the chapter about the lost things, then Luke 16 is about how rich people don’t understand Jesus’ teachings. The story today is what we call ‘apocryphal’, meaning it is just a story, not a prediction, and it is meant to both fill us with hope…

      Faithful with Money Luke 16 Jesus also said to the disciples, “A certain rich man heard that his household manager was wasting his estate. 2 He called the manager in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give me a report of your administration because you can no longer serve as my manager.’ 3 “The…

  • Kids Korner: How to use money (September 18th)

    Read Luke 16:1-13 with your family. Money is one of the hardest conversations to have in the church. It was like that in Jesus’ day too. For some, getting rich was a sure sign that God favoured them. However, Jesus taught people that God didn’t value money, God valued relationships and how we shared what…

      Lost Sheep & Lost Coin Luke 15  Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. 2 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, “This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.” 3 Then Jesus told them this story: 4 If any of you has 100 sheep, and…

  • Kids Korner: Lost and found (September 11th)

    Read Luke 15:1-10 with your family. This entire chapter in Luke could be called “finding lost things” because there are three parables about something or someone being lost and the rejoicing when they are found. We are only looking at the first two parables: the lost sheep and the lost coin. One of the cool…

      Being A Disciple Luke 14 25 Large crowds were walking along with Jesus, when he turned and said: 26  You cannot be my disciple, unless you love me more than you love your father and mother, your wife and children, and your brothers and sisters. You cannot follow me unless you love me more than you…

  • Kids Korner: Following Jesus (September 4th)

    Read Luke 14:25-33 with your family. Jesus had two types of followers: those he chose or who chose him early in his ministry, and those who had heard about Jesus’ reputation and wanted to be close to see what Jesus would do next. This second group of people were the ones Jesus was talking to…

      How To Be A Guest and Host A Party Luke 14 One Sabbath, Jesus was having dinner in the home of an important Pharisee, and everyone was carefully watching Jesus. 7 Jesus saw how the guests had tried to take the best seats. So he told them: 8  When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t…
