Kids Korner: Stand tall and see God’s world (August 21st)

Read Luke 13:10-17 with your family. Sometimes grown ups have been hurt by life so much that their body curls in on itself, their shoulders are rounded, the back is hunched and they hold themselves very tightly. As you can imagine, after a while walking like that, their bodies will be in a great deal…

Bringing Division Luke 12 49 I came to set fire to the earth, and I wish it were already on fire! 50 I am going to be put to a hard test. And I will have to suffer a lot of pain until it is over. 51 Do you think that I came to bring peace to earth? No…
Kids Korner: Sometimes we aren’t happy (August 14th)

Read Luke 12:49-56 with your family. The scripture we read today sounds a bit scary: fire, baptism, fighting… Everything we tell children about Jesus is about love and acceptance, so when adults read passages in the Gospels that don’t show a happy, loving Jesus, they often point somewhere else thinking children can’t handle unhappy thoughts.…

Be Ready Luke 12 32 My little group of disciples, don’t be afraid! Your Father wants to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell what you have and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves moneybags that never wear out. Make sure your treasure is safe in heaven, where thieves cannot steal it and moths cannot destroy…
Kids Korner: Be prepared for God’s call (August 7th)

Read Luke 12:32-40 with your family. Always being prepared seems hard to do. Waiting is hard. However, Jesus helps give us something to focus on while we wait: Focus on what we value, what we consider ‘treasure’. Not trinkets we pick up or stones we have gathered, but what would make us really sad if…

The Rich Fool Luke 12 13 A man in a crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to give me my share of what our father left us when he died.” 14 Jesus answered, “Who gave me the right to settle arguments between you and your brother?” 15 Then he said to the crowd, “Don’t be…
Kids Korner: Being foolish with riches (July 31st)

Read Luke 12:13-21 with your family. At first glance the story of the rich farmer might seem smart, after all he is protecting his future and storing his crops for another time. But listen to why Jesus might call this man a fool: in a community where people were expected to help the poor, this…

How To Pray Luke 11 When Jesus had finished praying, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his followers to pray.” 2 So Jesus told them, “Pray in this way: ‘Father, help us to honor your name.Come and set up your kingdom.3 Give us each day the food we need.4 Forgive our…
Kids Korner: How to pray (July 24th)

Read Luke 11:1-13 with your family. When Jesus was alive, he was not the only spiritual teacher walking around Galilee and Judah, teaching a group of followers named ‘disciples’. There were many others doing the same thing. As long as they didn’t encourage rebellion against Rome, the Romans left them alone – which is why…
