The Word

5-11s | Sunday 19th July 2020

Listen to Sybil as she tells us about ‘The Word’…

Some verses to read

Genesis 1

John 1:1-5 - Before the world began, there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  All things were made through him. Nothing was made without him.  In him there was life. That life was light for the people of the world.  The Light shines in the darkness. And the darkness has not overpowered the Light. ICB

Isaiah 55:11 - The words I say do the same thing. They will not return to Me empty. They make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do. ICB

Activities

We have 3 challenges you could try this week!

1) Have a listen to the Bible Book Bop - and see if you can use it to help you remember some of the books that are in the Bible!! Some really do have unusual names!

2) Bible reading challenge - maybe you could read a Bible story everyday with someone in your family, or if you are older, you could read the gospel of Mark - if you read a chapter everyday it would take you 16 days, and with the school summer holidays coming up, this would be something you could do then!

Other great things you could read are some of the Psalms - Psalm 150 is great! Reading a little bit everyday is a great thing to do!

God loves to speak to us when we read His word, so see if you can hear what God is wanting to say as you read…….You could write this down as a way of remembering or you could draw a picture of what you feel God may have said.

3) A few weeks go when Sybil taught on Jesus being The Prince of Peace, she said “When Jesus speaks, His words are powerful” - that is so true!! Jesus spoke and the storm became still. 

Sybil in her talk today asks you to think about words that you may say.

Every day this week, stand in front of a mirror and look at yourself in it and say out loud “GOD LOVES ME”. And then tell someone in your family that God loves them too!!
