Answer: Feet or Foot

DISCUSSION

SAY: People can use their bodies to do good or bad.

ASK:

-How can people use their hands to do good? To do bad?

-How can people use their feet to do good? To do bad?

-How can people use their mouths to do good? To do bad?

SAY: Listen to this verse about beautiful feet…

Read Romans 10:13-15

SAY: The Bible says they have “beautiful feet” because they bring the Good News to others. You can use your hands, feet and mouths to show other people the Good News that Jesus is real, that He loves them, and that He died and rose again to make a way to save them from their sins. If you live for Christ and share Him, the Bible says that you have beautiful feet.

If you want, have everyone take off their shoes and compare feet. How beautiful someone’s feet are has nothing to do with how good they look or smell—It has to do with how they share the Good News of Jesus with the people around them.

Take prayer requests and PRAY with your family.

(EXTRA: Make the word “Foot” or “Feet” your Word of the Day and see how many times your family can use it in conversations in the next 24 hours.)

ASK: Did you know your tongue is one of the most powerful weapons in the world? How can your tongue hurt people? Has anyone ever hurt your feelings with their tongue? What are other ways we can do damage with our tongues?

SAY: Listen to what the Bible says about how powerful the tongue is. These verses are going to talk about several ways that tongue is dangerous. Listen for what sticks out to you the most.

Read James 3:2-12

ASK: What part sticks out to you the most? How can we guard our tongues from doing evil? How can we use our tongues to do good?

Take prayer requests and PRAY for your family to use their tongues wisely.

If you want, you can have a tongue competition too—See how far they can stick out their tongues; can anyone touch their nose with their tongue; can anyone twist their tongue upside down; can anyone talk without moving their tongue.

DISCUSSION

ASK: Have you ever been afraid of death?

Take prayer requests and PRAY for your family.

Answer: Water

DISCUSSION

Have your family race to see who can get their Bibles and get back first.

Show your family an easy way to find the book of Psalms by opening to the middle of the Bible. This usually will put you in Psalms or Proverbs. Help your family find Psalm chapter 42 and then to find and read verse 1-2.

Read Psalm 42:1-2

ASK: What is this verse talking about?

SAY: This verse is giving a comparison. The writer of this Psalm says that he is thirsty for God in the same way that a deer gets thirsty for a stream of water.

ASK: What does it mean to be thirsty for God?

ASK: What is it like to be thirsty for water? (You want it. You need it and when you’re really thirsty, you need it so bad that you can’t get your mind off of it. It’s a necessity for life.)

SAY: When a person is thirsty for God: They want to be with Him; they know they need Him so bad it’s hard to think of anything else; It’s a reminder that just as we need air and water to live, a person must have Jesus to have real life too.

ASK: How “thirsty” are you to know God? How do you desire to know God better everyday? If you don’t have a desire to know Him better, why do you think you feel this way?

SAY: There’s something else God wants us to be thirsty for too.

Help your family turn to the book of Matthew. First find Psalms by turning to the middle of the Bible. Then turn to the middle of the half on the right. This should put you somewhere near or in the Gospels. Matthew is the first Gospel.

Read Matthew 5:6.

SAY: God wants us to thirst for Him and His righteousness.

Take prayer requests and PRAY that your family will thirst for God.

Answer: The Bible or God’s Word

DISCUSSION

Have your family race to see who can get their Bibles and get back first.

Show your family an easy way to find the book of Psalms by opening to the middle of the Bible. This usually will put you in Psalms or Proverbs. Help your family find Psalm 119 (the longest chapter in the Bible) and then to find and read verse 105.

Read Psalm 119:105

ASK: What does this verse mean?

SAY: Imagine walking through the dark. You can’t see where you are going or what is in front of you. What do you need? (A light.)

SAY: God’s Word is a lamp to our feet. It shows us how to live, what to do, and what not to do…God’s Word is also a light to our path. It shows us God’s plans for us.

SAY: On a dark path, you can’t always see everything that is ahead but you can see enough to know where to step next. God’s Word will always guide you in every situation to know God’s plan for you.

ASK: How can we, as a family, know God’s Word better?

Take prayer requests and PRAY with your family.
