Christmas Family Devotion #9

Family Devotions - Christmas Fun, , , , , , , , , , , ,

FOOD FOR THOUGHT, part  4

You will need:

  • 1 bag of Large Marshmallows
  • A candle
  • A Bible marked at 2 Corinthians 5:17

Get Started

Take turns roasting marshmallows over a candle. This can be safely done inside, but be sure to tell your children never to do this unless you are with them. Also, if you put the marshmallow on a fork to hold it over the flame, don’t immediately stick it into your mouth. Instead, scrape it onto a plate and use a separate utensil with which to eat it

ASK—How did the marshmallow change when it was over the fire? (It looked different. It even tasted different. It got hot, etc.)

SAY—Just like the flame brought a change to the marshmallows, Jesus can bring a change to anyone who is willing to give their lives to Him.

Read 2 Corinthians 5:17 from your Bible.

SAY—It doesn’t matter how good or bad a person is or what they look like or what mistakes they’ve made, Jesus is willing to save anyone who comes to Him. Jesus can even change the heart of the meanest person in the world if that person is willing to accept Him as Lord and Savior.

PRAY—Pray for someone you know whom you think doesn’t know Jesus.

Christmas Family Devotion #8

SNOWBALL FIGHT

 You will need:

  • 1 Bag of Large Marshmallows
  • A Bible marked at 1 Corinthians 10:13

Get Started

Have an inside “snowball” fight using large marshmallow. You may want to outline certain boundaries, such as not going in bedrooms, etc. Or, if you desire, you can play all over the house. You can even play a hide-and-seek version. Have fun and don’t worry about marshmallows going everywhere. Messes last a little while; memories last a lifetime. After your game, gather your family around and continue with the following:

ASK—Did anybody get hit by a marshmallow they didn’t see coming?

SAY—In life sometimes you get hit by a temptation you didn’t see coming.

ASK—What is an example of temptation?  (Being tempted to cheat on a test, etc.)

ASK—Is it wrong to be tempted?  (No. Temptation is not wrong, but if you give into the temptation, that’s sin. Jesus was tempted, but He overcame it.)

Read 1 Corinthians 10:13 from your Bible.

SAY—God always makes a way for you to escape from temptation. So the next time you’re being tempted, talk to Jesus and ask Him for the strength to do what’s right. Then let your love for Jesus overcome the temptation because those who love Jesus obey Him.

PRAY—Thank God for always making a way to escape from temptation.

Christmas Family Devotion #7

Family Devotions - Christmas Fun, , , , , , , , , , , ,

FOOD FOR THOUGHT, part  3

You will need:

  • Instant Hot Chocolate
  • Cups
  • Small Marshmallows
  • Hot Water (but not too hot)
  • A Bible marked at Romans 8:38-39, John 10:28-29

Get Started

Help each member of your family make a cup of hot chocolate. Then, once it’s mixed, ask them if they can separate out the chocolate from the water.

SAY—Just like the chocolate and the water can’t be separated because they have been joined together, when you give your life to Jesus, you are joined to Him and nothing can separate you from His love.

Read Romans 8:38-39 from your Bible.

ASK—What can separate you from the love of Christ? (Nothing—not even you. After all, you are a “created thing”)

SAY—Once you’ve given your life to Christ, nothing can separate you from Him.

Read John 10:28-29 from your Bible.

Put a small marshmallow in your hand and make a fist. Ask if anyone thinks they can pull it out. Let them take turns trying. Even let them use two hands or join in together. The only way for them to get it out is to be stronger than you.

ASK—Is anyone stronger than God?  (No.)

SAY—Then no one is able to pull you out of His hands and He will never let go of you. He loves you and will always keep you in His hands.
