King’s Kids Recap: October 7
Preschool-3rd Grade: This week we covered Genesis 10-11. These chapters talk about the Tower of Babel. After the flood, the nations of the earth came up with what seemed like a great idea: “We’ll build a tower all the way up to heaven!” The nations wanted to be as impressive as God. God called this place Babel; from there he scattered people and their languages. God will reach the nations by scattering them from that place so that they fill the earth.
Weekly Memory Verse: Genesis 11:9
4th/5th Grade: In our Questions and Answers book, we covered the question “How and why did God create us?” The answer is: God created us male and female in his own image to glorify him. Ask your child: How can we glorify God in our daily lives?

Preschool-3rd Grade: This week we covered Genesis 6-9. These chapters talk about how the sin of the world was so bad that God caused a big flood to cover the entire earth. For forty days and forty nights, God made it rain nonstop. God told Noah he was going to destroy the earth, but save him and his family. Through lots of hard work, Noah built the Ark. When the flood was over, God gave a sign to remember his promise. Ask your kiddos this week what that sign was (they should say: a rainbow!).
Weekly Memory Verse: Genesis 7:12
4th/5th Grade: In our Questions and Answers book, we covered the question “How many persons are there in God?” The answer is: There are three persons in one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Dig deeper this week and find out how all three work together!
King’s Kids Recap: September 23
Preschool-3rd Grade: This week we covered Genesis 3-4. These chapters talk about how sin was everywhere and in everyone. Life was hard, and many consequences arose due to humanity’s sin. Hearts were full of evil thoughts, mouths full of hateful words, and hands full of evil actions. However, someday everything wrong will be made right. We can have hope in Jesus because of his rescue mission! Ask your kiddos this week who will rescue us from the curse (they should say: Jesus!).
Weekly Memory Verse: Romans 5:12
4th/5th Grade: In our Questions and Answers book, we covered the question “What is God”? The simple answer is: God is the creator of everyone and everything. Challenge your child by asking: How do we know this is true?

K-5th Grade: This week we read from Luke 5:17-26. Four friends of a paralyzed man decide to get Jesus’ help. Unable to get through the crowds, the four friends lower their paralyzed friend through the roof on his mat. Jesus offers forgiveness first and then healing. Jesus forgives us, and that’s the best kind of healing.
Preschool: Today our Bible story was about Jesus being tempted in the desert. Jesus is God in human form. He was tested in the same way we are but he resists because he is perfect. We can't be perfect until the day we go home to heaven. Jesus came here to forgive us all the times we give into temptation. Because Jesus did not give in to the devil's lies, he is our perfect Savior.

K-5th Grade: Our Bible lesson this week comes from Luke 4:16-30. Jesus visits his hometown synagogue and reads some words from the book of Isaiah about coming to help the captives and the blind. He also says that he came for everyone, not just Jews. The people of Nazareth were not pleased to hear that Jesus loves everyone.
Preschool: This week we learned about the three boys thrown into the fiery furnace in Daniel 3. We talked about how the boys chose to worship God even if it meant being thrown in the fire. They believed that God could save them from the flames and even if He didn't, they vowed to stay loyal. We also learned that even in hard times God stands in it with us. Just like how God protected the three boys from fire and death, Jesus protected us from death when he hung on the cross for our sins.

K-5th grade: Before he starts teaching and healing, Jesus takes 40 days of quiet time in the desert. When he's weak and hungry, Satan comes to Jesus and tries to tempt him in three ways. But Jesus shows us the right way, and he uses Bible verses to say no to temptation.
Preschool: Long ago, a man named Balaam was paid to try and curse the Israelite people, but he wasn't listening to God. While he was riding his donkey, an angel of the Lord stood in the road, but Balaam couldn't see it. His donkey could, so it kept trying to get out of the way, causing Balaam to hit it. Finally, God made the donkey talk, which got Balaam's attention and helped him see the angel. The story teaches us that God can use anything to get our attention, and it's important to listen to Him and do what is right, not just what is easy or what someone else wants.

Preschool: The Israelites grumbled, doubted, and disobeyed—and so do we. We need someone to lead us faithfully, like Moses led the people—but even better. Jesus is the perfect leader who never sinned and always obeyed God. He gives us living water and the Bread of Life.

This week K-5th grade learned about a group of wise men who’ve studied the stars notice an unusual star and follow it, looking for the newborn king that had caused the star to rise. When the wise men find Jesus, they worship him because Jesus is the king. Hearing of this, King Herod wants to kill Jesus, but God leads both the wise men and Jesus’ family to keep Jesus safe. This week's story came from Matthew 2:1-18 if you wish to read the story again with your children.
Preschool learned about the ten plagues of Egypt and how Moses led God's people out of Egypt. We learned that just like the Israelites needed someone to rescue them from Pharaoh, we need Jesus to rescue us from our sin. Moses helped save God’s people temporarily—but Jesus saves us forever. Our story this week was a shortened version of Exodus chapters 5-14. CLICK HERE to play the new song they learned and sing it throughout the week.
