Kids 1st

Hey, parents! As you’re on the road today, let’s start a conversation. There are lots of ways we can practice putting others before ourselves.

Here are some ideas to get you started:
• Help Mom and Dad without being asked. Do things like setting the table, sweeping the garage, or cleaning up your bedroom.
• Invite new people to sit with you at church and school.
• Let someone take your place waiting in line.
• Let someone else take the last cookie or dessert.
• Do a sibling’s chore for them.
• Let a sibling or friend sit in the front seat of the vehicle.

When we put others before ourselves, we are showing them God’s love without saying a word. Read about this truth in Luke 14:1, 7–15.

We want to be a part of your family discussion! Share your thoughts, conversations, and practical ways to put others first in the comments below.

Parents, use this moment to talk to your kids about trusting Jesus. Everyone has things that make them anxious or afraid. While Jesus never promised that we wouldn’t be afraid, He did promise that He would be there for us.

TALK ABOUT IT: Kids, have you felt afraid or anxious about something? It’s okay to feel that way—but the truth is that you’re never alone. When we give these feelings to Jesus, we can trust He hears us and will comfort our hearts. Let’s pray and ask Jesus to help us when we feel afraid or anxious: “Jesus, thank You for caring for every little part of me. I give You my fear, and trust that You will comfort my heart. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. In Your name, we pray. Amen.”

Parents, as you tuck in your kids tonight, take a moment to talk about the story of the woman and the perfume. This woman came to Jesus with all she had and without worrying about what others thought. Let’s read the story together!

READ: Luke 7:36–30
The Bible tells us that while Jesus was eating dinner, a woman came to the house. She brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume and poured it all over Jesus’ feet. Everyone was shocked and angry that the woman would waste this precious perfume on Jesus’ feet, but this was the woman’s way of showing Jesus her great love for Him. Jesus received her gift, forgave her sins, and she left free and full of joy because of Him.

ASK: Why do you think the woman poured the expensive perfume over Jesus’ feet? Do you think she was afraid of what others thought of her?

PRAY: God, thank You for forgiving me of my sins. I want to pour out my love for You and worship You just like the woman with the perfume. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Parents, as you sit down for dinner, take a second to discuss what it looks like to listen to Jesus.
In the story of Nicodemus (John 3:1–21), we learn that Nicodemus realized that there was a lot more to faith than just following the rules; he needed to follow Jesus too. By listening to Jesus, Nicodemus was never the same, and we know the same is true for us. As a family, go around the table and discuss why it is important to listen to Jesus and some practical ways you can do so.

Here are some ideas to get the conversation started:
• How do you listen to Jesus?
• Is it hard to hear Jesus’ voice?
• Why is it important to listen to Jesus?
• Share a time you heard Jesus speak to you and how you responded.
