This month at Sandy Ridge, our Covenant Kids are focusing on the theme of Worship. What a powerful lesson and discussion we had this week!
We talked about Lucifer, who was created by God and held a position of honor. He desired the worship and glory that belonged only to God. Because of his pride and rebellion, he was cast out of heaven and thrown down to the earth.
We taught the children that Satan seeks to draw people away from God, but each of us must make a choice about who we will serve. As Joshua declared, “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Our prayer is that our children will choose to serve the Lord with all their hearts.
The children were eager to participate and shared what they believe worship is. Some of their responses included praying, singing, praising God, reading the Bible, going to church, helping others, obeying God, and putting God first. It was encouraging to hear how they already recognize that worship is more than just music. Worship is a lifestyle that honors God every day.
We also discussed how God is the only One who has the right to be jealous because He alone is worthy of our devotion, praise, and worship. Unlike human jealousy, God’s jealousy comes from His love for us and His desire for us to seek Him above all else.
The children opened their smartphones and Bibles as we read Matthew 6:33, focusing especially on the first three words: “But seek first…” We emphasized that if they will seek God first, put Him first in their lives, and make Him their priority, God will continue to grow them as worshipers.
Each child made a commitment to read and meditate on Matthew 6:33 every day this week. We look forward to following up with them during our Saturday Enrichment Covenant Kids gathering and hearing how God has been working in their lives.
We thank God for what He is doing at Sandy Ridge! We truly have a good problem. More children are attending, new members are being added, and lives are being impacted by the Gospel. To God be all the glory!
Please join us in praying that God will send more workers into the harvest as we continue to plant and water the future of the Ridge. We believe God is raising up the next generation of worshipers, leaders, and disciples right before our eyes.
“But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” -Matthew 6:33
We love the Covenant Kids and have the T-shirts to prove it!
