We are His BRIDE.

Ephesians 5: 22-23

His Bride does not go UNLOVED.

Matt 16:18:
On this rock I will build My church,
and the forces of Hades will not
overpower it.
Q&A: Q. In how many persons
Advent - Means “coming” and often refers to the four
does this one God exist? Sunday’s before Christmas.

A. In three persons (Mt. 3:16, 17; *Taken from Holman Publishing’s Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary for
Kids.

Jn. 5:23; 10:30; 14:9, 10; 15:26;

16:13 -15; 1 Jn. 5:20, 2 Jn. 9; Rv.
1:4, 5).

“Honey never spoils.”

Have you every played a clapping game?
*Taken from National Geographic Kids Weird But True: 300 outrageous facts.
Generally girls do this and have some
rhyme to it. See if you can create a
“clapping game” where instead of a rhyme
you say the memory work.
At the Summit, we’re striving to climb to new heights with Jesus. These five devotionals are suggestions of activities to do as a family to help your family
to climb closer to Jesus together at home during the week. This tool is intended to help you lead a family worship time. Please go to God in worship as a
family on a regular basis even if you do not use this resource. If your family completes one of the devotionals parents can initial in the boxes below and
the child will receive a buck for every devotional completed.

Devotional One, Read: Read the following verse about the
Church being Jesus’ bride.
Scriptures to consider: Isaiah 61:10; Luke 5:34-36; Ephe-
sians 5:22-23; Revelation 19:6-8; Revelation 21:9
Devotional Two, Pray: In a marriage communication is
one of the most important things. In the same way we
need to constantly be talking to our savior. He wants to
know everything. He wants to answer our requests. Will
you make it your goal to pray to the Lord like 1 Thessaloni-
ans 5:17 says? Will you begin today?

Devotional Three, Mold: This one might be easier for girls
than boys but please try to participate. Mold a wedding.
Jesus uses the word picture of a husband and a wife to
show us what our relationship to Him should look like. He
is molding us into the “righteous bride” that Revelation 19
talks about. Ask Jesus to help you live for Him.
Devotional Four, Build: Build a scene from Genesis 2:4-25
using Legos, Duplos, Mega Blocks, or some other kind of
building toy. See if you can use these blocks to get all of
the details right. Talk with your parents about how this
story might relate to the one we learned on Sunday.

Devotional Five, Sing: I love hymns. Hymns are songs
that people might have been singing for hundreds of
years. One of my favorites is “I need thee every hour”
With your parent’s help, look up this song on the internet
or in a hymn book. See if you can find the story behind
the song. Talk about this song and what it means. A good
resource is “www.cyberhymnal.org,” you can listen and
read the lyrics and read about the hymn. See if you can
sing the hymn once you’re finished learning about it.
Devotional Six, Serve: A marriage is all about trading
(sacrificing) for your spouse. Jesus traded His life to show
us love. Many other have traded many things to show Je-
sus their love. Serving is all about trading (sacrifice) what
you want for what others need and for what God wants.
Trade your allowance this week or your fun time and serve
someone else. Someone in your family or someone in
your neighborhood. See if you can really help someone.
