Kids Programming on June 21st!

Hey parents!

I'm so excited about what's happening at Liquid Church this year! We're having a blast learning about faith and science with Pastor Tim, and as we do that, our kids are learning about faith as well.

In Preschool, our kids learned that obedience is always the best way to respond to our parents and to God.

In Elementary, our kids learned that sometimes we might doubt who Jesus is, but hearing about what He has done often helps us trust in who He is.

In SURGE, the kids learned that God is trustworthy even in the middle of life's hardships.

Here are some questions you could ask your kids:

1. What does it look like to “have a storm in your life”? Why is a “storm” a good description for those events?
2. Have you ever been through a difficult time that you would call a storm? What was it like?
3. The speaker said we are all in one of three places. Which one of these best describes you right now?

• You are currently in the middle of a storm.
• A storm is coming and you don’t know about it. 
• Or you are just walking away from a storm that has blown through. 

1. Would you say that you believe God is in control? 
2. Do you feel like God is in control even in the middle of your storm? 
3. Read John 16:33. How can this help you remember God is in control—even in the storms of life? 

“I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world” (The Message).

On behalf of our entire Liquid Kids team, thank you so much for the opportunity you've given us to serve you and your family!

Kids Programming on June 14th!

What a fantastic day we had at Liquid Kids! I'll avoid my usual discourse ;-) and just give you the info you're looking for!

Here's what we learned in Preschool:

Here's what we learned in Elementary:

And here's the GodTime card:

Here's what we learned in SURGE:

Following Christ was never meant to be done alone—we need Community.

A.  Feeling this way, acknowledging that need for other people—for connecting with people in a deeper way—is normal. 

It is even healthy. God Himself made us that way intentionally. 

B.  When I say the words, “In the beginning,” many of you know exactly what book of the Bible I am referring to— 

Genesis. And many of you here could tell me everything that God created, and how long it took Him to do it, and 

how He said everything was “good” at the end of each day spent creating. And a lot of you could tell me that the 

next to the last thing the book of Genesis tells us God made was man, and that God named him Adam. Does any of 

this sound familiar? 

C.  Right there in the second chapter of Genesis we read: When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens—and 

no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God 

had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and 

watered the whole surface of the ground—the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed 

into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:4-7 NIV). 

D.  For the next eleven verses Adam is alone. In those verses we read about the garden that Adam is placed in. We 

read about this incredibly sweet deal he has—he can eat anything he wants, except from one tree, and he knows 

what is expected of him—to work and care for this paradise. Now think about this. At this point, there was the 

garden, there were the animals, there was Adam and there was God. In theory, it sounds like Adam has no reason 

to complain about anything. What else could he possibly want? If Adam had said he was lonely, God had every right 

to respond by saying, “Lonely? You’re lonely? What about Me? I’m here, you can hang out with Me. Don’t you know 

that all of Me is more than enough for all of you? You have no reason to be lonely, get over it.” 

 

We don’t know if Adam complained about anything to God. Adam may not have even known what loneliness was, or 

realized that what he was missing was other people. If existing as the only human was all he knew, he may not have 

known his experience was incomplete. But God knew. God knew that this picture of humanity was not done with 

just the one human. God knew that like every other creature in the garden that had a suitable partner, Adam was in 

need of something more. Adam needed community with another person. 

E.  Listen to this:  

The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Now the LORD 

God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man 

to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man 

gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper 

was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of 

the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out 

of the man, and he brought her to the man.  

The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken 

out of man” (Genesis 2:18-23 NIV).

Hey parents!

What a week we had! I don't know about you guys, but I'm having trouble getting my feet moving like a gazelle's, but I know I have to RUN! (If that analogy is lost on you, check out the latest in our Life. Money. Hope. series on the iCampus at 1pm on Wednesday June 10.)

Sometimes it's tough to have faith that God will provide for us (and it can be easy to trust FICO), but He's always going to provide. That's the promise He made to us! And we can see it all around us. He's always showing us that He's there for us. We just have to look for the signs and have faith that He'll be true to His word.

Our preschoolers learned this week that the words in the Bible are God's words and that they're all true. Here's the Small Talk card:

Our 1st through 5th graders learned about faith, and seeing evidence of God's hand in nature. Here's the Fridge Door card:

In SURGE our kids learned about parables, the lessons Christ taught here on earth that were, in a nutshell, stories about earth that revealed something about heaven. The particular parable that we talked about was the "Parable of the Prodigal" (found in Luke 15:11-32).

Here are some questions you may want to ask your middle-schooler:

Why do you think Jesus spoke so often in parables?

Has anyone in your life taught you something in this way?

Can you name other parables in the Bible?

Many people can relate to the lost son parable. Discuss what each character might be feeling? (Father, older brother, younger brother)

Once again, I want to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to teach your kids. We love doing this Sunday after Sunday, and I hope our program has helped your family in some small way. I look forward to doing it all again next week!

Until then, have an awesome week!

Hey parents!

What an amazing two weeks we've had at Liquid! With the FMO in two cities and the start of the Life, Money, Hope series, it's been one of the most exciting two weeks we've ever experienced here at Liquid.

It's been no less exciting (and informative) for your kids. In Preschool we learned about God's providence for Abraham and his family as he moved from his hometown of Ur to a new land of God's choosing.

In Elementary we learned that if we stand for what's right, God will always be with us, even when no one else is. Stephen faced this challenge and was stoned for his beliefs, but God rewarded Stephen for his conviction.

In SURGE we learned about prayer. We learned about the importance of cultivating a strong one-on-one relationship with God and a "place" where we can get alone with Him. We talked about some misconceptions about prayer, common practices, and the "Why" behind it. God invented prayer for us to cultivate a relationship with Him. And this relationship is characterized by closeness and connection.
