Life after LegoLand Series

Since LegoLand finished we have been doing a series called Life after LegoLand. I am very excited about it because it is all about the foundations of the Christian faith. We are using a devotion book (see below) by LifeWay as our guide which we have encouraged everyone to buy for $7. The 4 week series covers Salvation, Baptism, Lord's Supper, and the role of the Church. I highly recommend this book. I'll post more on it another time but it's great.

Life after LegoLand

LegoLand is officially over and we had a great weekend with all three services. Next week we start a new series called, "Life after LegoLand". For the next 3 days I'll be spending time with my family. Later on in the week after all the LegoLand dust settles I will have lots of pics, videos, and stories of all God has done at LegoLand. Parents thank you for trusting us with your child. Volunteers, simply you rocked it this week, well done! Also if you have a story of something cool that took place last week just comment back from this post. Thanks

New FOkid series: How to be Rich!

How to be RICH! Is a financial series for kids. Engrossed in the most consuming culture in the history of our world we believe it’s time to raise kids with a new definition of rich. As Americans every one of us are rich. We live in the richest nation during the richest time of the world but constantly all we hear is how poor we are. Money is talked about more in the Bible than anything else. As long as our kids have “stuff” we need to be talking about 1) Always being thankful 2) Giving your best 3) Saving for the future 4) Spending for His glory not ours. If you could teach kids anything about money what would you teach them? Would love your feedback.

Weekend Recap, ROCKSTAR fans are nuts.

This we talked about how ROCKSTAR fans are nuts. When talking of people in the Bible that were nuts for God Paul quickly comes to mind. Paul did whatever it took to make Him famous. We had a great weekend all around but a huge highlight was watching 4 kids get baptized this past weekend. AWESOME!!!

Bible Story: II Corinthians 6:4-10, we dissected this passage where Paul talks how they went to prison, went hungry, were beat up, called liars, lost everything, etc all for the sake of making Him famous. It is a challenge not just for adults but for kids too. To take our their faith seriously and passionately.

Homework: We talked about how nuts the Apostle Paul was about Jesus. His fanatical approach to following Jesus is a prime example on how we are to live. Discuss some of the obstacles we face in living a fanatical life for Jesus.

Next Week: Yo momma ROX!!!

ROSKSTAR, new FOkids series

This weekend is our Super Bowl. It is what we Christians are all about. As the Apostle Paul says in I Corinthians 15:16-19 if there is no resurrection then we are to be pited more than all men. Yet there is a resurecction of Christ and of all those who believe in Him. Thus our new series for FOkids is ROCKSTAR, making Him famous! This is another great series out of the awesome church in North Carolina, Pine Ridge Church, http://www.pineridgechurch.com/ Thanks Tadd for knocking it out of the park with this series idea. The ROCKSTAR series is about teaching kids that Jesus is the ultimate ROCKSTAR and that our job is to make Him famous. We will be learning that 1) Jesus is the ultimate ROCKSTAR. 2) Jesus is still ROCKIN out. 3) ROCKSTARS have fans. 4) ROCKSTAR fans are nuts for Him.
