I Will Show That Jesus Is Number One In My Life!

This Week’s Bible Verse: “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9:23b (NLT)

This Week’s Main Point: I Will Show That Jesus Is Number One In My Life!

This Week’s EXCLUSIVE: Jesus’ Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday Luke 19:29-40

Family Activity:

Have family members secretly write down their favorite, or number one things. Have categories that make sense for your family. Some suggested categories are: number one place to sit, number one TV show, number one song, number one singer/band, number one meal. Hold the cards where no one can see them and then ask family members to see if they can guess the number ones from each person’s card. After the guessing game, discuss how sometimes it was easy to guess what someone’s number one thing was and sometimes it wasn’t. Ask the members of your family to describe how each person shows that something is number one in his or her life. For example, how do you show that ____ is your number one TV show? Tell your family that sometimes we do a good job of showing what is number one in our lives and sometimes we don’t. When something is truly important to us, we should show it. We should all work harder to make sure that others can tell that Jesus is the number one, most important thing in our lives.

I Will Worship Jesus!

Bible Story: Palm Sunday and the Triumphal entry - Matthew 21:1-11 (NLT)

Bible Verse: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NLT)

Family Activity - Worship Charades
Write down eight activities on pieces of paper. Make four of them ways to worship (Prayer, singing, offering, reading the Bible) and four of them other things (Cleaning up the room, eating dinner, playing a game, running).
Have each person in the family draw one piece of paper and act out what is on the paper. The rest of the family will try to guess what that person is acting out and if it is a way to worship God. Wrap up the activity by agreeing to worship God every day!
