WHAT WAS THE MAIN POINT? God Is The Great Teacher, So I Will Use What I Have Learned!
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE VERSE? “Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:9 (NLT)
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE STORY? Temptation of Jesus (Luke 4:1-15)
MAIN POINT ACTIVITY: Write the Main Point on a piece of paper. Say the Main Point together as a family. Repeat it but cover up one word of the Main Point. Continue this process until family members can say the Main Point with all the words covered up.
READ THE BIBLE STORY TOGETHER: Temptation of Jesus (Luke 4:1-15)
Tell your children about something that happened to you in your past. What lesson did you learn from it? How did it help you later?
LIFE JOURNAL:
Jesus spent time in the wilderness. When He was tempted, He used what He had learned to
help Him. We can use what we have learned from God in the past to help us and to prepare for the future. Have family members draw a large heart on a piece of paper. Using their hearts, have family members draw a map of their lives up to now. They should include important events, life-changing moments, and things that are important to them. By each event, family members should write something they learned from God at that time, or how something they learned from God helped them through that time. When each heart map is fi nished, have family members share their hearts with the family. Explain that we should use what we learn from God to help us in our lives. Use the things you learn by doing what is right and continuing to grow more like Jesus!

Main Point: God Made Me To Pray!
Bible Story: Persistent Widow - Luke 18:1-8
Bible Verse: “When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.” Genesis 5:1b (NLT)
Family Activity
Today, your child learned about praying without giving up. Jesus told his disciples a story about a widow asking a judge over and over for help. Eventually, the judge helped the widow because she asked so many times.
This week, start a prayer paper with your children. Ask them one thing they would like to pray to God for, and write it down. Every night, pray with your children putting special emphasis on their request on the prayer paper. Encourage them to pray continually for the things on their heart.
We don’t always get everything we ask for, but God will do what is best for us when we ask for His help. God will surely help us if we ask Him. We need to pray without giving up, just as the widow continued to
ask the judge for help without giving up.
NEXT WEEK - Be here as we learn how to power up. We begin a new series next Sunday. See you at NewLife!!

This Week in NewLife Kids
Allaso Ranch - Elementary
WHAT WAS THE MAIN POINT?
God Is My Friend, So I Will Spend Time With Him!
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE VERSE? “Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” James 4:8a (NLT)
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE STORY?
David in the Wilderness (1 Samuel 19-20; Psalm 57:5, 6, and 7; Psalm 59:16-17; Psalm 63:3-8)
MAIN POINT ACTIVITY: Write each word of the Main Point on an index card. As a family, take turns timing each other to see who can put the cards in order the fastest.
READ THE BIBLE STORY TOGETHER:
David in the Wilderness (1 Samuel 19-20; Psalm 57:5, 6, and 7; Psalm 59:16-17; Psalm 63:3-8)
Tell your children what you do to spend time with God every day.
QUIET TIME:
David fled to the wilderness. While he was there, David worshiped God and wrote many of the Psalms. He spent time worshiping God regularly. God wants to spend time with us individually. He is our refuge and wants you to rest in Him. You should have a Bible with you every day so you can spend time reading it and praying. Make a chart of the days of the week. Each time you spend time reading your Bible and praying, mark an X on that day. At the end of the week, discuss with your children how reading the Bible and praying to God daily made them feel. Encourage your children to continue spending time daily reading God’s Word and praying to Him.

Main Point: God Made Me To Obey!
Bible Story: Josiah - 2 Kings 22 & 23
Bible Verse: “When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.” Genesis 5:1b (NLT)
Family Activity
This week, your child learned about obeying God and His Word. King Josiah obeyed what God wanted him to do. The Bible tells us what God wants us to do.
This week, make a list with your children of rules they need to obey. Help your children draw a picture of someone following each of those rules. Place it up somewhere in your home where you can see it throughout the week. When you see your children obeying the rules, put a check mark next to that rule. Remind your children throughout the week that it’s important to obey the rules at home as well as
God’s rules.
At the end of the week, have an obedience party celebrating how well your children obeyed. Encourage your children to obey God’s rules just as they obeyed your rules this week. We should obey the things God tells us in the Bible just like King Josiah obeyed God’s rules.
See you next Sunday as we wind up our Allaso Ranch Series.

WHAT WAS THE MAIN POINT? God Is Awesome, So I Will Worship Him!
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE VERSE? “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” Revelation 4:11 (NLT)
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE STORY? The Israelites Build the Tabernacle (Exodus 25 and 40)
MAIN POINT ACTIVITY: Work as a family to create a cheer using the Main Point. Make up motions or do a dance while you perform your cheer together. Create pom-poms or megaphones to use while doing your cheer. Repeat your cheer until everyone can say it by themselves.
READ THE BIBLE STORY TOGETHER: The Israelites Build the Tabernacle (Exodus 25 and 40)
Tell your children of a special time of worship you had in your life. What made it special to you?
WORSHIP GOD:
The Israelites worked hard to build the Tabernacle. They gave their best as an act of worship to God. God is worthy of our worship, and we need to always give our best to Him in everything we do. Because of who God is and everything He has done, we know that He is the only one worthy of our worship.
Plan a special family time of worship one night this week. Have family members come ready to share something as an act of worship. They could play an instrument, sing a special song, read a scripture or recite one from memory, or read a special poem they wrote and read it aloud. Whatever family members choose to do, they should do it to the best of their ability. Encourage your children to give their best when they worship God through prayer, reading their Bibles, tithing, and singing.

Main Point: God Made Me To Give!
Bible Story: The Macedonians’ Gift - 2 Corinthians 8:1-5, Romans 15:26-27
Bible Verse: “When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.” Genesis 5:1b (NLT)
Family Activity
This week, your child learned about giving to others in order to help them. The people who lived in Macedonia didn’t have much to give, but they made the choice to help the people in Jerusalem who needed money because the people of Jerusalem had told them about God.
Just like the Macedonian people, we should be excited to give what we have to help others. This week, work together as a family and make a list of some items you have that others might need. Walk through the house with your children and help them point out different items to put on the list. Decide on one of those things to give to someone else who needs it and give it to them.
Encourage your children to give to others when they see someone in need.

Parent's Tip "God's best gift to you"
Psalm 127 (MSG)
1-2 If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks.
If God doesn't guard the city,
the night watchman might as well nap.
It's useless to rise early and go to bed late,
and work your worried fingers to the bone.
Don't you know he enjoys
giving rest to those he loves?
3-5 Don't you see that children are God's best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Like a warrior's fistful of arrows
are the children of a vigorous youth.
Oh, how blessed are you parents,
with your quivers full of children!
Your enemies don't stand a chance against you;
you'll sweep them right off your doorstep.
Parents, put God first in your life and lead your family God's way and you will be blessed.
Take time this summer with your kids - they are only little for a few years and time goes by so fast. Don't miss "God's best gift to you".

WHAT WAS THE BIBLE VERSE? “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.” Romans 13:1-2 (NLT)
WHAT WAS THE BIBLE STORY? Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
MAIN POINT ACTIVITY: Have one person be the leader. Every time the leader says “Go,” family members should write the Main Point down as many times as possible. When the leader says “Stop,” family members should stop writing. Continue doing this until each person has a turn at being the leader.
READ THE BIBLE STORY TOGETHER: Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
Tell your children about a time when you didn’t follow orders of a person in authority. What happened?
MOTHER MAY I?:
The son in the story, thought that life would be better if he left his father’s house, but living by his own rules brought him nothing but
trouble. Play a game of “Mother May I?” with your family. Arrange ahead of time to have one member of the family keep breaking the rules of the game on purpose. Keep sending the rule breaker back to the beginning, over an over, until someone else wins. Discuss with your family how it was better to follow authority, because you had a chance to win the game. If you didn’t follow authority, you could never have a chance of winning. Our lives will always turn out better when we follow the authorities that God has placed in our lives.

Main Point: God Made Me To Praise!
Bible Story: David bringing the ark to Jerusalem and his song of praise - 1 Chronicles 15:16-16:36
Bible Verse:<i> “When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.” Genesis 5:1b (NLT)
Family Activity
David and the people praised God with instruments, singing, shouting, and offerings. They gave their best as an act of worship to God. God is worthy of our worship, and we can praise Him in different ways. Because of who God is and everything He has done, we know that He is the only one worthy of our praise.
Plan a special family time of worship one night this week. Have family members come to the night ready to share something as an act of worship. They could play an instrument or sing a special song. They could write a special poem and read it during the worship time. Whatever each family member chooses to do, they should each do it to the best of their ability. Help your children make their own act for worship. They could share a special piece of artwork that they created or clap while the family sings together. Encourage your children to praise God through prayer, reading their Bibles, singing, telling others about Him, and always giving their very best.
