The Right Way To Live is To Forgive!
Sing the Main Point to the tune of one of your child’s favorite songs.
Bible Story: The parable
of the unmerciful servant.
Matthew 18:21-35
Family Activity: Carry The Weight
Get a back pack and a lot of heavy books. Have one member of your
family wear the back pack and the other members of your family hold the books.
Have the person wearing the backpack run around the house or around the room
and time them. Then have each family member tell about a time that someone hurt
their feelings or made them mad. For each time add one of the books to the back
pack. Then have the person with the back pack run again. Keep repeating until
the person is too tired to run anymore. Ask them if it was easier to run with
the empty backpack or the full backpack. Remind your family that when we don’t
forgive, it is like adding a heavy book to the backpack. Our lives can be
weighed down by bitterness and unforgiveness. Have a group prayer time where
your family prays, asking God to help you forgive the people that you mentioned
in
the game.
See you next Sunday!!
