Friday Family Devo
Existence of God
FRIDAY, AUGUST 7
Join us for another round of Friday Family Devo! We are starting our new series on Apologetics. Listen in as our Children's Director Erin Jewell takes us through our first topic of Existence of God!
Action Steps:
Pre-K
- Remind kids that “without God, there would be nothing” to emphasize that God is the ultimate cause of everything. (COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT)
- Show your preschooler an image of the universe. Talk about how big it is, and how it shows us how powerful God is based on what He has made. (DESIGN ARGUMENT)
- Give your kids several scenarios and ask them to determine what is right behavior vs. wrong behavior. They will most likely get the answer right even without personal experience. Explain it’s because God has put those rule in our hearts. (MORAL ARGUMENT)
Grade School
- If you were to ask God one question, what would it be and why?
- What amazes you about God the most?
- What doubts do you have about the existence of God?
