Family Devotions:

Introduction: If you could hop in a time machine and go anywhere in history, where would you go? Would you visit the samurai in medieval Japan? Would you see what it was like to live during the times of the Bible? Would you go back to see what your parents were like when they were kids? Isn’t it amazing to think that God has experienced all

of this—every time and place! He even knows all that will happen in the future. For those who have faith in Jesus the reward is eternal life with God!

• Monday- In what ways are you different today than when you were one year old?
• Tuesday- What does it mean that God never changes?
• Wednesday- Is it easier to trust God knowing that his character won’t ever change? Thursday- Read Romans 6:23. How does our future change when we have faith in Jesus as our Savior?
• Friday- Pray together as a family, thanking God that you can trust him with the future.
• Experience- Look through old family photos together. Try to find some from several generations ago to show your kids how much has changed over time. Talk about the way people and the world around us changes but God always stays the same.

• Monday- How do you feel when someone is mean or has done something wrong to you?
• Tuesday- How do we know that God is always right? Why does God get to choose what is right and what is wrong?
• Wednesday- Read Romans 3:23. What do we deserve for our sin? Do we really want God to give us justice?
• Thursday- Read Romans 3:24-26. How does Jesus show us that God hates sin?
• Friday- How should we respond when someone wants us to do something we know is wrong? What motivates us to do what is right?
• Experience- Choose your favorite family game (board game, kickball, tag, etc.) and choose a prize for the winner (ice cream?) When the game is over, explain that because one person won the whole family wins. Talk about the fact that because Jesus died on the cross, we can all be saved. He won the game for us!

Family Devotions: Introduction: Imagine walking into a messy room with piles of clothes and toys all over. You parents want you to pick up each toy, sock, and shirt and put it in its place. God wants things to be in their perfect place, because he is perfect. God isn’t rigid and harsh with his people when they are mixed up and messed up. Because God loves us he sent his Son Jesus to die for our sins, and he sends his Holy Spirit to put everything in our lives back into its perfect place. Because God is good, we can trust him to put our lives in order.
