Grace Kids
This Sunday we will study another prophet God sent to warn the people of Judah to repent of their sin. By reading Isaiah 22 & 48 our kids will be taught that the people turned away from God and worshipped idols, so God judged their sin and allowed the Babylonians to capture Jerusalem. God loved his people and disciplined their sin, but he also gave them hope by promising that one day they would be free. A greater day of judgment is coming when God will judge sin for a final time. Jesus came to die on the cross and rise again. Everyone who repents of sin and trusts in Jesus will be safe from God’s judgment and have eternal life. Please pray for our kids to repent and put their trust in Jesus.
Opportunities to Disciple Our Kids
Opportunities are available on Sunday mornings and mid-week. If you’re interested in partnering with us, email us below for more details.
