Hope
This particular week the children wore kings' crowns as we discussed that earthly kings/leaders come and go, but Jesus is the King of Kings forever!
We made pipe cleaner glasses as a reminder to seek the Lord and study his Word.
We did a coloring sheet on hope and discussed that we HAVE hope, a secure confidence, because of what Jesus has done for us.
Check out what gotquestions.org says about hope.
"The Bible has quite a lot to say about hope. Biblical hope has as its foundation faith in God. The word hope in English often conveys doubt. For instance, “I hope it will not rain tomorrow.” In addition, the word hope is often followed by the word so. This is the answer that some may give when asked if they think that they will go to heaven when they die. They say, “I hope so.” However, that is not the meaning of the words usually translated “hope” in the Bible. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word batah and its cognates has the meaning of confidence, security, and being without care; therefore, the concept of doubt is not part of this word.
Therefore, biblical hope is a reality and not a feeling. Biblical hope carries no doubt. Biblical hope is a sure foundation upon which we base our lives, believing that God always keeps His promises. Hope or confident assurance can be ours when we trust the words, “He who believes on Me has everlasting life” (John 6:47). Accepting that gift of eternal life means our hope is no longer filled with doubt but, rather, has at its sure foundation the whole of God’s Word, the entirety of God’s character, and the finished work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
We need to be a people who pass along hope.
