Day 5

KNOW

**For more resources to train yourself as a parent, challenge your older children (upper elementary through teens), or to simply go deeper, check out the Bonus>Extra Resources Tab in the app**.
  • Begin your family devo time with a prayer asking God to focus everyone’s attention on Him together.  Feel free to have one of your kids pray!
  • Say this week’s Gospel statement out loud together (in the picture above!)…feel free to have your family say it along with you, or repeat short phrases. Our goal is to memorize this phrase by the end of the week!
  • Option 1 (for families w/ older kids or no kids at home):  Listen to the devotional over the song “Lament,” by the Worship Initiative:
  • Option 2 (for families w/ younger kids)- BIBLE TIME: Read Genesis 3 out loud together, then watch the summary devo below from a series called, “Jesus in All of Genesis.”
    • Challenge your children who are old enough to read to follow along in their own physical Bibles.

GROW

  • Family Discussion: What was your favorite part of this video?

GO

  • Take turns praying as a family.  How do you try to get good things in your life without going to God?  Will you confess this as sin and ask for God’s help to trust Him that He is enough and provides EXACTLY what we need in our lives that is good in Him?
  • THIS WEEK‘S CHALLENGE: Have each family member share out loud about one person who needs to hear that God is holy and created us to be with Him, but our sins separate us from Him!  Take time to pray for each person by name.
  • Have one family member or all re-state today’s Gospel statement: Our sins separate us from God.
  • BONUS OPTION TO CLOSE: Listen & sing along with “Romans 3:23” by David Crain, “Come Ye Sinners” by the Worship Initiative, or “Lament” by the Worship Initiative.
