Bible Story
Object Lesson
Hey PowerHouse & RAD’s,
Did you know that when God made Adam, he was all alone and God said, ‘It’s not good for man to be alone’… AND did you also know that God also had conversations with Adam and Eve?
When read the story of creation in Genesis chapters 1-3. There we notice that God ‘talked’ to Adam and Eve. IMAGINE THAT!! Also, we notice that it was important to God that Adam had a friend. When God created Adam and then Eve, they were alone in the garden with all the animals.
At the moment, we might feel ‘alone’. Away from all our friends and all the things that we usually do. That means that we have something in common with Adam and Eve!
Even though we can’t go see our friends at the moment, or play in the playgrounds, we still have a desire to have a friendship with others outside of our family. Adam and Eve did too. The friend they talked to was God. God was their creator and their best friend.
We would like to encourage you to go find a quiet spot in your house, or under a tree in your backyard, or make a tent with your desk and blanket… and make a special space where you feel safe and can talk to God.
He LOVES you and has soooo much time for you! He wants you to know, you can tell him anything! He will listen. He desires to have friendship with you.
Sometimes, we tell God everything and don’t give him time to talk back… so here’s a tip… sit and listen for a bit! Who knows what he will say back to you! It will be something special!
Memory Verse
For the Parents
We like our children to be inspired, encouraged and lets face it, if it helps them, it helps us! Your children are important to us and they SUPER important to God. We have put together this webpage so your children know that they are important, loved and that we have taken the time to invest in them!
They are VALUEABLE!
We want them to feel: loved, joyful, inspired, excited, and equipped spiritually.
Life is unpredictable, but God is sure and secure, we can always rely on Him.
We want to encourage our families to bring God into the conversations that we are having with our children. How are we feeling? What are we thinking? Can we share what we are thinking with Mum & Dad? We want our children feel safe when they share with us. So how do we do that? We listen and don’t react, but thoughtful process with the Holy Spirit how we can offer wise council to them. Maybe they just need us to listen… God sees us and our children, He wants us to share with Him and feel safe with Him.
PLEASE NOTE: that after watching our video links, youTube will pop up with suggestions for you to watch. We advise, having an adult in the room while your child watches these videos as we don’t know what content might show after our videos.
