This resource is designed to allow your family to have time in God’s Word BEFORE your children attend church. Because God’s plan is for parents to be the primary spiritual nurturers of their children’s faith, we want YOU to be the one to introduce this part of The Big God Story to them. For additional support in spiritual parenting and to learn more about creating transforming environments in your home, be sure to pick up HomeFront: A Spiritual Parenting Resource from your church or access the app for your iPhone, iPad, or Android devices.
1.13 REMEMBER & CELEBRATE
• There are seven festivals that were celebrated by the Israelite people: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Festival of First Fruits, Feast of Harvest, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths). • During the feasts, the Israelites ate, danced, sang, played instruments, prayed, and offered sacrifices to God. • The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a celebration of God’s miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt, and ultimately His deliverance from our bondage of sin.
Your child can identify right and wrong choices but may, at times, still need reminders to choose the right path. Help reinforce her right choices by celebrating the positive decisions she makes.
Teachable Moments After reading the passage, discuss the following together: • Who does the Bible say has sinned? • What does the word “redeemer” mean? • What are some ways you can show you’re thankful that your sins have been forgiven?
