HomeFront Weekly is designed for you to use during the week with your son or daughter. You’ll find out what they learned today at church and can help them prepare for next week by exploring the theme (or Ponder Point) and spending time together in God’s Word.
WHAT WE LEARNED THIS WEEK PONDER POINT: GOD IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP, PART 1 Psalms Psalm 27:6; 30:11; 95:2; 98:4; 108:1; 149:3 God is holy, and only He is worthy of worship. There are many reasons to worship Him! Today we looked into the book of Psalms to see the various ways we can worship God.
WHERE WE’RE HEADED NEXT TIME PONDER POINT: GOD IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP, PART 2 Solomon 1 Chronicles 28 David presents Solomon with God’s plans to rebuild the temple.
DID YOU KNOW?
Lesson 2.10
CONNECT AS A FAMILY Have your kids gather several of their favorite possessions. Read 1 Chronicles 28:1–3, 9, and 16–20. After reading, take a few minutes to examine their things. Tell them that just as these things are very important to them, David and the Israelites sacrificed valuable things for the temple. Ask them to imagine what it might feel like if God asked them to give Him their most valuable possessions. How would they respond? After reading the Scripture passage, discuss these questions together: • What was Solomon going to build? • What kinds of things did David and the people offer? • How do you think Solomon felt about the job God gave him? These questions can easily extend into the rest of the week. Look for opportunities to bring conversations about how God Is Worthy of Worship into your everyday life as a family.
REMEMBER VERSE The Remember Verse focuses on a character trait of God that’s highlighted in next week’s portion of The Big God Story.
Share these facts to get the conversation started. • After the Israelites settled in the Promised Land, it became necessary for them to set up a permanent location for their worship of God. • David gathered the materials and organized the project, but it was his son, Solomon, who completed the building of the temple. • Though Solomon was young and inexperienced, the Lord set him up to win as long as he remained “unswerving in carrying out my commands and laws” (28:7).
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Psalm 143:10
BLESSING Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide. A blessing to pray over your child: (Child’s name), may you know God created you and will always be with you. He is worthy of worship!
