If interested in serving in this worthwhile ministry, call Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
Grace Kids
Over the past three weeks, our Grace Kids have been taught about the events that happened during Jesus’ last week before the crucifixion. First, he was anointed with oil by Mary. Then, they learned about the last meal Jesus had with his disciples. Only Jesus could fulfill the old covenant and begin the new covenant. Lastly, we taught about Jesus being arrested even though he did nothing wrong. We read that even though it was hard, and all his friends left him, Jesus still chose to follow God’s plan to bring salvation into the world.
This Sunday, we’ll continue teaching that Jesus came to earth and lived a perfect life so that he could be the perfect sacrifice that our sin requires. Using Hebrews 7, our kids will be taught that Jesus is the perfect Priest, the High Priest who interceded on behalf of the people by laying down his life to be a once and for-all sacrifice for sin.
Please pray for our kids to find complete forgiveness and victory in the war against sin and death through Christ alone and to understand that without his work on our behalf, we would remain condemned by the law.
