Grace Kids
This Sunday, we’ll be teaching our kids from Nehemiah 1-7. They’ll learn that Nehemiah showed godly grief when he prayed to God. His sorrow over his own sin and the sin of his people caused him to seek repentance. He recognized that the destruction of Jerusalem was because God’s people had sinned. Nehemiah’s godly grief and repentance led him to right action. He trusted God’s Word and remembered God’s promises. Nehemiah believed that one day God would dwell with his people. Because of his faith in God, he obediently acted to rebuild Jerusalem’s wall.
Nehemiah led the people to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem to protect them from their enemies. Pray for our kids to come to connect that Jesus came to protect us from our greatest enemies, sin and death. He died on the cross and rose again from the dead to rescue everyone who trusts in him.
