K-12 Ministry

As you may have heard, there was a fire in the building this morning. A controlled fire. The video above is actually a slow motion replay of what your kids witnessed.

Here's what I hoped they learned...We had the kids write on two separate sheets of paper. On yellow paper we wrote the stuff that Jesus wants us to do, and on the white paper we wrote stuff that he did not want us to do. Then we put all of the paper into one container.

I had let the kids know that we were going to be burning something this morning and they correctly assumed we would burn the sheets of paper that contained 'sins'. But when we put all of the paper into one container, we had a problem, how were we going to get rid of the bad stuff without getting rid of the good stuff? The answer is of course that with God all things are possible and he can remove the sins from our lives, while keeping the things that please him.

I had a great time this morning, and I hope your kids did too, but mostly I hope that they remember the reason for the fire.
