Growing up in an old-school Pentecostal church it wasn’t uncommon to hear about the Jewish feasts on Sunday morning. I knew a number of Christians who enjoyed learning about and partaking of them. However, I had concluded that those feasts shared their fate with the Jewish dietary laws; they were unimportant and irrelevant. Over time though, I have begun to see the true value of these feasts ...
If we give our children a taste of ministry from a young age, it might open their eyes to the call of God on their life and lead to a lifetime of ministry.
You can host a Called Kids Takeover on any day of the year, but we thought it would be pretty cool if there was one Sunday when children across the nation were engaged in doing ministry in the local church in ways they hadn’t done before.
Teaching kids can be really hard! That is exactly why I was relieved when God showed me that the Holy Spirit is the Teacher! No matter how great our illustrations or object lessons, I’ve learned that the most we can do is to convince a child’s mind of something. However, the Holy Spirit is a much more convincing teacher. He can take head knowledge and use it to transform a child’s heart and life. When He speaks, He is hard to resist!
We have greater access and literacy than ever before, so why do we have trouble engaging with Scripture and producing life altering changes?
