This week in Community Kids, we transition from studying God’s perfect creation to its quick ruin. Adam and Eve, people who were made in God’s image, rebelled against God, bringing sin and death into the world. Their lives and their children’s lives—and the lives of all of humanity—would be forever affected by their choice. We see this in the world around us. We experience God’s grace, but we are very aware that the world is broken. It was not meant to be this way.
Sin is a big problem that needs a big solution. But God did not leave people to remain dead in sin. At just the right time, He provided the solution for sin: His son, Jesus Christ. As your kids become increasingly aware of the bad news—that we are all sinners from birth—rejoice with them over the good news: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15).
Each unit in The Gospel Project focuses on a Big Picture Question that is designed to help kids understand essential theological doctrines of the Christian faith. For this unit, the Big Picture Q&A is: What does it mean to sin? To sin is to think, speak, or behave in any way that goes against God and His commands.
We will also be learning this Memory Verse from Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
As we partner with families in discipleship, we want to encourage you with resources that are designed to reinforce the Biblical truths taught and engage Christ-centered conversations at home. Just as Deuteronomy 6:7 reminds us, "Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
