Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

Good Morning Everyone!

Yesterday in the Reign Forest we talked about the 3rd piece of Armor that God gives us to use to fight against our enemy Satan.  It is the Shoes of the Gospel of Peace.  When we have our Peace shoes on we are ready to show with our actions and not just talk about the way that God wants us to live.  We will be kind and ready to share the love of Jesus.  We talked about doing our ABC’s first.  We need to do this before we can wear our peace shoes.  A – Admit that we do wrong and that we need someone to take away the wrong things we have done.  B – believe that Jesus loves me so much that he died for me to take away my sins.  C- Choose to ask Jesus to take away my sins and choose to follow Him.

Yesterday the service was somewhat shorter than expected, so I’m sorry if your child was not able to complete all of their crafts.  We try to be flexible and go with the flow of the service upstairs.  I apologize for the fact that our timing was too short for all the kids to complete everything planned.

In the rush of things I also missed giving your children a written copy of the verse for this week. 

It is as follows:  Ephesians 6:13  Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil.  Then after the battle you will be standing firm.  (NLT)

Keep having your children review the verses they have learned in Ephesians as a whole passage.  It would be incredible if they could recite the passage Ephesians 6:10 – 18 as a whole.  There is so much power in the word of God and how great it would be for this passage to be in the minds of our children as they grow up.

Have a wonderful week! May God bless you all as you continue to faithfully serve Him!
