​Hello Reign Forest Friends,

We hope everyone enjoyed their Sunday at home yesterday with God's beautiful winter wonderland He created!

Week 3 -The Wise and Foolish Builders
We’re staying in The Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus wraps up his teaching with the story of the Wise and Foolish Builders. Anyone who hears Jesus’ words and actually DOES them is like a
wise man who built his house on a solid foundation of rock. When a wild storm whipped up, that house stood strong. But people who hear Jesus’ words and don’t follow through are just
like a foolish man who slaps together a home on the sand—one that collapses when the wind comes. Truly hearing from God means putting what you hear into action. Kids can be confident
that God does speak to them because, as we read in John 10:27- 28, Jesus is the good shepherd and we are His sheep. And a sheep KNOWS the shepherd’s voice.
Bottom Line: Practice hearing from God.
MEMORY VERSE: Letter I: If  you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it
to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. James 1:5 NLT

Attached below is the take home paper for this week.
Thanks,

​Hi Reign Forest Friends,
We started off the month meeting Jesus as a 12-year-old. As usual, Jesus traveled with his family to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. But on the way home, NOT as usual, Mary and Joseph discovered that Jesus was missing! They raced back to Jerusalem and, at last, discovered Jesus in the Temple, talking with the teachers and asking questions. Everyone was amazed at His understanding. And here’s a little Easter egg for you: after Jesus went home with His parents, we read in Luke 2:52 that “Jesus became wiser and stronger. He also became more and more pleasing to God and to people.”
Bottom Line: Practice talking about God.
There is no Bible Memory Verse this week. We will start our Bible Memory Challenge again this coming Sunday with letter H.
Blessings,
The RF Team
