You can show you care about others by walking away from a fight

4/19/2021

​Hi Reign Forest Friends,
 
For week three, we head back to Genesis 26:1-6, 12- 22, 26-31. Isaac moved to a region where he reclaimed the wells that had belonged to his father, Abraham. For years no one had cared about the wells until they were reopened, then everyone started fighting over them. Instead of fighting, Isaac decided to give away the wells in order to make peace. Isaac simply walked away from what was rightfully his. And by walking away from the fight, those people changed their opinion about Isaac and decided to trust him.
 
Bottom Line: You can show you care about others by walking away from a fight. Sometimes creating peace with someone means walking away even if we’re not wrong. Often it takes a stronger person to have the self-control to walk away. We pray that kids will learn how they can choose peace when they want to argue and fight.
 
Bible Memory: “So let us do all we can to live in peace. And let us work hard to build each other up” (Romans 14:19, NIRV).
 
Have a great week!
Blessings,
The Reign Forest Team

We can make peace with others

4/14/2021

​This past Sunday, we looked at what Paul wrote in Colossians 3:15: Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful (NIrV). Because Jesus made peace with us, we can turn around and show that same peace to others.
 
Bottom Line: We can make peace with others. When God made peace with us through Jesus, God showed us that peace with others is possible. This doesn’t mean that it will be easy, but peace is worth the effort it takes to make it. We pray that kids will discover the ways they can live at peace with the people in their life.
 
Bible Memory: And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace (Colossians 3:15 NLT).
 
Blessings,

God made peace with us

4/5/2021

​Greetings from the Reign Forest!
 
We kick off the month with something Paul writes about Jesus in Colossians 1:20 and John 20:1-18. On Easter Sunday, we want to make sure that kids know how they can have a relationship with Jesus. Throughout the entire Bible, we see God’s plan to make peace with us. In the second part of the Colossians verse, Paul reminds us that it’s through what Jesus did on the cross that the world can be right with God again.
 
Bottom Line: God made peace with us. God went to great lengths to fix what was wrong between us and Him. When God looked across humanity and saw the brokenness of our relationship with Him, He proved He cared about us by sending Jesus, His only Son, to die— to build a bridge and resolve the conflict that existed. Now, Jesus is alive, and we can have a relationship with God that lasts forever.
 
Bible Memory: Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us (Romans 5:1 NLT).
 
Blessings,
The Reign Forest Team
