Respect—Week 1

8/7/2017

0 Comments

 
​Hi Reign Forest Friends,

Our theme for the month of August is Respect: Showing others they are important by what you say and do.

God is the all-powerful, Creator of the universe. There is no one else who has the position or power of God. We can’t help but respond to Him with respect.

When it comes to people, everyone is important for two reasons: God made them in His image and Jesus died for them. That’s why respect is also a reflection of the character of Christ in us. When we see people like Jesus sees them, we can show everyone they matter to God.

Today, we looked at Matthew 8:5-13 where we found a Roman Commander. The commander was in charge of his men, who did whatever he told them to do. Yet, when his servant became seriously ill, he realized that he wasn’t in charge anymore. He had no power over his servant’s health. He respected that Jesus had authority to heal his servant and had faith He could do it. Jesus honors the centurion’s faith and heals the servant.

Bottom Line: Show respect to God because He’s in charge of everything. Our respect begins and ends with how we respond to the all-powerful creator of the universe. Our respect for others flows from how we understand God’s power over the world.

Just as a reminder, our memory verse celebration will be on Sunday, August 27. Please let Anita know your child’s prize request by Sun. Aug 20.
​
Have a great week! Enjoy this beautiful weather.
Blessings
The Reign Forest Team
