Look back: Look back over Hebrews 1:1-4 and remember the Son is king, eternal God, and judge, and is therefore superior to angels.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will continue in Hebrews 1. Read and discuss it with your family.

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

 

CHRIST CONNECTION

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

  • Babies & Toddlers: The good news about Jesus must be shared with others. 
  • Younger Preschool: Peter told people about Jesus even when it was hard. The good news about Jesus is so great that everyone who trusts in Jesus must share it with others. 
  • Older Preschool: Peter kept preaching about Jesus even when it was hard. Not even the religious leaders could stop Jesus’ followers from sharing the good news about Jesus. The gospel is great news that we must share if we believe in Jesus. 
  • Kids: Peter continued to preach about Jesus even when it was difficult. Not even the religious leaders could stop Jesus’ followers from sharing the good news about Jesus. The gospel is great news that we must share if we believe in Jesus Christ.
