Look back: Look back over Hebrews 2:1 and remember close Inspection of God’s word tethers the Christian to the anchor of Christ.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will have a guest preacher, Pastor Carlton Weathers, preaching from Romans 1:16-17. Read and discuss it with your family. 

Ask: Why might someone be ashamed of the gospel?

Pray: Praise God that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

• Younger Preschool: Jesus came into the world to rescue people from their sins. Jesus wants His church to go into the world and tell people about Him. 
• Older Preschool: Just as Jesus came into the world so people might trust in Him and be saved from their sins, Jesus has sent the church to tell others the good news that Jesus saves people from their sins. 
• Kids: Just as Jesus came into the world so that people might come to trust in Him and be saved from their sins, Jesus has sent the church throughout the world to tell others about the salvation that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
