FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

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

• Babies & Toddlers: Believers are part of one church.
• Younger Preschool: Paul told the believers in the church to come together. Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what He has done, believers can come together as one church.
• Older Preschool: Paul told the believers in the church to come together because of the gospel. Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what He has done, believers can come together as one church.
• Kids: Paul told the believers in the Corinthian church to come together because of the gospel. He reminded them that Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what He has done, believers from every nation, tribe, people, and language can humbly come together as one body—the church.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION & ANSWER

This is an important biblical truth that your child will encounter each week of this unit. 

• Younger Preschool: Who is the church? The church is all Christians around the world.
• Older Preschool: What is the church? The church is all Christians everywhere.

KEY PASSAGE

This is a Bible verse that relates to what your child will encounter each week of this unit. 

• Babies & Toddlers: The church has many people who help. 1 Corinthians 12:12
