From Sunday School Septemer 22: 

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

STORY POINT

This is the main point to emphasize from today’s Bible story.

• Preschool: God is right to punish sin.
• Kids: God is right to judge sin.

CHRIST CONNECTION

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

• Babies & Toddlers: God sent Jesus to rescue people from sin.
• Younger Preschool: God must punish sin, but God is loving. He rescued Noah and his family. God planned an even greater rescue: to send His Son, Jesus, to save people from their sins.
• Older Preschool: God is serious about sin. He will not leave sin unpunished. But God is loving. He rescued Noah and his family. God had a plan for an even greater rescue through His Son, Jesus. When we trust in Jesus, we are saved from the punishment our sin deserves.
• Kids: God rescued Noah and his family from the flood. The story of Noah points to an even greater rescue. God’s Son, Jesus came to take the punishment for our sin. By trusting in Him, we are saved from the power of sin and death.
