Look back: Look back over Hebrews 7:15-17 and remember Jesus’ eternal priesthood, established through His resurrection, surpasses the Levitical system and fulfills God’s promise of a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 7:18-19.  Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: Why is our hope in Christ better?

Pray: Praise God for his great and precious promises.

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

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

• Babies & Toddlers: When we trust and believe in Jesus, we are given the Holy Spirit, who is always with us.
• Younger Preschool: God wanted to be with His people, and He met with them in the tabernacle. Today when we trust in Jesus, God gives us His Holy Spirit to always be with us.
• Older Preschool: God told Moses to build the tabernacle so He could be with His people. We do not need a tabernacle, because when we trust and believe in Jesus, we are given the Holy Spirit, who is always with us.
• Kids: God told Moses and the people to build the tabernacle so that He could dwell among them. We no longer need a tabernacle because those who trust in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection have been given the Holy Spirit so that God lives in us, not merely near us.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION & ANSWER

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

• Younger Preschool: Why do we need to be saved? We are sinful and need Jesus to rescue us from sin.
• Older Preschool: Why do we need to be saved? We are sinful and need Jesus to rescue us from sin.
• Kids: Why do we need to be saved? People are sinful and cannot save themselves.

KEY PASSAGE

• Older Preschool: There is no one holy like the Lord. There is no one besides you! 1 Samuel 2:2
