FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

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

  • Babies & Toddlers: When we look to Jesus and trust in Him, we are saved from our sin.
  • Younger Preschool: When God's people looked at the bronze snake, they were healed. When we look to Jesus and trust in Him, we are saved from our sin.
  • Older Preschool: When the Israelites looked at the bronze snake, they were healed. When we look to Jesus and trust in Him, we will be saved from our sin.
  • Kids: Like the Israelites, we sin when we complain and do not trust God. The Israelites faced death for their sin, but when they looked to the bronze snake they were healed. The consequence for our sin is also death, but when we look to Jesus and trust in Him, we will be saved.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION & ANSWER

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