Look back: Look back over Hebrews 8:6-13 and remember the Church is made up of people who have been truly regenerated by God, possess an inward knowledge of Him, and is displayed on earth through a local church that practices meaningful membership and appropriate church discipline.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 8:6-13 again. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: What is significant about the old covenant being made obsolete?

Pray: Praise God for Jesus fulfilling all the law's requirements on your behalf so that your sins are forgiven and that you are secured in him forever.

• Babies & Toddlers: We sin, and we deserve to be punished. If we trust in Jesus, God forgives us when we are sorry for our sin.
• Younger Preschool: Achan disobeyed God and was punished. Because we sin, we deserve to be punished. Jesus came to take the punishment for us. God forgives us when we are sorry for our sin and trust in Jesus.
• Older Preschool: Achan disobeyed God and was punished because of his sin. Because we sin, we deserve to be punished. But Jesus came to take our punishment for us. God forgives us when we confess our sin and trust in Jesus.
• Kids: Achan disobeyed the command of God, and his punishment was death. We also deserve the punishment of death for our sin. Jesus, God’s sinless Son, was punished in our place for our sin. Those who trust in Him are forever forgiven of their sin.
