FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

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

• Babies & Toddlers: Jesus died for our sins. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives us, and we will live with Him forever.
• Younger Preschool: Jesus came to take the punishment we deserve for our sins. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives us, and we will live with Him forever.
• Older Preschool: Ahab disobeyed God and was punished. We deserve punishment for our sin, but when we trust in Jesus, God does not give us the punishment our sins.
• Kids: Ahab was a disobedient, greedy, and stubborn king who refused to lead Israel in the ways of the Lord. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, always obeyed God and laid down His life for us. Anyone who follows Him will dwell with God forever.
