A Time to Rejoice & Remember:                Advent, December 12th

12/12/2016

0 Comments

 
     We invite you and your family to join us for advent this season, as we consider Christmas through the lens of Scripture. As we celebrate the birth of the Christchild, we will look as a different aspect of his coming each day. Each day also has a downloadable coloring picture for children to color as they listen, and then hang on the tree as a reminder! We also suggest a song to listen to, play, or sing along with. Most of these can be found in a hymnal to play at home, or on youtube.com - to sing along with! Children old enough to read might enjoy reading the Scripture as well. We hope this simple journey through Scripture helps you and your family to focus on Christ this season - He truly is The Greatest Gift.

Ornament: A Scroll  – (To remind us of when Josiah found the law!)
Scripture Reading: II Kings 23:1-3; Psalm 119:105
Songs:
The B-I-B-L-E  &  Joy to the World

       Psalm 119:105 says the Bible – God’s Word – is like a light for our path. That is an interesting thought, isn't it? The Bible is like a light that keeps us on the right path! Just like it would be hard to walk on a forest path without a flashlight or lantern to light the way, it is so much more difficult to walk through our lives without God's Word to show us how to live. God’s Word is so important to us. Can you imagine if we didn’t have it at all? How would we get to know God?

    Well, that was just what happened to a descendant of King David’s – King Josiah.  Now, Josiah was only eight years old when he became king. That's why he is sometimes called "The Boy King." His father and his grandfather had been very wicked kings, and the people of Israel had stopped following God. In fact, Israel had completely forgotten God. They didn’t love God; they didn’t worship Him. They had started worshipping idols instead.

    King Josiah wanted to serve and worship God. He decided to send some men over to the temple to clean it up, so the people of Israel could worship God there again. While the men were cleaning up – guess what they found? An old scroll – part of the Bible!

    Their Bible had been lost a long time. When King Josiah opened the scroll, he realized that they should not have been worshipping idols all this time! He stood in front of everyone, and read the Word of God to them. The people were very sorry for their sins and turned back to worship God once again!

    King Josiah brought God’s people back to Him…but he still couldn’t save them from sin.  One of his descendants would come someday to do that – Jesus!

  Questions:  
  • What important thing was found when King Josiah had the temple cleaned? (an old scroll which was part of the Bible)
  • Why does God want us to read His Word? (To know Him better)

Prayer:
Dear Father God, thank You for Your Word that helps us to know you better. Help us understand and obey You through Your word.  In Jesus’ name, amen. 

Blessings,
Cara & Patti
