A Time to Rejoice & Remember:                Advent, December 20th

12/20/2016

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 celebrate the Greatest Gift of all.

Ornament: A Fiery Furnace (Reminder of the presence of God with us!)
Scripture Reading: Daniel 3: 19-29 & Jeremiah 1:8
Songs: Lord Jesus I Love Thee, O Come All Ye Faithful

    Remember when we talked about King Josiah, who found the scroll? He was the last king of Israel who loved God. Soon, the people of Israel were conquered and went to Babylon as prisoners.

      There were some very brave young men who were taken away into Babylon. Daniel was one of them.  There were also three men named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  They were so brave that when an evil king told them to do something wrong, they wouldn’t.

    Now, we all know that we must say no if someone tries to get us to do something wrong.  Imagine, though, if it were the king of the whole country that had just made you a prisoner?  How difficult to say, “No” then!

    That wicked king had made a large statue – an idol – and he told all the people that they had to worship it- bow down to it- or be thrown in a fiery furnace. When the trumpets blew, everyone bowed down…everyone except Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Guess what happened?  That king had them thrown right into the furnace.

    Do you think God was with them even though they were prisoners? Do you think He was with them, even though they were in a foreign country? Yes, He was!  That fire did no harm to them at all. The king even began to praise God!  God’s plan was still working!

Questions:  
  • What did the king tell the men to do?
  • What happened because they obeyed God instead of the king?
 
Prayer: Lord, we are sometimes tempted to do things we know aren’t right. Please make us strong and brave like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! Help us say YES to You, and No to sin! Amen.

Blessings as you celebrate Christmas,
Cara & Patti
