8-15-10: Lesson 2 - Build your life on Jesus
Sermon Theme: Build your life on Jesus
Bible Verse: There is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 3:11
Bible Story: Matthew 7:24-27
Build your life on Jesus by:
1) By knowing his word
2) Trusting Him
3) Doing what the word tells you to do
We need to build our foundation on Jesus Christ. We need to know his word, trust him, obey him because it is the best way for us to live. In the book of Matthew, Jesus was teaching the crowds about God, His Kingdom and how they
should live. He told them how to build their lives on a solid foundation. Jesus said, “Anyone who hears my words and obeys them is like a wise carpenter who built his house on the rock.” Life got hard for the wise man. Rain poured down,
the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. Jesus went on to say, “Anyone who hears my words but does not obey them is like a foolish carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards. The man who built his life on the solid foundation had to do two things. He had to hear God’s words and he also had to obey God’s word. You do not build your life on Jesus by hearing His Word and ignoring it. You build your life on Jesus by hearing His Word and obeying it.

8-8-10: Lesson 1 - God made you for a reason
Sermon Theme: God made you for a reason
Bible Verse: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. –Genesis 1:1
Bible Story: Genesis 1
God made you for a reason:
1) He made you in his image
2) He made you to know him
3) He made you for a purpose
Nothing was made by accident. God made everything for a reason and it took him 6 days to make everything. The 6th day we learn that God made all of the animals on the land.
His creation was people: you and me. Of everything God made, he said that we are his “treasured possession.” God made each of us for a reason. The first person God made was Adam and God made Adam for a purpose; that purpose for Adam was to love God and to be loved by God. God wanted to have a personal relationship with Adam. He wanted Adam to know him. Just like God wanted Adam to know him, he wants you to know him. Long before he made the Earth, God decided that you would be focus of his love. You are not an accident. God knew you before your birth and he know you by name. when he made you, He made something great out of nothing. God made you for a reason.

Lesson 52: Beyond Imagination
Sermon Theme: Heaven is our future home
Bible Verse: There are many rooms in my Father's house. I am going to prepare a place for each of you. John 14:2
Bible Story:
Jesus said He has gone ahead to prepare a special place for each of us. This world is just a temporary living space, where we can serve Him with all our hearts and get ready for the best that's yet to come! This week, you have a great opportunity to make heaven very real to your kids. You can share what heaven looks like and what it feels like. From discussing streets of gold to gates of pearl, you'll find that many of your kids will be instantly riveted. Then take the lesson a step further and share about how there will be no more death, suffering, crying or pain. Let your kids know that not only will they see loved ones who have passed away, but they will also experience life like never before, vibrant and constant -for eternity.
One of kids' greatest fears is the fear of death, both for themselves and for loved ones. Be sensitive to their concerns and assure them that death has no hold over them because Jesus won the battle over sin and death when He died on the cross and rose again.
All the things that make us hurt or sad will be gone, and we'll get to see Jesus face to face.

PIF Kids Lock in
We had an awesome time at our first ever PIF Kids Lock In
All the kids had a blast! They learned about Loving God and Loving others. God's greatest commandments. Our Key verse for the Lock in was:
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ - Matthew 22:37-39
We continue to pray that the Kids would love God and love others.
We had a great time doing different activities together such as bowling, swimming, doing puzzles together.
During the last service, I ask the kids to talk to someone that they don't know. It was good to see them walk around and sat down to get to know each other. Hopefully this will get them to love each other and feel like they are part of one family in Christ.
Enjoy the pictures!
