Wow, Super Bowl Sunday was awesome. It was pretty cool seeing all the kids representing their favorite sports and teams. We challenged them to be spiritual champions with our text from Romans 8:31 – 39. We discussed how God can help us overcome any challenge. We would encourage you to talk about the lesson with your kids and help them see areas where they need to rely on God to help them overcome. Remember find ways to connect with your children spiritually. It could be through worship, prayer, and Bible discussion. Lead them well.

Weekly Challenge
Who is speaking life into your children? The Bible tells us our words can be as sharp as a two-edge sword, but also can be a life giver. You see when we speak words of affirmation, love, and encouragement we are speaking life into our children. Yes we have to rebuke and discipline our kids, please do this, BUT we should also be speaking into their hearts words of love and encouragement.
Simple phrases like “You are wonderfully made”. Ask them if they know who created them? GOD did! Remind them that God has created them for a purpose and God doesn’t make mistakes.
We want to challenge you this week to be intentional and speak LIFE into your children. Make it point to sit them down and remind them how amazing and awesome they are. The gifts they have are from God. They are a gift from God.
Parenting can be hard, but with God we can do it the right way. Keep up the great work in bringing up the next generation of spiritual champions.
In Christ,
Paul and Andy
