This Is Us! (Week One)Sample

Welcome to our Daily Devotional for our new series This Is Us - During this series we are going to journey through our Freedom Church DNA.  Some of you may know that DNA is like the secret code inside you - the thing that makes you, well, you!  You may also know that God created us in His image and wants us to live our best life.

This week we are looking at our Freedom DNA - First and Best and Live Full Die Empty.

Let's start with First and Best and how Boy King Josiah loved God and wanted to live his best life with God. 

First and best

We will serve God and our church with all that we have, giving sacrificially to the one who gave us everything. We won’t just go through the motions or do the minimum. The best of our talents, time and resources will be used for the Kingdom. 

READ:

‘Boy King Josiah’ in the Beginners Bible (pages 235 - 239) or in 2 Kings 22

Josiah was very young when he became King - just 8 years old! 

Josiah loved God and trusted God.  Becoming King is a big responsibility, but God was with Josiah! 

He led his people back to God!   Boy King Josiah wanted to give his First and Best to God. 

ASK:

Do you love God?   

Do you want to give God your First and Best?  

Can you think of some ways you do that? Chat about this with your grown up. 

REMEMBER:

So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female (Genesis 1:27)

SAY:

God created me, 

Magnificent you can see. 

Every cell and part, 

Were designed in His heart. 

From the beginning of creation,

Every clan, tribe and nation. 

Made in His image, 

With purpose, love and to encourage. 

Whatever come what may, 

This is my DNA!
