This Is Us (Week Four) Sample

Day Four 

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 –  Raise the Next and Heart and Soul.  Let's now look at Heart and Soul, looking at how Jesus taught the disciples that being like children will help them to keep God’s Kingdom at the centre of their lives. 

Heart and Soul

We take personal responsibility for the vision and unity of our church. We are committed to making God’s Kingdom the central cause of our lives, no matter the cost. 

READ:

‘Jesus and the Children’ in the Beginners Bible (pages 409 - 412) or in Matthew 19, Mark 10 and Luke 18

Jesus told the disciples to let the children come to Him – Jesus wants us all to come to Him. 

When we love someone we want to spend time with them, and Jesus loves you very much! 

ASK:

What are some of the things that stop you going to Jesus?   Chat to your grownup about this, and pray together today that these things would no longer stop you. 

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!
