Devotions – The Great Commission Starts at Home
Hands-on Faith for Families – week of March 9, 2020
Theme: Be God’s Light in the World
The Great Commission Starts at Home
Scripture: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
Play: Play a game of telephone: Whisper a sentence about Jesus, and let the last person proclaim it loudly. Play the game a few times using different messages and taking turns “proclaiming” the Good News.
Talk: The message of Jesus’ love and forgiveness is the most important message of all. Jesus wants the whole world to know it. In Matthew 28:19, He told His disciples to share the Good News with everyone. That’s called the Great Commission. How can we share God’s message of love and forgiveness with others?
Pray: Ask God to help you proclaim boldly what He has taught you in His Word.
