KIDS’ WORSHIP—September 2016
Schooner Island

Kid’s Club Kick Off will be

Wednesday, September 7th

6:30–7:45 p.m.
 

It’s back to school time for our kids! In practice, the goal of our Kids’ Worship Team is to create worship time with kids that is relevant! We strive to help kids bring their praise to God and to open up their hearts and minds to God’s Word so that they can live it INSIDE OUT—24/7! During the month of September, kids will be journeying to Schooner Island where they will DISCOVER how to share their faith. We know that kids can make an IMPACT for Christ. Our goal is to equip them to do just that as they head back to school and reconnect with their friends and teachers.

Moms and dads take a look below at what we will be investigating and take some time to talk with your kids about it! Our key verse for the month is 1 Peter 3:15, “If someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.”

September Series Titles:
“Jesus Sends Out the Disciples” (We boldly tell about Jesus) Mathew 9:35–10:8; 28:19–20.
“Peter and John Before the Council” (We help others know Jesus) Acts 4:–14.
“Run the Race with Endurance” (We live for Jesus) Hebrews 12:1–13.
“Paul Brings Eutychus Back to Life” (God uses us to do amazing things) Acts 20:7–12.

RETURN!

We will be starting a new sermon series this fall from the book of Malachi. The series is titled,
“RETURN,” yet could have been titled “PRIORITIES” just as easily. We are a people who often get our priorities out of step with God. The prophet Malachi addresses that. But why this book for our sermon time?

What is the last thing God said in the Old Testament? God regularly spoke to his people . . .that is, until the great hush. After centuries of dreams, visions, and words through the prophets, the LORD went quiet to the people of Israel, nothing but eerie silence for 400 years. And yet, God’s last words to His people before this time are recorded in the Book of Malachi—and they were not easy words to hear.
Malachi is a book about unfaithful priests and blemished sacrifices, but at its core, it is really about half-hearted religion. It is a story about religious people who were putting on a good show all the while missing the whole point. In Malachi’s time, God’s people had become religious ‘performers’ without the engagement of their hearts. But worshiping God is not about a check list. It is about being passionate for God. It is about giving God better than our leftovers.
Malachi has just as much to say to us now as it did to God’s people nearly 2500 years ago.
Join us as we talk about the importance of moving past empty religion and into fanatical faith.

Ron Otto, Preaching Minister at Lincoln Christian Church
