KIDS WORSHIP —August 2019


Relationships can be hard! Especially with that one kid you share a bedroom with. . . . During August we will be
looking at sibling relationships throughout the Bible and how we can let go of our anger and jealousy in order to better connect with one another and, ultimately, with God. Our key verse this month is John 15:12:“Love each other.”

If you would like to review this month’s series with your child, here are the the titles, texts and themes:
Cain Kills His Brother in Anger. Genesis 4:2–16. We show God’s love by controlling anger.
Joseph Steals His Brother’s Blessing. Genesis 27:1–45. We show God’s love by being honest.
Joseph Is Sold Into Slavery. Genesis 37:3–36. We show God’s love by encouraging each other.
Story of the Lost Son. Luke 15:11–32. We show God’s love by forgiving each other.
