Bible Teaching
“Christians Help Each Other Grow” - JC Gueco
Prayer Time
Only Christians can be built up unto Christlikeness, and so a person must repent and trust in Him in order to be conformed into His image through the church. Christians must be engaged in mutual edification as an act of worship unto the Lord.
Parents, please pray with your child in light of the truths they’ve just learned from the main teaching time. Have your children think about what this lesson says about God and one way they can apply this lesson to their lives. Encourage your child to pray for these things along with you.
