CHILDREN’S CHURCH MESSAGE: Jesus Returns to Heaven 05/03/2020

Hello everyone! I’m glad you logged in today to join me because we’re here to worship God today. Today we worship because God helps us tell others about Jesus. God wants us to tell the whole world about his son, Jesus. And God always helps us do the things he asks us to do.
• Why do we want to tell others about Jesus?
(so they can know about God; so they can know Jesus died so their sins can be forgiven)
Jesus has saved us, and we want the rest of the world to have salvation too. Jesus saved us by grace through faith.
Check out Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Jesus has saved us by grace through faith. That’s great news! Jesus was born, died for our sins, and came back to life. We can thank Jesus by following him.
Since Jesus saved us, we want to tell others about Jesus, too. God will always help us let our lights shine so others can see Jesus.
? Sing “This Little Light of Mine”
• What is one way God will help us tell everybody about Jesus?
(God helps us not be afraid to talk to people; God helps us know what to say)
One way God helps as tell others is by changing our lives. As we see God doing things for people and changing their lives, we feel encouraged to tell everybody. Talk to someone in the room with you, and tell him or her ine way that Jesus has changed your life. For example I would say that Jesus has given me joy.
Sometimes sharing Jesus with with others is as easy as just living for Jesus each day! Because Jesus has changed your life, others will see how you are living your life differently. And that’s radical! We need to live our lives radically for Jesus!
God wants everyone in the world to know Jesus. He wants everyone to be saved. God saved us, and not because of the good things we do, but because of his mercy. Jesus saved us because he loves us. And Jesus wants us to share his love with everyone.
? Thank you, God, for saving us. Thank you, God, for helping us tell people about Jesus. We worship you for caring about people enough to help us share Jesus with them.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
