Read (or listen) to the Bible reading for today and then have a chat with an adult about these questions:

• Who made the rules that Jesus broke (hint: Exodus and Deuteronomy)
• Why did the man in charge of the meeting place get upset?
• Why do you think Jesus broke the rules?
• What are some "rules" that we, as Christians, need to break?
• What is one thing you can do this week which will make you stand out for Jesus?

This week's Bible craft is colouring:

• Kids colouring pages
• Adult colouring pages

​

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all the great things that you have put in this world for us.
Please give us the courage to stand out for Jesus and to follow His ways and to be an example of what it means to love you with our whole heart, mind and soul.
Please help us to know and do what is right in your eyes, rather than what is popular in the eyes of the world.
In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Listen to or read Matthew 7:24-27 and then have a chat to an adult about these questions:

• What happened to each of the builder's houses when the storm and floods came?
• Is Jesus really talking about building houses? What do you think he is really referring to (hint: it begins with F and has 5 letters).
• What (or who) is the foundation we need for our faith?
• How can we build a strong foundation for our faith?
• You can strengthen your faith by reading the bible every day. You can use this Plan to help you get started - just click on the PDF file below.   

• By Yourself - Try these popsicle stick paintings
• With an Adult - Make a popsicle stick house - will you be a wise or foolish builder?
• With your Family or a Friend - Try making fun popsicle stick figures, bridges and explosions!

Dear God,
Thank you for the message of the wise and foolish builders.
Please be our foundation that we will build our lives on.
Please help give us a strong faith so we can stand up to hard times just like a house
​built on solid ground does.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
