Summary
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:16–17 NLT)
Jesus’ death on the cross gives us access to God again. It’s not just about eternal life with him, though he promises his followers that. Choosing Jesus is also about experiencing a peace that passes all understanding and building a relationship with the father right here and right now.
Jesus took what was broken in our world and made it whole again and he can do the same for us.
So this week let’s pray that our kids will know Jesus as the savior of the world and choose to follow him every day of their lives. Let’s pray they would come to know him as the way, the truth, and the life.
Jesus, thank you for coming to the world and sacrificing yourself for our sins. May __________ come to understand the gift of salvation, accept your grace, and choose to follow you. May they know that they cannot earn your grace, but it is a free gift that comes from the love you have for them. Amen.

| 0:07.0 | Hey friends, so a few years ago, I was at a women's retreat with our church, and I was sitting on the porch, supposed to be being quiet and listening to God. And as ADD would have it, I'm like looking |
| 0:24.8 | around at the hawk that flew by and this girl's outfit two tables over. And I got locked eyes |
| 0:30.8 | on this dad and his son fishing. And I'll never forget it. And I really do feel like God was |
| 0:35.9 | trying to show me something during that. |
| 0:38.2 | But he was fishing with a son. He was standing behind him and helping him. It was probably four or five |
| 0:42.4 | years old. And he was helping guide the reel and show him where to cast it. And they would go again and |
| 0:47.2 | again. And all of a sudden, they got a tug on that fishing line. And so I watched, they were so excited. And so I watched the dad began to like |
| 0:54.7 | reel that in with him. And when it was time for that fish to come out of the water and to reel it |
| 1:00.0 | in and catch his first fish, I imagine it was his first fish that had to be. He let go and stepped |
| 1:05.5 | back and the son pulled it up onto the dock. And they celebrated like that kid had won a gold medal. And I just sat |
| 1:12.5 | there going, what a powerful example of parenting. It was so beautiful to show like, we are in this |
| 1:19.7 | journey with them. We are guiding and we are helping. But ultimately, we want their decision of faith |
| 1:24.6 | and their decisions to be theirs. And that is what it looks like. It |
| 1:28.5 | looked like a dad letting goes. And I'm guiding you, I'm getting you as close as I can. But at the |
| 1:33.1 | end of the day, you are catching that fish. And it was so powerful. I've never forgotten. And so as we |
| 1:38.7 | think about Jesus, our Savior this week. And again, I talked about it last week with God, our Father, and we're definitely going to talk about it next week with, as we talk about the Holy Spirit. Like, we don't need to |
| 1:48.5 | get so wrapped up into these nuances and think that we are just screwing it up because we didn't |
| 1:53.3 | use the accurate word of, you know, it is a triune God. It is one God, but there's three distinct |
| 1:58.9 | personalities and figures that come under that. |
| 2:01.4 | So don't get all tied up in that. |
