To The Depths Week 2

When Trouble Comes I Will Praise Him

Our Main Point this past Sunday was "When Trouble Comes I Will Praise God". Your Child learned that in difficult times they should praise God instead of "Grumbling".

Today's Bible story was biased on the James 1:24 and Acts 16: 16-40. You should try to read this with your child(ren) at the first of the week and then you can spend the week helping them understand the importance of praising God during trouble.

The memory verse we used was James 1:2.

Here is an idea to help your family understand this point, we'll call it the "Grumble Bucket". Set up two buckets in a predominate place in your house, like the kitchen. Label one bucket "Praises" and the other "Grumble". When someone "Grumbles" about something they have to put a small amount in the "Grumble" bucket. When a person praises God during a tough time the get a piece of candy out of the "Praise" bucket. At the end of the week, take the money out of the "Grumble" bucket and use it to replace the candy on the "Praise" bucket. Have fun teaching your children about the difference between "Grumbling" and "Praising" God during tough times.
