Now, I ll pick two kids to pick up our offering while the rest of us watch the offering video to find out why we give money to God. Wow. Clint had a HARD time letting go of his work and sitting back, relaxing, and resting. Resting is important to having the strength you need to do what God wants you to do! Let s say our Bible verse about that together! Hebrews 4:11 So let us do our best to enter that rest. Great job! Now, let s play a game with our Small Groups about needing REST! God gives us a lot of examples in the Bible about how to live for Him, but without Jesus, we won t be able to do it. Let your Small Group Leader know if you re ready to ADMIT your sin, BELIEVE Jesus died for you, and CHOOSE to depend on God s power to help you say, No! to sin! That s when God can change you and give you the power to know when you need to REST. When you re rested, you re better able to help others and show them God s love! Then they might want to be part of Jesus family, too!
