We'll See You on Wednesday!

The Amazing FamilyQuest Race is THIS WEDNESDAY at 6 p.m. You will not want to miss this awesome time as a family. We'll be racing all over the church building as we get a little glimpse of the Old Testament Heroes we'll be studying this year in #cbcfamilyquest. We are looking forward to another great year of learning!

I just wanted to take a moment and share a brief testimony to encourage some of you who may be on the fence about whether or not to attend FamilyQuest this year. This conversation I had with my son I know is partially a result of 6 1/2 years of attending FamilyQuest and learning, through this program, how to be intentional with and have Gospel-centered conversations with my kiddos. Believe it or not, this Gospel conversation was brought up because my son was playing with Legos. And missing his daddy. And wondering if there would be Legos in Heaven. And musing over what he would build in Heaven if there are Legos. So, if you are not sure about bringing your family to FamilyQuest, at least give it a try. I promise it will well worth your time!

I just had a beautiful conversation with Ethan about salvation that I wish I could have recorded. As he was continuing to talk about what he would make with Lego's in Heaven I told him I was praying that someday he would say yes to making Jesus his Savior. He said he wanted to, but wasn't sure he was doing it right. After some talking, he said he knew his reasons for wanting to be a Christian were wrong because his only reason was that he wants to go to heaven. We talked about the fact that there's part of every person that becomes a Christian that wants to go to heaven, that's a great blessing for those of us who are Christians. We talked through the ABC'S and that when we submit to God as our Savior it's because we know we're sinners and need forgiveness and Jesus' blood is our only forgiveness. So we admit we're sinners, believe that Jesus died for us, His blood washes our sin, and we confess our sins, ask for His forgiveness and ask Him to give us a new heart and make us new creations that love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Then we prayed together that God would make it clear to him what needs to do and that he would hear and know God's voice when He calls. God is good. God is faithful.
