City Kids Parent Take-Home
Numbers 27, 36
Big truth: God wants all His people to know all His blessing – nobody is left out.
Christ connection: Jesus’ kingdom is for girls and boys!
Faith Response: Children who delight in being lovingly created by God as girls and boys.
Memory verse: Colossians 1:13-14 (NIV)
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Dinner-table questions
- How did the daughters of Zelophehad show faith in today’s story?
They believed that God’s promises to give His people a land were for them too. Nobody was left out of God’s blessing. - Jesus came to bring an even better “promised land” – living with God forever in the new earth and heavens. Who is Jesus’ kingdom for?
Everyone and anyone who trusts him – girls and boys, kids and grown ups, people from all over the world! - Sometimes we can think that boys are better or that girls are better, but God’s good plan was to create girls and boys, and to have girls and boys in His kingdom. How does this help you when you think about yourself and you think about others?
Discuss!
Family activity: church history
Borrow one of the ‘Do Great Things for God’ autobiographies from the City Kids library. Read about how God specially created and used one of these women. Everyone (girls and boys) can learn from their example of faith!
