Romans 10

Discuss

Think about all the people you encounter in a week. Maybe you see your teacher, bus driver, coach, grocery store clerk, doctor, friends, and your family. You have so many relationships with people, and you’ll continue forming new relationships as you grow. Why does God bring so many people into our lives? 
 
What if the answer to that question is so you can help them know and grow closer to Jesus Christ? Every follower of Jesus has been given a mission to share the good news of the gospel with those God places in our lives. When we know Jesus as Lord, every relationship becomes an opportunity to share Jesus in hopes they will believe in Him as Savior and Lord. 
 
In his letter to the Romans, Paul said that for people to hear the good news someone must share it. Jesus has given His followers the privilege of telling the world about His amazing love and inviting them to believe in Him. Everyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved. We are called to tell others about Jesus! 
 
Just as Jesus came into the world so that people might come to trust in Him and be saved from their sins, Jesus has sent the church throughout the world to tell others about the salvation that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
What are some reasons why someone might not know about Jesus?
What are some ways you can tell them about Jesus?
How can you express thankfulness for those who help you learn about Jesus?

Act

For Fun
Take a family walk through your neighborhood or in a local park. Discuss ways or methods you’ve learned to share the gospel with others. Talk with kids about how they might respond if the Holy Spirit leads them to use words and actions to help others learn about Jesus.

To Serve
Make a list of family, friends, or acquaintances who need to hear about Jesus. Talk about ways your family can use these relationships to help them learn more about Jesus. Ask God to give you opportunities to tell them about Jesus. Pray that each person would respond by believing in Jesus. 

Resource of the month

Our recommended resource this month is "The Ology" by Marty Machowski.

"The Ology by best-selling children's author Marty Machowski is a stunningly illustrated beginner's theology book to help kids of all ages understand who God is and how we, as his children, relate to him.Arranged within a traditional systematic theological framework, each truth in The Ology is also connected to the larger redemptive story of Scripture. This storybook of systematic theology takes abstract concepts in the Bible and makes them easier to understand with the use of creative examples, illustrations, and analogies."
