Holy Father, there is nothing we have that You have not given us. All we have and all we are belong to You, bought with the blood of Jesus. To spend selfishly and to give without sacrifice is the way of the world, but generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord. So, help us to increase in generosity until it can be said that there is no needy person among us. Help us to be trustworthy with such a little thing as money that You may trust us with true riches. Above all, help us to be generous because You, Father, are generous. May we show what You are like to all the world.

1 John 2:18-29

Children, it is the last hour. And as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. By this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the one who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; he who confesses the Son has the Father as well. What you have heard from the beginning is to remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life. I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need anyone to teach you. Instead, his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is not a lie; just as it has taught you, remain in him. So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you know this as well: Everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

Worship from Home with Kids

Parents, we know that "Church at Home" often feels more like a circus than a service. If the kids are wiggly or the internet lags, don't stress. God is just as present on your sofa as He is in the worship center. By prioritizing worship today, you are showing your children that our faith isn't tied to a building—it’s a lifestyle that we carry with us, even in the middle of a storm.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:20

Here are some practical tips and encouragement

  • Create a "Sacred Space": Clear the coffee table, silence the phones, and maybe even light a candle. Creating a visual difference between "TV time" and "Worship time" helps everyone focus.
  • Keep the Rituals: Encourage everyone to participate, even in your pajamas. Stand up during the songs, open your physical Bibles, and pray out loud together.
  • The "Pause" Button is Your Friend: If your child asks a deep question during the sermon, feel free to hit pause! These "micro-discussions" are where real discipleship happens.
  • Snack & Fellowship: After the service, stay in the living room for "lobby time." Grab some hot cocoa or popcorn and talk about one thing that stood out to you from the teaching.
