Week 2—Week of February 25, 2018: Teach Me Lord
Scripture: Mark 8:31-38
Symbol: Bible
Discussion & Activity:
Jesus taught his disciples. Because his teachings are recorded in the Bible, he continues to teach us today. Think together about what you know that Jesus has taught us. What is your favorite Bible story or Scripture? Ask each person to name his or her favorite Bible story or Scripture.
Spend time telling one another stories from the Bible. OR select two or three Bible stories to read together.
Make your own “Important Scripture” booklets. Take one sheet of paper for each person in the family. Fold it so that you have four pages. On each page, name a Bible story or Scripture verse that is important to a member of the family. Draw pictures or write the Scripture or story on that page. Place these with your Bible and include these stories and verses in your prayer time during the week.
Take time for family members to say how they are doing with what they have added to and given up in their life.
Prayer:
Dear God:
Today we give thanks to you for Jesus and all that he taught us.
We thank you for our Bible and what we learn about you as we read and study the stories and verses contained in our Bible.
Sometimes we get too busy to read our Bible. This week, help us to take time to read and study stories and verses from the Bible.
Help us see ways for us to live out these stories and verses so that others will want to read and study the Bible as well.
Amen.
