GOD'S PURPOSE FOR THINGS
TALKING TO GOD
Thank God that He has a purpose for every thing He gives us.
DIVING IN
Think of some of the unique things God has given you. In a show-and-tell format, take turns sharing about some of the gifts you treasure. Show your favorite items and explain why they're valuable to you.
GOING DEEPER
It's exciting to explore the things God's given to us. It's even more exciting when we understand that everything — even our belongings — has a purpose in God's plan. In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells a story about three servants, each one entrusted with a valuable talent of money. Two of the servants were faithful and put their money to work for their master, using it to accomplish his purposes. And they were rewarded for their efforts when their master said, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" It's the same for us. As we use the things God's given us to work toward His goals, like blessing others, we're sharing in God's happiness.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- How has God met your needs with something He has given you?
- How can God meet the needs of those around you through some of the things He's entrusted to you?

Sobre este plano
Sharing isn’t exactly easy for children (or adults, for that matter). In this four-day study, your family will begin to view your “stuff”—from the extra space in your home to your children’s favorite toys—as gifts from God that He expects you to use in the care of His people. Each day includes a prayer prompt, brief Scripture reading and explanation, hands-on activity, and discussion questions.
