Jeremiah’s message is a powerful reminder that while we all fall short, God has made a way for us through Jesus. As you disciple your children, help them understand that we cannot earn God's favor by our own efforts. Just like the people of Judah, we need hearts that are made new by the Lord. Talk with your kids about how Jesus fulfilled the new covenant, giving us lasting forgiveness and a restored relationship with God. When we trust in Him, we receive a new heart that desires to love and obey Him. Your faithful teaching is helping your children grow strong in the Lord, like trees planted by water, rooted in grace and truth.

This week’s message reminds us that even when judgment was near, God continued to call His people to repentance and offer hope through His prophets. As you disciple your children, help them see that God's heart has always been to restore, not to reject. Teach them that the same God who spoke through Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk is the God who sent Jesus to take on our judgment and bring us back to Himself. As you read Scripture together, talk about how God's Word is filled with both truth and grace. Your faithfulness in pointing your children to Jesus is planting seeds of lasting hope and helping them trust in the God who saves.

As you disciple your children, this week’s lesson offers a rich opportunity to talk about the influence of leadership and the faithfulness of God. Some kings of Judah led the people toward God, while others led them into idolatry. Still, God remained faithful to His promises. Help your children see that even when people fail, God never does. Remind them that Jesus, the perfect King, came from the line of Judah and leads us to worship in spirit and truth. Your everyday conversations and prayers are helping your children understand that true leadership begins with a heart that honors God. Keep pointing them to Jesus, the King who never changes and is always worthy of our trust.

The fall of Israel is a sobering reminder of what happens when people continually reject God's love and instruction. Yet even in judgment, we see God's great patience and mercy. As you disciple your children, help them understand both the seriousness of sin and the incredible hope we have in Jesus. Talk with them about how God calls us to turn from sin and trust in Him, and how Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven and restored. Remind your children that when we put our faith in Christ, we receive not only forgiveness but also the power to live for God through the Holy Spirit. Your faithful teaching is helping them grasp the beauty of God's justice and the depth of His love.

The story of Hosea is a powerful picture of God’s faithful love, even when His people are unfaithful. As you disciple your children, help them understand that God's love is not based on our performance but on His promise. Just as Hosea continued to love and pursue Gomer, God continues to pursue us with grace and compassion. Talk with your kids about how Jesus paid the price for our sin and invites us into a restored relationship with God. Remind them that even when we mess up, Jesus remains faithful and forgiving. Your consistent love, prayers, and conversations help shape their understanding of a God who never gives up on His people.

Jonah’s story is a powerful reminder of God’s mercy and patience, even when we run in the wrong direction. As you disciple your children this week, help them see that God’s love reaches everyone, even those we might not expect. Talk about how God gave Jonah another chance and how the people of Nineveh responded with repentance and faith. Remind your kids that we all need saving, and Jesus is the one who makes that possible. Through His death and resurrection, we are invited to turn from sin and walk in new life with Him. Your conversations, prayers, and example help your children understand that God is full of compassion and ready to forgive all who turn to Him.

This week’s story of Elisha is a beautiful reminder of God’s power, provision, and presence. As you disciple your children, help them see that just as God worked through Elisha to point people to Himself, God also wants to work through us today. Talk with your kids about how miracles in the Bible revealed who God is, and how the greatest miracle of all is Jesus, the true Light of the world who saves us from sin. When we place our trust in Him, we receive the Holy Spirit who helps us live in a way that honors God. Your faithful example and conversations are helping your children understand what it means to shine brightly for Jesus in everyday life.

This week’s story reminds us of the consequences of ignoring God’s voice, but even more, it highlights the hope we have in Jesus. As you talk with your children, help them understand that while sin leads to brokenness, God’s grace offers a new path. Ahab chose to follow his own way and refused to turn back, but we have the opportunity to teach our kids that repentance brings forgiveness and change. Because Jesus laid down His life for us, we can be made right with God. Keep pointing your children to the gift of the gospel and the beauty of a heart transformed by His love. Your guidance is helping them learn what it means to follow God with humility and trust.

This week’s story of Elijah reminds us of the power of prayer and the faithfulness of God. As you disciple your children, take time to talk with them about how God hears and answers the prayers of His people. Just as Elijah trusted God in bold and quiet moments, we can help our kids learn to bring both big and small prayers to the Lord. Encourage them to trust in God's power and goodness, knowing He responds in His perfect way and timing. Your prayers and faith-filled conversations at home are helping your children grow in confidence that God is near, listening, and able to do more than we could ask or imagine.

As you lead your children in faith, this week’s lesson is a valuable opportunity to talk about the idols that can quietly take root in our hearts. Just like the kings of Israel led the people away from God through idolatry, we too can be tempted to place our trust or affection in things other than the Lord. Help your children see that anything we value more than God can become an idol, but that Jesus gave His life to set us free from sin and draw us back to Him. As you talk and pray together, remind them of the forgiveness and new life we have through Christ. Your faithful guidance helps them learn to treasure God above all else.

As you lead your children in the ways of Jesus, remember the story of Rehoboam, a king who ignored wise counsel and let pride divide a nation. His example shows that true leadership is not about power but about serving others with humility, just as Jesus did for us. God calls us to listen to His voice and walk in His ways rather than follow the crowd. Pray for the children in your care to grow in wisdom and choose to follow Jesus, the perfect leader who gave His life for us. Let your words, actions, and prayers guide them toward knowing and loving the one true God.

What a gift it is to help your children grow in true wisdom by guiding them to know and trust the Lord. Solomon, the wisest man on earth, reminded us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. As you disciple your children, teach them to honor God as holy, to trust Him fully, and to seek His ways above all else. The wisdom found in Proverbs is not just about good choices but about knowing the One who gives life and direction. When you talk about God's truth at home, pray together, and model trust in Jesus, you are helping your children build a life that lasts. Ask God for the wisdom you need each day, and trust that He will give it generously as you lead your family in faith.

As you teach your children about the greatness of Jesus, help them see that He is far greater than even the wisest earthly king. The queen of Sheba was amazed by Solomon’s wisdom, but Jesus offers something even more powerful. He invites us into a relationship filled with true wisdom, love, and life. Talk with your children about how blessed we are to know and follow the King who rules with perfect justice and compassion. Encourage them to be in awe of Jesus, to trust His words, and to walk in His ways. Your faithful discipleship helps build a foundation for your children to grow in wisdom and love for their Savior. Keep going with hope, knowing the Lord is working through you.

Ecclesiastes reminds us that the things of this world, like success, possessions, and even our best efforts, do not give lasting meaning apart from a life rooted in God. As you walk alongside your children in faith, help them understand that true purpose is found in knowing and following Jesus. Teach them that while the world may chase after empty things, Jesus offers something far greater. He gives us a life filled with eternal significance and joy. When your family seeks Him first, you are building a legacy that will last. Keep pointing their hearts toward the One who gives life in abundance and meaning that never fades. 

As you disciple your children this week, help them see the incredible truth that God no longer needs a building to dwell with His people. Just as Solomon built the temple to honor God and make space for His presence, Jesus came so that we could experience God’s presence in our hearts every day. Through faith in Christ, your children can become living temples, filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered to worship God wherever they go. Remind them that God keeps His promises and that His Spirit is always with them. As you pray together, read Scripture, and talk about God's faithfulness, you are helping your children build a foundation that will last forever. 

As you disciple your children this week, take heart in knowing that God delights in giving wisdom to those who seek Him. Like Solomon, who humbly asked for wisdom to lead well, your desire to guide your children in God’s ways is a beautiful act of faith. Even more amazing is the truth that Jesus Himself is our perfect wisdom, and through Him, we gain everything we need to walk in righteousness and truth. As you talk with your children, help them see that true wisdom isn’t just about making good choices, it’s about knowing and following Jesus. Ask the Lord to grow a heart of wisdom in your home, and trust that He is working through your faithful efforts, one conversation and one prayer at a time.

As you spend time with your children this week, talk about how even someone like King David, a man after God's own heart, needed God's mercy and forgiveness. In 2 Samuel 11–12 and Psalm 51, we see the weight of sin, but even more, we see the beauty of true repentance and God's amazing grace. Help your kids understand that while sin separates us from God, He lovingly invites us back through Jesus. Encourage your children to be honest with God, to ask for forgiveness, and to trust in the Savior who makes our hearts clean. What a gift it is to walk in restoration together as a family!

God is always faithful to his promises, and we see this beautifully in how he established an everlasting kingdom through David’s family, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. David wanted to build a house for God, but it was Solomon who built the temple, and Jesus who came to dwell with us as God in flesh, bringing the kingdom of God near. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus made a way for us to be part of God's family, not because of anything we have done, but because of his great love for us. As you lead the kids in your family, be encouraged that you are helping little hearts understand this life-changing truth. We are invited into God's family and into his forever kingdom. What a beautiful hope to share with the next generation.

David trusted God to fulfill His promise and chose to wait on God's perfect timing instead of taking matters into his own hands. He showed mercy to Saul, even when he had the chance for revenge, believing that God alone is the righteous judge. In an even greater display of mercy, Jesus gave his life for everyone and prayed for the forgiveness of those who crucified him. As parents, you have the incredible opportunity to point your children to this same mercy. Remind them that through Jesus, they can receive forgiveness and new life. Be encouraged! Every conversation, prayer, and act of love helps your child see the beauty of God's kingdom and the hope found in following Jesus.

As you share the story of David and Goliath with your kids, remind them that the real focus is not just David’s courage but God’s faithfulness. David was confident because he had already seen God help him face lions and bears. He believed that the same faithful God would help him face the giant too.

This powerful story points us to Jesus, our true Champion, who defeated sin and death for all of us. Encourage your kids to see that, just like David, they can trust in God's strength instead of their own. Jesus has already won the greatest victory, and we can place our hope fully in Him.

As you guide your children, take time to pray together. Ask God to grow their trust in Him and help them celebrate the salvation He provides in every part of life.
