Sunday Morning Small Groups
Just to let you know what has been going on in our Sunday Morning Small Groups, we have been learning about other religions and the best way to tell others about Jesus who don't believe in Him. Last week we covered Judaism, and this week, the focus was on Islam. We talked about some of the basics of Islamic faith and looked at Mark 8:27-29 to focus on the importance of who Jesus really is. The students examined the Islamic faith's teaching that salvation is based on deeds and works and that there are certain things you have to do every day or you will lose that salvation.
We would like to encourage you to take time to talk with your kids about this week's lesson. We presented a lot of information, so your student may not remember all the details, but here are some questions that could help with your conversation:
-What if Jesus was not the Messiah and was just a good teacher or prophet? What impact would that have on your faith?
-Why do you think God would offer us salvation based on faith, not works? What would life be like if your deeds or actions earned you salvation, so you'd know how you were doing and if you were living up to God's expectations?
-What is the best way to pray for a friend or family member who is a Muslim, and why?
Thank you for taking time to talk about God's Word with your children and uplift them in their walk with Christ.
