Promises and Patience. Genesis 21:1-5


Have  you  ever  had  to  wait  for  something  you  really  wanted?   

It’s  really  hard  to  wait  for  something  isn’t  it? And  the more  you  want   something,  the  harder  it  is  to  wait!  But,  when  you  finally  get  it,  it’s  really  great,  isn’t  it?   

Yeah,  we  all  hate  to  wait,  but  we  love  it  when  the  wait  is  over  and  the  wait  makes  the  gift   even  greater! 


A  long  time  ago  God  promised  Abraham  that  He  would  give  him  and  Sarah  a  child.   You can find this story in the book we are studying!   GENESIS!  

   Abraham  and  Sarah  were  quite  old  and  well  passed  the  age  of  having  children.  The   Bible  says  that  Abraham  trusted  God,  but  that  didn’t  make  waiting  any  easier.  It’s  hard  to   wait  for  something  even  when  we  know  it’s  coming.  It’s  like  when  you  know  you’re  going   to  get  something  great  for  your  birthday,  but  it’s  still  hard  to  wait!



Great job using your gifts this past Sunday!   I am so proud of you!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength!

Last week...Fishers of Men! This coming week...Jesus Heals and Forgives!

                                          Jesus wants you and me to fish for people, too. That means that Jesus wants us to tell others about what He has done for us and what He wants to do for them. Fishing for people is a lot like fishing for fish. First, we need to be properly equipped . We need to know what the Bible teaches and learn how to share it with others. Next, we go out where the people are and tell them about Jesus. Finally, we must be patient .  If we do these things, we can really become fishers of people like Jesus wants us to be. If you think there is a great feeling of excitement in catching a fish, just imagine how exciting it must be to bring someone to Jesus! I look forward to seeing you on Sunday! We will be meeting in the sanctuary! We sing in worship this week so we will rehearse and also hear about the friends who took their friend to Jesus. They took their friend through the ROOF! You hear me correctly! Can't wait to tell you all about it!
