Prophets Told About Jesus' Birth:    

The focus of this family time is to use five easy steps to teach your family that The prophets told people about God’s plan. They said God would send a Messiah: Jesus! Jesus would be born into the world as a baby. Jesus would live a perfect life and die on the cross to rescue people from sin


MEMORY VERSE: 

When the set time had fully come, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

- Galatians 4:4-5


Learn the Memory Verse together and say it throughout the week to help your family remember and apply what they have learned.


STEP 1. GATHER!

Use this time to begin Family Worship Night and have fun!

  2. What does the name Immanuel mean? (Immanuel means “God with us.”) 
  3. What did all of Jesus’ names tell us about Him? (They told us who Jesus is and what great things He would do.) 
  4. Where did the prophet Micah say Jesus would be born? (in Bethlehem) 
  • Say: God had a great plan to rescue people from sin. God’s plan was not a secret plan. The prophets told people about God’s plan. They said God would send a Messiah: Jesus! Jesus would be born into the world as a baby. Jesus would live a perfect life and die on the cross to rescue people from sin.


STEP 5. Pray!
  • Pray: God, thank You for Your faithful love to us even when we don’t deserve it. Thank you for sending Jesus as a rescue plan for us.
