Romans 8:31-39
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Activity: Lock your two hands together or lock hands with daddy. Ask your child or children to try to separate you. After the fun talk about God’s love and how NOTHING can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Art project: You will need scissors, glue stick, one 9X6in cool paper (you can just print a design off the internet if you don't have any), different color paper or tissue paper. Of one of the papers/tissue paper Cut out two 2 1/2 x 8 inch rectangles and cut the center of them out.
Then glue the squares on the paper one above the other layering the middle line. Tear paper in half making 2 “E”s talk about how we separated the paper and how that was like our relationship with God before Jesus and then how He made it so that nothing could separate us from Him. No matter what hard times we go through He never leaves us! God’s is there and His love for us never changes. (Keep the “E”s to use in the “E”AST”E”R banner.)
Food : White food shaped like clouds at the top of the plate and food shaped like a circle or globe at the bottom of the plate. Rice and sautéed veggies or stir-fry. Remind them about this verse: 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
