Law and the Prophets

This week we started a new a new series at e3 focused on the Old Testament Law and the Prophets. Our memory verse from this week’s lesson (Proverbs 1:7) reminds us that knowledge begins with fear (awe, respect, reverence) for the Lord. God’s audible delivery of the Ten Commandments to the Israelites included a reminder of how they had been freed from slavery. From Exodus 20, our teenagers discussed the importance of several priorities: being in constant awe of God (vs. 2, 20), giving God top spot in our lives (vs. 3-11), treating others with love and respect (vs. 12-17), and keeping our motives pure (v. 17).


During the next few days, consider asking your teenager some of these questions:

When have we seen God at work in our family? (Consider building an “altar of remembrance” to help honor the times you saw God at work in your family.)
On a scale of 1-10, how do you think we do as a family in putting God first? Why?
What are some things we can do together to show love and respect for neighbors?

We will be having a parents/teens meeting Sunday April 17 at 6PM to discuss the summer. We will send out more information on Monday regarding this meeting.

Thanks for your prayers for CCYouth and if I can pray for you or your family in anyway please let me know.
