What’s the most important thing we can share? The Good News about Jesus Christ!

Sharing is caring. Everyone knows that, but the most important thing we can share is our faith. In this three-part series, kids learn to share faith by talking about Jesus, living a life that reflects Him, loving others the way God does, and by sharing stories of how God has changed us. Let’s share our faith together!


Review the Point and Bible Verse Point: Kids can be a Godly example.


Mark 16:15 NLT … “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”

Sunday Morning Worship

Question #1: What land has God promised you that you’ve stopped pursuing? Have you let time, fear, or frustration cause you to abandon a word or promise from God that still stands? What would it look like to return to it with Caleb-like faith?


Question #2: In what areas of your life are you trying to live in God’s promises while still clinging to old mindsets, habits, or comforts? What would it take for you to fully commit to a pursuit of God? 


Question #3: Are you waiting on God to move when He’s actually waiting on you? Like the tribe of Joseph in Joshua 17, have you been making excuses rather than moving forward? Are you expecting God to do all the work when He’s asking for your participation—through prayer, bold action, or discipline?


Question #4: What does faithfulness look like for you in this season? Are you being consistent in the small things that prepare you for the fulfillment of God’s promises - prayer, Bible study, worship, service, and generosity?


Question #5: Now that you’ve experienced breakthrough or advancement in some area, are you building structures that keep God at the center (like the cities of refuge and the Levite cities)? If not, what steps can you take today to begin making room for God in your “promised land”?


Question #6: What “spiritual land” do you need to reclaim and dedicate to God again?

Is it your daily schedule? Your thought life? Your home? Your relationships? 


Challenge: 

  1. Go back and identify one specific promise God has spoken over your life. Take the bold step as Caleb did and take possession of that promise.

  2. Take one bold, tangible step toward what God has already promised.

• If it’s healing, start praying with renewed faith and confessing God’s Word.

• If it’s calling, start preparing—read, study, serve, step up.

• If it’s family restoration, start with a phone call, a conversation, or an apology.

Stop waiting and start walking. The land has been given—go possess it.

  1. Evaluate your life and identify one area where you need to make more room for God (your time, relationships, mindset, finances, habits).
