Big Idea: God is generous to us, so we can be generous to others.

Bible Passage: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, 9:6-15

Welcome back to term 3! This week the kids learned that Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth. He wanted them to understand that their relationship with Jesus was the start of a whole new life. God has been merciful and generous to us. He gave us the greatest gift, His own Son. Jesus showed us what generousity loks like when He gave up His life to save us from sin. Because of Jesus, we can be merciful and generous to others. Jesus is our picture of what perfect generousity looks like, because He gave up everything for us.

Family Activity

How can we be generous? We defined 'generousity' as 'giving and giving and giving away our gifts'. What are gifts we have been blessed with as s family that we can bless others with? Consider going through your clothes, toys or saved up pocket money and talk about how you could bless others with those things. Talk about how it is hard sometimes to give up things we love for others, but a truly generous heart, like Jesus', sees that it is worth the cost to bless others.

Have a great week!
