Follow-up: Wisemen

Story: How we worship Jesus

Fundamental Truth: God is in Charge of Everything

Making it Real:
The angels sang to worship Jesus. The wisemen brought gifts. The shepherds sat at the baby’s feet in worship. Why did these people worship this child and why do we worship Him still?
When we worship God, we are making Him famous. We are putting Him in the most important place in our hearts. We are saying that He is better than anything else and our heart belongs to Him. We worship Jesus because He is God’s Son and by His death He made a way for us to be with God forever. We worship Jesus because He is the only way to God and because He is the reason we have hope and joy and purpose.

Making it Stick:
Grab your camera and go on a photo scavenger hunt with your child. Take pictures of different ways we worship God. You can take pictures of church buildings, Bibles, books, music, etc. But also help your child think of different ways you worship or different things you do while you worship. You can take pictures of someone cooking or cleaning, working at a job, eating, taking care of a child or loved one, etc. Talk through each of the pictures and how you can worship in each instance. Put together an online album or print the pictures out and make a journal with pictures and descriptions.
