Bible Story

Ezra Rebuilding the Temple
Ezra 3:10-13

Celebrate each step of the way.

“A cheerful heart makes you healthy. But a broken spirit dries you up.”

Proverbs 17:22, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• What is something that took longer than you wanted it to?
• What steps in life seem harder than others?
• What is something you can celebrate each step of the way this week?

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for giving us joy in every season. We know that You are with us and give us strength even when there are big jobs to do. Help us to remember when we follow Jesus, Your Spirit will help us find joy each and every day. We love You and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

As your kid starts their day, tell your kid one thing you’ve seen them say or do lately that made you proud.
 

Drive Time

While on the go, ask your kid: “What is one thing you could do this week to be more like Jesus?”

Meal Time

Sometimes living out our faith in Jesus is about the steps we take every day—like being kind to one person or trusting God with something when you are scared. At a meal this week, ask everyone this: “What is one thing that you’ve done recently where you put something you believe into action?” (After everyone has shared, celebrate each step—maybe with a special treat.)
 

Bed Time

Pray for each other: “God, thank You for the things You have done in our lives and the things You have taught us. [List some.]”
