Sunday Mornings in November
Kids' Konnection and Preschool Praisers are going through . . .
A SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ON HOW GOD IS KING
While earthly kings rules over temporary, limited kingdoms, God rules the entire world with eternal power. Earthly kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s reign will never end. This month, kids will learn that God is King, reigning with absolute authority, justice and love over all creation. As the sovereign Ruler, his power is unmatched, and His wisdom guides the universe with perfect order and purpose. Unlike the earthly king the Israelites cried out for, God’s reign is eternal and unchanging, filled with mercy and grace for His people. He governs with a heart of compassion, inviting all to find refuge under His divine protection and provision. As King, He calls His followers to honour Him with reverence and obedience, promising an everlasting kingdom of peace and joy for those who trust in Him. He is the King of Kings and Lord of all!
