Read the Bible passages together as a family - ask everyone - even young children to choose their favorite words. Using this grid (or make your own - it's especially fun to play on a large scale with one post-it per letter!) help one another to fill the entire board with the words - linking them as you would a crossword puzzle or in a game of scrabble.
God promised Abraham descendants numbering the stars. Play around with sidewalk chalk or regular chalk this week. See how many stars you can fit on a piece of black construction paper or a chalkboard at home. Supply note: black construction paper or chalkboard and chalk
Week 6
15 Minute Bible Study
Read Philippians 2:5-11. The “though” in vs. 6 is really misleading. That translation makes it appear as though Jesus was acting in a way abnormal for God to act in emptying himself. But the Greek there also means “because.” So there is a striking double meaning here. Jesus acts counter to our normal ways of thinking about God as powerful and in control and willing to beat people up. But Jesus acts exactly in accordance with who God really is; exactly because Jesus was in the form of God, Jesus did what god always does and came down to save us. Jesus is acting in character, for God, not out of character in his self-emptying death for us.
