LESSON 3: WHAT SHOULD I WORSHIP?

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 22:36-38

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.”

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS

This week, we discussed that we are designed to worship God. If we want to know God, we need to spend time in his Word.

Read each passage of Scripture and discuss what each one tells you about who God is.

Deuteronomy 6:4
- According to the verse, how many Gods are there?
Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14
- According to these verses, how many persons are there in God?
- There is only one God, but He is three different persons. Christians usually call this the Trinity.
Genesis 1:1, John 1:3, Colossians 1:16
- What do each of these verses tell us about God?

God is the Creator of everything. He works in His creation. He is close to us! But He is not part of His creation. For example, God is not in a
tree or a rock or a plant.

As a family, spend some time thanking God for who He is.

What does the Israelites’ punishment communicate about the seriousness of sin?
