September 25th Child Chat
Parents/teachers aren’t supposed to have favorite kids.
Joseph was the youngest of twelve and he was his dad’s favorite and that hurt his brothers feelings and made them mad. 
Joseph got a coat from his dad and was Braggy about it.
It’s OK to have a favorite toy or candy, but not a favorite person!
God says “My commandment is this love one another as I have loved you.”

The eye is the lamp of the light, so if your eye is healthy your whole body will see the light!
We need to keep our eyes on
Look to Jesus the founder and protector of our faith.
Hebrews 12:2
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

Wearing goggles, to protect your eyes when you go swimming or ride a motorcycle.
Our eyes are very important to help us see!
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless and foolish thing and look towards me.
So we need to look away from bad things that may hurt us and look towards God.

Promises, Keeping promises is hard.
There is one person who has never broken his promises. Abraham and Sarah – God promised him if he did what he told him they would have a baby, even though they were really old. There are as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.
God can make anything happen!

From – Matthew 14
The disciples said to Jesus we have only 5 loaves and two fishes…. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples and they gave them to the crowd and they all ate till they were full…
God knows when we have a need, even if we think we can’t get the need, he is a God who can meet out needs- what good news.
Goldfish and basket for fish!!

FISHING!
What side did he have them throw it on, the right.
We should do the right thing and make things right with the Lord.
John 21
Just as day was breaking Jesus stood on the shore and the disciples didn’t know it was Jesus. Jesus asked them if they had caught any and they said no, Jesus said cast your net on the right side of the net and you will find some. They got more than they could haul into the boat.

Have you ever been fishing.
How do you feel when you don’t catch any fish
Bible says put out into the deep and let your nets down for a catch. 
You know what that tells me? You need to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus!
Luke 5:4
4 When he finished speaking, he turned to Simon. Jesus said, “Go out into deep water. Let down the nets so you can catch some fish.”

Our faith needs to be stretched and exercised sometimes to maintain its strength!
The more we use our faith the bigger it gets!
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking to God the founder of our faith.
Hebrews 12
12 A huge cloud of witnesses is all around us. So let us throw off everything that stands in our way. Let us throw off any sin that holds on to us so tightly. And let us keep on running the race marked out for us. 2 Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith. And he is the one who completes the journey of faith. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 He made it through these attacks by sinners. So think about him. Then you won’t get tired. You won’t lose hope.

You can use it for more than painting, you can dust with it to get really really clean. Sometimes we need to be really clean, our heart needs to be clean- who can do that?
Psalms 51:10-11
10 God, create a pure heart in me.
Give me a new spirit that is faithful to you.
11 Don’t send me away from you.
Don’t take your Holy Spirit away from me.
