Matthew 6:25-26

Don't Worry: God Cares for You!

Welcome, Faith Force Nature Explorers! Today, we’re discovering how God takes care of us, just as He takes care of nature, as taught in Matthew 6:25-26.

Verse Of The Day:

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" (Matthew 6:25-26)

Have you ever worried about something you needed? Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25-26 that we don’t need to worry because God takes care of us!

Jesus points us to two important lessons from nature. First, He reminds us to “look at the birds of the air.” Birds don’t plant gardens or save food in refrigerators, yet God makes sure they have what they need to eat every day! Second, Jesus asks a powerful question: “Are you not much more valuable than they?” If God takes such good care of birds, how much more will He care for you, His precious child!

When we start to worry about things we need, Jesus wants us to remember that God knows exactly what we need and loves us even more than the birds and flowers He cares for so wonderfully. Our worries can be replaced with trust when we remember how valuable we are to God.

God Cares for Me Jar:

Decorate a clear jar and cut out small paper birds and flowers. On each one, write something you might worry about. Place them in the jar, and whenever you feel worried, look at your jar and remember: If God cares for birds and flowers, He certainly cares for you!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for caring about every part of our lives. When we start to worry about what we need, help us remember the birds and flowers that You take care of so well. Thank You for valuing us even more than these beautiful parts of Your creation. Help us trust You instead of worrying. Amen.

Keep trusting instead of worrying, Faith Force Nature Explorers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that the God who feeds the birds and clothes the flowers cares for you even more!

Psalm 33:11

God's Forever Plans: Unchanging Through Generations

Welcome, Faith Force Time Travelers! Today, we’re exploring how God’s plans last forever, unlike our changing plans, as taught in Psalm 33:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations." (Psalm 33:11)

Have you ever had plans change unexpectedly? Maybe a fun day outside got rained out, or a special event was canceled. Our plans change all the time, but Psalm 33:11 tells us something amazing about God’s plans!

This verse teaches us two important truths. First, God’s plans “stand firm forever.” While our plans often change, God’s plans never fail! Second, His purposes continue “through all generations.” That means what God purposed long ago still matters today, and what He purposes for us now will matter far into the future!

How wonderful to know that when God makes a plan, it’s not just for a day or a year but forever! When we trust in God’s plans instead of only our own, we’re connecting to something that will never disappoint or change—His eternal purpose for us and for all people.

God's Forever Plans Timeline:

Create a long paper timeline showing important events from the past, present, and future. Mark Bible stories from long ago, add your family today, and imagine future generations. Write Psalm 33:11 across the top. This reminds us that God’s plans stretch across all time!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You that Your plans stand firm forever. When our plans change or don't work out, help us remember that You have perfect purposes that never fail. Thank You for including us in Your eternal plan that stretches across all generations. Help us trust Your unchanging wisdom. Amen.

Keep trusting God’s eternal purposes, Faith Force Time Travelers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that while our plans may change, God’s plans stand firm forever!

Ephesians 1:11

Chosen With Purpose: God's Perfect Plan

Welcome, Faith Force Purpose Seekers! Today, we’re discovering how God has a special plan for each of us, as taught in Ephesians 1:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will." (Ephesians 1:11)

Have you ever felt like you’re not sure why you’re here? Ephesians 1:11 has amazing news—God chose you on purpose!

This verse tells us two incredible things. First, we are “chosen” by God. That means God specifically picked you to be part of His family! Second, God has a “plan” that includes you. Nothing about your life is random or accidental—God is working everything out according to His perfect purpose.

What an amazing thought! The God who created the entire universe has chosen you and has special plans for your life. When we remember this truth, we can face each day with confidence, knowing that our lives have real purpose and meaning in God’s big story.

Treasure Map of Purpose:

Create a colorful treasure map representing God’s plan for your life! Draw paths, add symbols for challenges, and place a special treasure at the end representing God’s purpose. Add words like “chosen,” “planned,” and “purpose” along the path. Remember, God knows exactly where your map leads!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for choosing us to be part of Your amazing plan. Help us to remember that You have a special purpose for our lives. When we feel confused or unsure, remind us that You are working everything out perfectly according to Your will. Thank You for giving our lives meaning and direction. Amen.

Keep following God’s perfect plan, Faith Force Purpose Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that you were chosen with purpose, and God is working everything out according to His perfect will!

Psalm 37:5

Giving God Your Plans: The Path of Trust

Welcome, Faith Force Trust Walkers! Today, we’re learning about giving our plans to God and trusting His guidance, as taught in Psalm 37:5.

Verse Of The Day:

"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this." (Psalm 37:5)

Have you ever made big plans for something, only to have them change? In Psalm 37:5, we learn about a better way to handle our plans—by giving them to God!

This verse teaches us two important steps. First, we “commit” our way to the Lord. That means we take our plans, dreams, and paths and hand them over to God, saying, “Here, God, You lead the way!” Second, we “trust in Him.” We believe that God knows best and will guide us better than we could guide ourselves.

And what happens when we do these two things? The verse promises that “He will do this.” God will take action in our lives! He’ll work things out in ways that are better than we could imagine. When we let go of controlling everything and trust God’s guidance instead, we can walk through life with peace in our hearts.

Path to God:

Cut out several paper footprints. On each one, write or draw something you’re planning or hoping for. Then create a path with the footprints leading to a door labeled “God’s Care.” This reminds us to commit our ways to God and trust Him with all our plans!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, we commit our ways to You today. Our plans, our dreams, our hopes—we place them all in Your loving hands. Help us to truly trust that Your guidance is best. Thank You for promising to work in our lives when we commit our way to You and trust in You. Amen.

Keep committing your way to God, Faith Force Trust Walkers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that when we give our plans to God and trust Him, He promises to work everything out!

Isaiah 46:9-10

The God Who Knows All Time: Beginning to End

Welcome, Faith Force Time Travelers! Today, we’re discovering God’s amazing ability to see all of time—past, present, and future—as taught in Isaiah 46:9-10.

Verse Of The Day:

"Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'" (Isaiah 46:9-10)

Have you ever wondered what will happen tomorrow or next year? Unlike us, God never has to wonder! In Isaiah 46:9-10, God tells us something amazing about Himself—He knows everything that has happened and everything that will happen!

God reminds us that He is unique and there is no one else like Him. One of the special things about God is that He can see the end from the beginning. That means when time first began, God already knew what would happen at the end! Nothing surprises Him.

This verse also tells us that God’s purposes always succeed. What He plans will happen, no matter what! This helps us feel safe and secure, knowing that God is in control of all time and His good plans will always come true.

Time Telescope:

Create a “telescope” from a paper towel tube. Decorate it with stars, arrows pointing both ways (for past and future), and the words “God Sees All Time.” Use it as a reminder that God sees everything—past, present, and future—and holds it all in His loving hands!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being the amazing God who knows everything about all time. We're so glad that nothing surprises You and that Your perfect plans always succeed. When we worry about the future, help us remember that You've already seen it and have everything under control. Amen.

Keep trusting the God who sees all time, Faith Force Time Travelers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God knows the beginning from the end, and His wonderful purposes will always stand!

Romans 8:28

All Things Work Together: God's Amazing Promise

Welcome, Faith Force Promise Holders! Today, we’re discovering one of God’s most comforting promises about how He works in our lives, as taught in Romans 8:28.

Verse Of The Day:

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

Have you ever had something disappointing or difficult happen and wondered, “How could this ever be good?” Romans 8:28 gives us an amazing promise that helps us through tough times!

This verse tells us that God is always working behind the scenes in our lives. Like a master chef who combines ingredients that might taste bad on their own to create something delicious, God takes all the experiences in our lives—both the happy and the hard ones—and works them together for good.

This doesn’t mean everything that happens is good. Some things are sad or painful. But it does mean that God is powerful enough to bring good results even from difficult situations for those who love Him. Nothing is wasted in God’s plan!

God's Recipe Box:

Decorate a small box or container as a “recipe box.” On recipe cards, write down different experiences you’ve had—both good and challenging ones. On each card, also write “God works this for good because…” and fill in how God might use that experience in your life. Add new cards as you have new experiences!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for Your amazing promise that You work all things together for good in our lives. When we face hard times, help us remember that You are working behind the scenes. Thank You that nothing is wasted in Your plan. Help us trust You even when we don't understand. Amen.

Keep trusting God’s perfect plan, Faith Force Promise Holders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God is working all things—even the difficult ones—together for your good because He loves you!

Jeremiah 29:11

God's Good Plans: A Future Full of Hope

Welcome, Faith Force Future Dreamers! Today, we’re discovering God’s wonderful promise about the special plans He has for each of us, as taught in Jeremiah 29:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11)

Have you ever wondered what will happen in your future? Will it be good or bad? In Jeremiah 29:11, God gives us an amazing promise that can help us feel peaceful about whatever comes next!

God told the Israelites—who were going through a really hard time away from their home—that He knew exactly what He had planned for them. And His plans weren’t to hurt them or make them sad. Instead, God promised them a future filled with hope and good things!

This same promise is for us today! God knows everything about your life—your past, present, and future. He has good plans for you that will give you hope, not harm. Even when things seem difficult or confusing, we can trust that God is working out His special plan for our lives.

Hope-Filled Future Map:

On a large piece of paper, draw a winding path from one corner to another. Along the path, create spaces to write or draw things you hope for in your future. In each space, add a small reminder that God has good plans for you—like little stars or hearts. Decorate your map with cheerful colors and hang it where you’ll see it each day!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for having wonderful plans for our lives. When we feel worried about the future, help us remember Your promise that Your plans give us hope, not harm. Thank You for knowing exactly what we need and for working everything out for our good. Help us trust You with our future. Amen.

Keep dreaming with God, Faith Force Future Dreamers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God knows the perfect plan for your life—a plan filled with hope and a bright future!

Psalm 34:4

Freedom from Fear: God Answers When We Call

Welcome, Faith Force Fear Conquerors! Today, we’re learning about how God rescues us from our fears when we pray, as taught in Psalm 34:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." (Psalm 34:4)

Have you ever been so scared that your heart beats fast and you don’t know what to do? In Psalm 34:4, David tells us about a wonderful discovery he made: when we seek God in our scary times, He answers us and frees us from our fears!

David wrote this psalm after escaping from a dangerous situation. He wasn’t just a little worried—he was terrified! But he did something important: he “sought the LORD.” That means he turned to God in prayer, asking for help. And what happened? God answered him and delivered him from ALL his fears!

This verse doesn’t say God might answer or that He removes some fears—it says He answered and delivered David from ALL his fears. What an amazing promise for us too! When fear tries to take over our hearts, we can call out to God and He will help us be brave.

Fear Buster Prayer Jar:

Decorate a jar with bright colors and the words “God Delivers Me From Fear!” Write down specific fears on small slips of paper. Fold them and place them in the jar. Whenever you add a fear, pray about it, thanking God for hearing you and delivering you from that fear!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for listening when we call to You in our scary times. Just like You delivered David from all his fears, please deliver us from the things that make us afraid. Help us remember to seek You first whenever fear comes. Thank You for always hearing our prayers. Amen.

Keep seeking God when fears come, Faith Force Fear Conquerors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that when we call out to God, He answers and delivers us from ALL our fears!

Mark 5:36

Don't Be Afraid: Just Believe!

Welcome, Faith Force Fear Fighters! Today, we’re learning about Jesus’ powerful words that help us overcome fear with faith, as taught in Mark 5:36.

Verse Of The Day:

"Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, 'Don't be afraid; just believe.'" (Mark 5:36)

Have you ever received scary news that made your heart feel like it was sinking? In Mark 5:36, a man named Jairus had just been told his daughter had died. Can you imagine how afraid and sad he felt?

But then Jesus spoke some of the most powerful words in the Bible: “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” When everything seemed hopeless, Jesus encouraged Jairus to replace his fear with faith. And guess what happened? Jesus went to Jairus’ house and brought his daughter back to life!

Jesus wants us to know that even when things seem impossible or scary, we can trust Him. Fear tells us to give up, but faith tells us to look to Jesus. When we choose to believe instead of being afraid, we open the door for Jesus to work in amazing ways!

Faith Trumps Fear Flip Cards:

Create cards with “FEAR” written on one side and “FAITH” on the other. On the fear side, write situations that make you scared. On the faith side, write “Jesus says: Just believe!” and a way to trust God in that situation. Flip the card when fear comes to remind yourself to choose faith!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for Your powerful words: "Don't be afraid; just believe." When we face scary situations, help us to flip fear into faith by trusting in You. Thank You for being with us in every situation and for doing things that seem impossible. Help our faith to grow stronger every day. Amen.

John 14:1

Peaceful Hearts: Trusting Jesus in Troubled Times

Welcome, Faith Force Peace Seekers! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus gives us calm hearts even when life feels scary, as taught in John 14:1.

Verse Of The Day:

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me." (John 14:1)

Have you ever felt worried or scared about something? Maybe about a test at school or when things change in your family? In John 14:1, Jesus spoke these comforting words to His disciples when they were feeling worried.

Jesus knew His friends would face difficult times, so He gave them—and us—a wonderful solution: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Instead of worrying, Jesus invites us to trust in Him just like we trust in God.

When we believe in Jesus, we can give Him our worries instead of carrying them ourselves. It’s like having the strongest, kindest friend who promises to help us through every scary situation. Our hearts can be peaceful even when life feels stormy!

Peaceful Heart Pockets:

Cut out heart shapes from colored paper. On one side write “Troubled” and list worries. Fold the heart to create a pocket and on the outside write “Trust Jesus” with colorful decorations. Place small strips of paper inside with encouraging Bible promises. When you feel worried, pull out a promise to read!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for caring about our worried hearts. When we feel scared or troubled, help us remember to trust in You. Thank You for Your promise to be with us always and for giving us peace even in hard times. We believe in You. Amen.

Isaiah 11:4

Justice for All: The Coming Righteous King

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Champions! Today, we’re learning about God’s promise of a perfectly fair ruler, as taught in Isaiah 11:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"But with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked." (Isaiah 11:4)

Have you ever noticed that sometimes in our world, people who don’t have much money or power aren’t treated fairly? Isaiah 11:4 gives us an amazing promise about Jesus, the coming King!

This verse tells us that when Jesus rules, He will judge with perfect righteousness. He’ll make sure that people who are poor or in need are treated with complete fairness. No one will be overlooked or treated unfairly because they don’t have money or important connections.

The verse also tells us that Jesus will speak powerful words of truth that will defeat wickedness. Just His words have the power to change everything! This promise gives us hope for a world where true justice will reign.

Justice Scales Mobile:

Create a hanging mobile with a coat hanger and string. On one side, hang paper cutouts showing ways people might be treated unfairly. On the other side, hang cutouts showing how Jesus brings justice. When balanced, it shows how Jesus makes everything right!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for promising a world where everyone will be treated fairly through Jesus our King. Help us to treat others with justice and fairness now, especially those who are often overlooked. We look forward to Jesus' perfect rule of righteousness. Amen.

Romans 2:6

God's Fair Rewards: Actions and Consequences

Welcome, Faith Force Truth Seekers! Today, we’re learning about God’s fair judgment of our actions, as taught in Romans 2:6.

Verse Of The Day:

"God 'will repay each person according to what they have done.'" (Romans 2:6)

Have you ever worked hard on something and felt proud when you got a good grade or reward? Romans 2:6 teaches us an important truth: God pays attention to what we do and will reward each person fairly!

God sees everything—not just what others see, but also the things we do when no one is watching. He knows our hearts and our actions. The Bible tells us that God will repay each person according to what they have done.

This doesn’t mean we earn God’s love—that’s already a free gift! But it does mean that how we live matters to God. When we choose to follow Jesus and do good things out of love for Him, God notices and will reward us someday.

Let’s remember that our choices have consequences, and let’s choose to live in ways that please God!

Actions and Rewards Garden:

Plant seeds in a small cup of soil. Each day when you water the seeds, share one good deed you did. As the plants grow, they’ll remind you that our actions have results—just like God teaches us!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for seeing everything we do. Help us to make good choices that please You, not just when others are watching but all the time. Remind us that our actions matter to You. Thank You for loving us and teaching us how to live. Amen.

Matthew 25:31-32

The Great Shepherd King: Jesus Separates His Sheep

Welcome, Faith Force Kingdom Watchers! Today, we’re learning about Jesus’ return as King and Judge, as taught in Matthew 25:31-32.

Verse Of The Day:

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." (Matthew 25:31-32)

Have you ever seen a shepherd with a flock of animals? The shepherd knows each animal and cares for them! In Matthew 25:31-32, Jesus tells us that when He returns, He will be like a shepherd who separates sheep from goats.

Jesus will come back not as a baby in a manger, but as a glorious King with all the angels! Everyone from every nation will stand before Him. Just like a shepherd knows which animals are sheep and which are goats, Jesus knows which people have truly followed Him.

The sheep represent those who loved Jesus and showed it by caring for others. The goats represent those who didn’t follow Jesus with their actions. Jesus will place the sheep and goats in different places—just like a shepherd does at the end of the day.

Shepherd's Sorting Game:

Create simple sheep and goat shapes from paper. On the sheep, write ways we can show love to others like Jesus taught. Play a sorting game where children take turns putting the sheep on one side and the goats on the other!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for sending Jesus to be our Good Shepherd now and our King when He returns. Help us to live as faithful sheep who follow Jesus by showing love to others. Give us kind and caring hearts that please You. Amen.

Verse Of The Day:

"But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells." (2 Peter 3:13)

Have you ever dreamed about a perfect world where everyone is kind and does what’s right? The Bible tells us this isn’t just a dream—it’s God’s promise! In 2 Peter 3:13, we learn that God has promised to create a new heaven and a new earth.

This new world will be amazing because righteousness will “dwell” there—that means doing what’s right will be everywhere, like the air we breathe! There won’t be any meanness, sadness, or wrong things happening.

While we wait for this perfect new world, we can practice living God’s way right now. When we choose to be honest, kind, and fair, we’re getting little tastes of what God’s new world will be like!

Sincere Love Heart Craft:

Perfect World Peekbox: Decorate a shoebox to create a “window” to God’s perfect new world! Cut a viewing hole in one end, then inside, create a scene with drawings or craft items showing what you think the new heaven and earth might look like—with everyone living together in peace and joy!

Verse Of The Day:

Welcome, Faith Force Relief Seekers! Today, we're learning about God's promise of justice and rest, as taught in 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7.

Have you ever been treated unfairly or had someone be mean to you? It can feel really hard! But 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 gives us an amazing promise: God sees everything and will make things right.

God is perfectly just—that means He is always fair. When others are unkind to us, we don’t need to try to get even. Instead, we can trust that God will handle things perfectly in His time. He promises to give relief and rest to those who are troubled.

This verse also reminds us that Jesus will return one day in all His glory! When that happens, everything wrong will be made right. Until then, we can find peace knowing that God sees us, cares about us, and will bring justice in the perfect way.

Sincere Love Heart Craft:

Peaceful Rest Clouds: Cut out cloud shapes from paper. On one side, write down worries or troubles. On the other side, write “God gives relief” and decorate with restful colors like blue and purple. Hang it above your bed as a reminder that God brings rest and justice!

Psalm 98:9

Joy in God's Justice: Celebrating Our Fair Judge

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Celebrators! Today, we’re learning about God’s perfect fairness and how we can rejoice in His righteous judgment, as taught in Psalm 98:9.

Verse Of The Day:

"Let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity." (Psalm 98:9)

Have you ever been treated unfairly? It doesn’t feel good, does it? But did you know that God is the most fair judge of all? Psalm 98:9 tells us to sing and celebrate because God comes to judge the earth with perfect fairness!

When we hear the word “judge,” we might think of someone stern or scary. But God’s judgment is something to celebrate! He always knows what’s true and right, and He treats everyone fairly. No one gets special treatment, and no one is overlooked.

The Bible says God will judge the world in righteousness (doing what’s right) and with equity (being fair to everyone). This means we can trust God to make things right in the end. What a wonderful reason to sing with joy!

Fairness Rhythm Makers:

Create simple musical instruments like shakers (beans in a container) or drums (upside-down pots) to celebrate God’s fairness! Write “God is Fair” on your instruments and make joyful music to celebrate God’s perfect justice.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being a perfectly fair judge. We're grateful that You always do what is right and treat everyone with fairness. Help us to be fair in how we treat others too. We celebrate and praise You for Your perfect justice! Amen.

Keep celebrating God’s fairness, Faith Force Justice Celebrators! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that we can rejoice knowing that God judges the world with perfect righteousness and treats everyone fairly. What a wonderful reason to sing!

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (Revelation 21:4)

Have you ever been really sad or hurt? We all have times when we cry or feel pain. But God has made an amazing promise about our future with Him! Revelation 21:4 tells us that one day, God will wipe away all our tears.

In heaven, there will be no more sadness, no more people getting sick or dying, and no more painful goodbyes. God promises to make everything new and perfect! Just imagine a place with only happiness, where God Himself comforts us and takes away everything that hurts.

When we feel sad now, we can remember this wonderful promise. God sees our tears today, but He also has a plan to end all sadness forever. That’s something we can look forward to with hope!

Tears to Joy Craft:

Decorate a paper tear drop shape with blue and silver glitter on one side. On the other side, draw a big smile and happy things that remind you of heaven. Hang it up to remember that God will turn our tears into joy!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for promising a future where there will be no more tears or sadness. When we feel hurt or sad now, please comfort us and remind us of Your wonderful promise. We look forward to the day when You will make everything new. Thank You for wiping away our tears. Amen.

Keep holding onto hope, Faith Force Hope Holders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God sees every tear and has promised a future full of joy with no more sadness or pain. What a wonderful promise to look forward to!

Romans 14:17

God's Kingdom Values: What Really Matters

Welcome, Faith Force Kingdom Explorers! Today, we’re discovering what God’s kingdom is really about, as taught in Romans 14:17.

Verse Of The Day:

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." (Romans 14:17)

Have you ever thought something was super important, but then learned there was something even more important? In Romans 14:17, Paul tells us that God’s kingdom isn’t about rules about food or what we drink—it’s about something much bigger!

God’s kingdom is about living right (righteousness), getting along with others (peace), and having true happiness that comes from God (joy). These things come when we follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance in our lives.

Sometimes we focus too much on little rules and forget what really matters to God—how we treat others and our relationship with Him. Jesus showed us that loving God and loving others are the most important commandments of all!

Let’s focus on filling our hearts with God’s righteousness, peace, and joy today, and let the Holy Spirit guide us in what really matters.

Kingdom Values Crowns:

Create paper crowns and write “Righteousness,” “Peace,” and “Joy” on them with colorful markers. Wear your crown as a reminder of what God’s kingdom is really about!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for inviting us into Your kingdom. Help us focus on what really matters—righteousness, peace, and joy through Your Holy Spirit. Guide us to live these values every day and to share them with others. Thank You for showing us what's truly important. Amen.

Keep seeking God’s kingdom values, Faith Force Kingdom Explorers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God cares more about the goodness in our hearts than about rules about food or drink. Let’s live with righteousness, peace, and joy!

Hebrews 12:11

Growing Through Challenges: The Purpose of Discipline

Welcome, Faith Force Perseverance Builders! Today, we’re learning about how God uses discipline to help us grow, as taught in Hebrews 12:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11)

Have you ever had to practice something over and over until you got better? Maybe it was playing an instrument or learning to ride a bike. It wasn’t always fun, was it? Hebrews 12:11 reminds us that discipline might not feel good at first, but it helps us grow stronger!

When our parents correct us or when we face challenges, it can feel hard. But God uses these moments to teach us important lessons and build our character. Just like a gardener prunes plants to help them grow better fruit, God’s discipline helps us grow stronger in faith and character.

The Bible tells us that after the hard work of discipline comes something wonderful—a peaceful heart and a life that shows God’s goodness! So when things get tough, remember that God is helping you grow into someone amazing.

Fruit of Discipline Tree:

Draw a simple tree on paper. Write challenges you’ve faced on the trunk and branches (like “practice,” “patience,” “following rules”). Then draw colorful fruits labeled with good things that came from those challenges (like “getting better,” “learning to wait,” “staying safe”).

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for loving us enough to help us grow through challenges. When discipline feels hard, remind us that You are helping us become more like Jesus. Give us courage to learn from tough times. Thank You for the peace and goodness that grows in our lives. Amen.

Keep growing through challenges, Faith Force Perseverance Builders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s discipline is because He loves you and wants to help you grow strong in faith and character!

Leviticus 19:15

Justice for All: Being Fair Like God

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Seekers! Today, we’re learning about God’s call to be fair and just to everyone, as taught in Leviticus 19:15.

Verse Of The Day:

"Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly." (Leviticus 19:15)

Have you ever had someone treat you differently because of who you are or what you have? God wants us to treat everyone fairly! Leviticus 19:15 teaches us that we shouldn’t favor someone just because they’re rich or popular, and we shouldn’t favor someone just because they’re poor either.

God calls us to be fair judges who look at what’s right, not at who a person is. When we treat everyone with fairness and respect, we show God’s love to the world. Jesus treated everyone the same way—with kindness and fairness—whether they were important or not.

Let’s practice being fair today by treating everyone with the same kindness and respect, just like God does with us. Remember, God doesn’t play favorites, and neither should we!

Fair Scales Craft:

Create a simple balance scale using a hanger, two cups, and string. Write “FAIR” on one cup and “JUST” on the other. Hang it up as a reminder to be fair and just to everyone you meet!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being a fair and just God. Help us to treat everyone with fairness and respect, no matter who they are. Give us wisdom to see people the way You see them. Thank You for loving us all equally. Amen.

Keep being fair to everyone, Faith Force Justice Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God calls us to judge fairly and treat everyone with respect. Let’s follow His example of perfect justice!

Leviticus 19:15

Fair Judgment: Treating Everyone Equally

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Keepers! Today, we’re learning about God’s call for fairness and equal treatment, as taught in Leviticus 19:15.

Verse Of The Day:

"Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly." (Leviticus 19:15)

Have you ever been treated unfairly because of who you are or what you have? Or maybe you’ve seen someone get special treatment just because they’re popular or important? God has something important to say about this in Leviticus 19:15!

This powerful verse begins with a clear command: “Do not pervert justice.” This means we shouldn’t twist or change what’s fair and right. Then God gives specific examples of how justice gets perverted: by showing “partiality to the poor” or “favoritism to the great.”

Interestingly, God warns against unfair treatment in both directions! We shouldn’t favor someone just because they’re poor and we feel sorry for them, and we shouldn’t favor someone just because they’re rich, powerful, or important. Instead, God calls us to “judge your neighbor fairly,” treating everyone with the same fairness and respect.

When this command was given to the Israelites, it was revolutionary! Most ancient societies had different rules for different people based on their status. But God wanted His people to be different, creating a community where everyone was treated equally under the law.

This verse teaches us that true justice is blind to a person’s status, wealth, or position. Whether someone is rich or poor, popular or unknown, we should treat them with the same fairness and respect. This reflects God’s character, because He doesn’t show favoritism but loves each person equally.

Let’s practice being fair judges in our everyday lives—treating everyone the same way, regardless of who they are!

"Fair Scales" Decision Helper:

Create a simple balance scale using a clothes hanger, string, and two small paper cups or containers. Label one cup “Person A” and the other “Person B.” When you need to make a decision about how to treat different people (like who gets the first turn, who gets to choose the game, etc.), use your scale as a visual reminder to be completely fair. Place a small object in each cup to represent each person, and make your decision based on what’s fair, not on who the person is. Decorate your scale with the words “Judge Fairly” to remember God’s command!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us to be fair with everyone. Help us not to show favoritism based on who someone is or what they have. When we need to make decisions about how to treat others, remind us of Your command to judge fairly. Help us to see others the way You see them—as equally valuable and worthy of fair treatment. Make us people who stand for true justice in our homes, schools, and communities. Amen.

Be fair judges, Faith Force Justice Keepers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God calls us to treat everyone equally, without favoritism or partiality. Let’s practice God’s kind of justice by being fair with everyone we meet!

1 John 3:7

Right Living: Practicing Righteousness Like Jesus

Welcome, Faith Force Truth Defenders! Today, we’re discovering what it means to be righteous and follow Jesus’ example, as taught in 1 John 3:7.

Verse Of The Day:

"Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous." (1 John 3:7)

Have you ever followed someone who took a wrong turn and ended up lost? In 1 John 3:7, the apostle John warns us not to let anyone lead us astray—or in the wrong direction—about what it means to follow Jesus.

This verse begins with “Dear children,” showing how much John cared about the people he was writing to. Just like a loving parent warns their children about danger, John wanted to protect believers from confusion about what it means to be righteous.

John gives us a simple but powerful truth: “The one who does what is right is righteous.” This means that being righteous isn’t just about what we believe or say—it’s about what we do! Real righteousness shows up in our actions and choices.

Notice that John adds “just as he is righteous,” comparing our righteousness to Jesus’ righteousness. Jesus always did what was right, showing perfect love, kindness, honesty, and obedience to God. When we try to live like Jesus did, doing what is right even when it’s difficult, we’re practicing true righteousness.

Some people in John’s time were teaching that what you did didn’t matter as long as you had special knowledge about God. But John makes it clear: if we really follow Jesus, our lives will show it through right actions. We can’t claim to be righteous if we keep choosing to do what’s wrong!

Let’s be people who not only know what’s right but actually do what’s right, following Jesus’ perfect example!

"Right Choice Reminder" Bracelet:

Create a simple bracelet using string or yarn and beads (or paper beads you make by rolling up small strips of paper). Choose beads in two different colors. One color represents “What would Jesus do?” and the other represents “I will do what is right.” As you add each bead, talk about specific right choices you can make this week (like telling the truth, being kind, sharing, obeying parents, etc.). Wear your bracelet as a reminder to practice righteousness by doing what Jesus would do!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for sending Jesus to show us what righteousness looks like. Help us not to be led astray by wrong ideas or bad examples. Give us strength to do what is right, even when it's hard. We want our actions to match our beliefs, showing that we truly follow You. Help us to be righteous in our words and actions, just as Jesus is righteous. Amen.

Choose what’s right, Faith Force Truth Defenders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that true righteousness means doing what is right, just as Jesus did. Let’s not be led astray but keep following His perfect example!

Ephesians 4:24-27

New Life: Putting On God's Character

Welcome, Faith Force Truth Travelers! Today, we’re exploring how to live as God’s new creation and manage our emotions in healthy ways, as taught in Ephesians 4:24-27.

Verse Of The Day:

"Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 'In your anger do not sin': Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold." (Ephesians 4:24-27)

Have you ever put on a costume that made you feel like a completely different person? In Ephesians 4:24-27, Paul tells us that following Jesus is like putting on a whole new self—one that is created to be like God!

When we follow Jesus, we don’t just try to be better people—we actually get to “put on” a brand new way of living that reflects God’s character. This new self is described as having “true righteousness and holiness,” which means we do what’s right and live in ways that honor God.

Paul then gives us some practical ways to live out this new identity:

First, we “put off falsehood and speak truthfully.” This means we stop lying and start being honest with everyone, because we’re all connected like parts of one body. When we lie to others, it’s like lying to ourselves!

Next, Paul gives us wise advice about anger: “In your anger do not sin.” This teaches us that feeling angry isn’t wrong—even Jesus felt angry sometimes! But we need to handle our anger in healthy ways that don’t hurt others or ourselves.

He says, “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” This means we should try to resolve conflicts quickly instead of holding onto bad feelings. When we let anger stay inside us too long, it can grow into something harmful.

Finally, Paul warns us not to “give the devil a foothold.” This means that unresolved anger can become a place where bad attitudes and actions grow, so we need to deal with our feelings in healthy ways.

"New Self" Emotion Management Toolbox:

Decorate a small box or container to be your “New Self Toolbox.” Inside, place index cards with healthy ways to handle strong emotions like anger. Write ideas such as: “Take deep breaths,” “Tell God how I feel,” “Use ‘I feel’ statements instead of blaming,” “Ask for help to solve the problem,” “Take a break to calm down,” and “Forgive quickly.” Decorate each card with symbols that represent your new life in Christ. When you feel angry or upset, use your toolbox to help you respond in ways that honor God!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us a new self that reflects Your character. Help us to be honest in all our words and actions. When we feel angry, show us how to handle those feelings in healthy ways that don't hurt others. Give us the courage to solve problems quickly and not let bad feelings grow. Help us to put on our new self every day, living with the righteousness and holiness that comes from You. Amen.

Keep putting on your new self, Faith Force Truth Travelers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God has given you a brand new identity that reflects His character. Let’s practice honest communication and healthy ways to handle our emotions!

Matthew 25:35-36

Serving Jesus: Finding Him in Those Who Need Help

Welcome, Faith Force Service Champions! Today, we’re discovering how serving others is actually serving Jesus, as taught in Matthew 25:35-36.

Verse Of The Day:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." (Matthew 25:35-36)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet Jesus face to face? In Matthew 25, Jesus shares an amazing secret—when we help people in need, it’s like we’re helping Jesus Himself!

These verses come from a story Jesus told about the final judgment, when He separates people like a shepherd separates sheep from goats. To the “sheep” (those who pleased God), Jesus says these surprising words, explaining six ways they served Him:

“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat” – sharing food with those who are hungry
“I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink” – giving water or drinks to those who need them
“I was a stranger and you invited me in” – welcoming people who are new or don’t have a place to belong
“I needed clothes and you clothed me” – providing clothes for those who don’t have enough
“I was sick and you looked after me” – caring for people who aren’t feeling well
“I was in prison and you came to visit me” – showing kindness to those who are isolated or forgotten

The people are confused because they don’t remember doing these things for Jesus directly. That’s when Jesus reveals the beautiful truth: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).

When we help someone who is hungry, thirsty, lonely, needing clothes, sick, or forgotten, Jesus says it’s like we’re helping Him! This means we can serve Jesus every day by looking for people who need our kindness and help.

"Finding Jesus" Service Scavenger Hunt:

Create a “Finding Jesus” chart with the six needs from Matthew 25:35-36. Draw simple pictures for each need (like a plate of food for hunger, a glass of water for thirst, etc.). Throughout the week, look for ways to meet these needs in your community. When you help someone who is hungry, thirsty, needing welcome, clothes, care when sick, or feeling isolated, color in that section of your chart. Talk about how you “found Jesus” by helping others!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us that when we help others, we're really serving You. Open our eyes to see people around us who are hungry, thirsty, lonely, needing clothes, sick, or forgotten. Give us kind and generous hearts to help them. We want to find You in the people we meet every day. Help us to remember that serving others is serving You. Amen.

Luke 4:18-19

Jesus' Mission: Good News for Everyone

Welcome, Faith Force Freedom Bringers! Today, we’re discovering Jesus’ amazing mission on earth, as He described it in Luke 4:18-19.

Verse Of The Day:

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19)

Imagine going to your hometown and standing up in front of everyone to announce exactly why you came to earth! That’s what Jesus did when He read these powerful words in the synagogue in Nazareth. This was Jesus’ mission statement—His big explanation of why He came to us!

First, Jesus says “The Spirit of the Lord is on me.” This shows that God’s power was with Jesus for His special mission. Then Jesus explains five amazing parts of His mission:

“To proclaim good news to the poor” – Jesus came to bring a wonderful message of hope to those who have little.
“To proclaim freedom for the prisoners” – Jesus releases people who are trapped by sin and wrong choices.
“Recovery of sight for the blind” – Jesus heals both physical blindness and spiritual blindness, helping people see God’s truth.
“To set the oppressed free” – Jesus lifts the heavy burdens from those who are weighed down and mistreated.
“To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor” – Jesus announces that God’s special time of blessing and forgiveness has arrived!

Let’s look for ways to be like Jesus today, bringing good news, freedom, healing, and God’s favor to everyone around us!

"Jesus' Mission" Helping Hands:

Trace your hand on a piece of paper and cut it out. On each finger, write one part of Jesus’ mission from Luke 4:18-19 (Good News, Freedom, Sight, Release, Favor). On the palm, write “Spirit of the Lord.” Decorate your hand and on the back, write specific ways you can help with Jesus’ mission (like sharing with someone who has less, being kind to someone who feels trapped, helping someone understand God’s truth, standing up for someone who’s treated unfairly, or telling others about God’s love). Display your hand to remember how you can be part of Jesus’ mission!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for Your amazing mission to bring good news, freedom, healing, and God's favor to everyone. Thank You for including us in Your work! Give us Your Spirit so we can share Your good news with others. Help us to bring Your freedom to those who feel trapped, Your light to those who can't see the truth, and Your love to those who feel forgotten. Use us to continue Your mission in our world today. Amen.

James 1:27

Pure Religion: Caring for Others and Staying True to God

Welcome, Faith Force Compassion Champions! Today, we’re exploring what true religion looks like according to James 1:27.

Verse Of The Day:

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

Have you ever wondered what God thinks is most important about being a Christian? Is it going to church? Singing worship songs? Reading the Bible? While those things are good, James 1:27 tells us what God sees as “pure and faultless” religion—and it might surprise you!

According to this verse, true religion that pleases God has two important parts. First, we should “look after orphans and widows in their distress.” Orphans are children who don’t have parents, and widows are people whose spouses have died. In Bible times, these groups often had no one to protect or provide for them, making them very vulnerable.

The second part of pure religion is “to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” This means making choices that honor God, even when others around us aren’t. It’s about staying true to what God says is right and not letting wrong influences change our hearts or actions.

What’s amazing about this verse is that it shows us that real faith isn’t just about what we believe—it’s about how we live! God wants us to show our faith through caring actions toward people in need AND through making good choices that keep our hearts pure.

When we care for others and stay faithful to God’s ways, we’re practicing the kind of religion that truly makes God smile!

"Pure Religion" Helping Hands Project:

Create a “Helping Hands” calendar for your family. Draw a large calendar on poster board and decorate it with handprints. Each week, write down one way your family can help someone in need (like collecting food for a food pantry, making cards for elderly neighbors, or donating clothes or toys). Also write down one way you’ll keep your hearts pure (like being careful about what shows you watch or choosing to speak kindly). Check off each activity as you complete it, and celebrate how you’re living out pure religion!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for showing us what pure religion looks like. Help us to care for people who need our help, especially those who might be lonely or struggling. Show us specific ways we can make a difference in their lives. Also help us to make good choices that keep our hearts pure and dedicated to You. May our faith be seen through both our actions toward others and our commitment to Your ways. Amen.

Live out pure religion, Faith Force Compassion Champions! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that true faith means both caring for others AND staying faithful to God. Let’s practice the kind of religion that truly pleases our heavenly Father!

Psalm 82:3-4

God's Defenders: Standing Up for Those in Need

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Protectors! Today, we’re discovering our important mission to defend and rescue others, as taught in Psalm 82:3-4.

Verse Of The Day:

"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." (Psalm 82:3-4)

Have you ever seen a superhero movie where the hero rescues someone in danger? In Psalm 82:3-4, God calls each of us to be like those heroes—defending and rescuing people who need help!

This powerful psalm gives us four important missions: First, we should “defend the weak and the fatherless”—that means standing up for people who might not be able to stand up for themselves, like children without parents. Second, we should “uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed”—that means supporting people who don’t have much and those who are treated unfairly.

Then God gives us two more missions: “Rescue the weak and needy” and “deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” This means we should actively help people who are in trouble and protect them from those who might want to harm them.

When we follow these verses, we’re acting like God Himself! Throughout the Bible, we see that God always defends those who are vulnerable and rescues those in trouble. As God’s children, we get to join Him in this important work of protecting and helping others.

Even as kids, you can be God’s defenders! Every time you include someone who’s left out, share with someone who has less, or stand up to a bully, you’re following God’s commands in these verses.

"God's Defenders" Shield Craft:

Create a colorful shield from cardboard or sturdy paper. In the center, write “God’s Defender” and decorate the shield with the words “Defend,” “Uphold,” “Rescue,” and “Deliver” in different sections. Add symbols like hands helping others, hearts, or other designs that represent protecting and helping others. Hang your shield in your room as a reminder that God has called you to defend and help those in need!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for calling us to be Your defenders in this world. Help us to see people who need our help and give us courage to stand up for them. Show us how we can defend the weak, uphold the cause of those treated unfairly, rescue people in trouble, and deliver them from harm. Make us brave and compassionate like You. Help us to be Your hands and feet, bringing Your justice and protection to others. Amen.

Be brave defenders, Faith Force Justice Protectors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God has called you to stand up for others and help those in need. Let’s follow God’s example by protecting and rescuing people all around us!

Zechariah 7:9-10

True Religion: Showing Mercy and Compassion to All

Welcome, Faith Force Compassion Warriors! Today, we’re learning about what God really wants from us: hearts full of mercy and compassion, as taught in Zechariah 7:9-10.

Verse Of The Day:

"This is what the LORD Almighty said: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.'" (Zechariah 7:9-10)

Have you ever wondered what makes God happiest about how we live? Is it when we go to church? When we sing worship songs? Those things are good, but Zechariah 7:9-10 shows us what really matters to God—how we treat other people!

When the prophet Zechariah shared these words, God’s people were asking questions about religious rituals. But God wanted them to know that true religion isn’t just about ceremonies—it’s about how we treat others with fairness, kindness, and compassion.

First, God calls us to “administer true justice,” which means being fair in all our dealings. Then, He tells us to “show mercy and compassion,” which means being kind and understanding, especially when others are hurting.

God specifically mentions four groups of people we should never mistreat: widows (people who have lost their spouses), the fatherless (children without parents), foreigners (people from different places), and the poor. These were often the most vulnerable people in society, and God wanted His people to take special care of them.

Finally, God says “do not plot evil against each other.” This means we shouldn’t plan ways to hurt others or get even when someone upsets us.

When we show justice, mercy, and compassion to everyone around us, we’re living the way God really wants us to live!

"Compassion Cards" Kindness Project:

Create several colorful cards with kind messages or offers to help. Write “Showing God’s Compassion” at the top of each card. Inside, write specific ways to help others, like “I can carry your groceries,” “I can be your friend,” or “I can share my toys.” Decorate the cards and then give them to people who might need extra kindness or help. Keep track of how your compassion makes others smile!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us what truly matters to You. Help us to show justice, mercy, and compassion to everyone we meet. Open our eyes to see people who need extra kindness, especially those who might be lonely or struggling. Keep us from being mean to others or thinking of ways to get even. Help us to be Your hands and feet, showing Your love through our actions. Amen.

Show compassion every day, Faith Force Compassion Warriors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God calls us to treat everyone with justice, mercy, and kindness. Let’s make God smile by the way we care for others!

Isaiah 1:17

Do Good: Learning to Seek Justice and Help Others

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Heroes! Today, we’re discovering how to live out God’s call to do good in the world through Isaiah 1:17.

Verse Of The Day:

"Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." (Isaiah 1:17)

Have you ever wondered what God wants you to do each day? Isaiah 1:17 gives us a clear picture! This verse is like God’s to-do list for His people, showing us how to live in ways that please Him and help others.

First, God tells us to “learn to do right.” This means we need to practice doing good things until they become habits. Just like learning to ride a bike or play an instrument takes practice, doing what’s right takes practice too!

Then God gives us specific actions to take: “seek justice” means to actively look for ways to make things fair. “Defend the oppressed” means to stand up for people who are treated unfairly. “Take up the cause of the fatherless” means to help children who don’t have parents. “Plead the case of the widow” means to care for people who have lost their spouses.

When Isaiah wrote these words, widows and orphans often had no one to protect them. God wanted His people to be their helpers and defenders. Today, God still wants us to notice people who need help and to take action to care for them.

When we follow Isaiah 1:17, we’re showing God’s love in practical ways. We become His hands and feet in the world, making a real difference in people’s lives!

"Helping Hands" Mobile:

Trace your hands on different colors of paper and cut them out. On each hand, write one way you can help others based on Isaiah 1:17 (like “Share my toys,” “Include everyone at recess,” “Be kind to new kids,” “Help someone who is sad”). Punch a hole at the bottom of each hand, tie string through it, and hang all the hands from a hanger or stick to create a mobile. Hang it up to remind your family of ways you can be God’s helpers!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us how to do good in the world. Help us learn to do what's right and to seek justice. Give us courage to defend those who are treated unfairly. Open our eyes to see people who need our help, and show us ways we can make a difference. Help us to be Your hands and feet, showing Your love to everyone around us. Amen.

Keep doing good, Faith Force Justice Heroes! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God calls us to actively seek justice and help others. Let’s practice doing right every day and be the helpers God wants us to be!

Proverbs 31:8-9

Speak Up: Being a Voice for Those Who Cannot Speak

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Advocates! Today, we’re learning about our responsibility to speak up for others, as taught in Proverbs 31:8-9.

Verse Of The Day:

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." (Proverbs 31:8-9)

Imagine seeing someone at school being treated unfairly, but they’re too afraid to say anything. What would you do? Would you speak up for them or stay quiet?

Proverbs 31:8-9 gives us clear direction on what God wants us to do. These powerful verses teach us that God calls us to use our voices to help others who may not be able to speak up for themselves. This might include people who are poor, those who are treated unfairly, or anyone who needs someone to stand up for them.

These verses were originally instructions to King Lemuel from his mother, teaching him how a good leader should act. But they apply to all of us! God wants everyone, not just kings, to defend those who are “destitute” (people who have very little) and to protect the rights of the “poor and needy” (people who need help).

When we speak up for others and defend those who need help, we’re acting like Jesus. He always stood up for people who were overlooked or treated unfairly. By following these verses, we show God’s love and justice to the world around us.

Let’s practice being brave and using our voices to help others. Even small acts of standing up for someone can make a big difference in their lives!

"Speak Up" Megaphone Craft:

Create a colorful paper megaphone by rolling a piece of construction paper into a cone shape and securing it with tape or glue. Decorate it with the words “Speak Up!” and phrases from Proverbs 31:8-9. Around the outside, write ways you can speak up for others (like “Be kind to new kids,” “Tell an adult if someone is being bullied,” or “Share with those who have less”). Keep your megaphone as a reminder to use your voice to help others!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us voices that can make a difference. Help us to be brave and speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Show us ways we can defend others who are treated unfairly. Give us courage to stand up for what is right, even when it's hard. Help us to be like Jesus and show Your love and justice to everyone around us. Amen.

Use your voice for good, Faith Force Justice Advocates! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God calls us to speak up and defend those who need our help. Let’s be brave and stand for justice, just as God teaches us in His Word!

Isaiah 30:18

The God Who Waits: Blessed Are Those Who Wait for Him

Welcome, Faith Force Patience Builders! Today, we’re discovering the beautiful truth about God’s patience and justice from Isaiah 30:18.

Verse Of The Day:

"Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" (Isaiah 30:18)

Have you ever had to wait for something special? Maybe a birthday, a holiday, or a special trip? Waiting can be hard, but this verse tells us something amazing—God Himself waits too!

Isaiah 30:18 reveals that God “longs” (really wants) to be kind and gracious to His people. He’s actually waiting for the perfect moment to show compassion. Isn’t that wonderful? The God who made everything is patiently waiting for the right time to bless you!

This verse also reminds us that God is a God of justice. This means He always does what is right and fair. Sometimes we might wonder why God doesn’t act right away when we pray. This verse helps us understand that God’s timing is perfect because His justice is perfect.

The most exciting part comes at the end: “Blessed are all who wait for him!” When we patiently trust God’s timing and wait for Him to work in our lives, He promises that we will be blessed. We might need to wait, but God promises it will be worth it!

Let’s practice patience today, knowing that God Himself is patient with us, and that those who wait for Him will receive His wonderful blessings!

Patience Jar:

Create a special waiting jar! Decorate a clear jar with the words “Waiting for God’s Blessings.” Inside, place small slips of paper with things you’re waiting for God to do or prayers you’re waiting to be answered. Each day, shake the jar and remember that God is working while you wait. When a prayer is answered, remove that paper and put it in a special “God Answered” container to celebrate His faithfulness!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being patient with us and for waiting for the perfect time to show us Your grace and compassion. Help us to trust Your timing and to wait patiently for You. Thank You for being a God of perfect justice. We believe that You are working even when we can't see it. Bless us as we wait for You. Amen.

Wait with hope, Faith Force Patience Builders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God longs to be gracious to you and is working out His perfect plan. Let’s be patient and trust His timing, knowing that those who wait for Him are truly blessed!

Jeremiah 9:24

True Wisdom: Understanding and Knowing God

Welcome, Faith Force Wisdom Seekers! Today, we’re exploring what truly matters in life according to Jeremiah 9:24.

Verse Of The Day:

"But let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 9:24)

Imagine someone who always brags about being the fastest runner, the smartest student, or having the most toys. Those things might seem important, but they don’t last forever! In Jeremiah 9:24, God tells us what’s really worth celebrating in our lives.

Instead of bragging about how smart, strong, or rich we are, God says we should boast about one thing: knowing and understanding Him! Knowing God is the most valuable treasure anyone could have. When we truly know God, we understand that He is kind, just, and righteous in everything He does.

This verse shows us three amazing qualities of God: He exercises kindness (showing love and mercy), justice (making things right), and righteousness (always doing what is good and true). And God doesn’t just have these qualities—He delights in them! That means God takes joy in being kind, fair, and good.

When we focus on knowing God and His wonderful character, we begin to value what He values. We start to delight in kindness, justice, and righteousness too! This is true wisdom—not just having lots of knowledge, but understanding what really matters to God.

Let’s make knowing God our greatest goal and celebrate the wonderful relationship we can have with Him!

"I Know God" Bookmarks:

Create special bookmarks by cutting strips of colorful cardstock or construction paper. Write “I know God is KIND” on one bookmark, “I know God is JUST” on another, and “I know God is RIGHTEOUS” on a third. Decorate them with symbols like hearts (for kindness), scales (for justice), and a crown (for righteousness). Use these bookmarks in your Bible or favorite books as reminders of what you know about God’s character!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for letting us know You and understand Your character. Help us to value knowing You more than anything else in this world. Thank You for showing kindness, justice, and righteousness. Help us to delight in these things just as You do. May knowing You be what we celebrate most in our lives. Amen.

Keep seeking to know God better, Faith Force Wisdom Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that true wisdom comes from understanding who God is and what He values. Let’s celebrate knowing our amazing Lord who delights in kindness, justice, and righteousness!

Psalm 9:7-8

God's Righteous Throne: Eternal Justice for All

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Defenders! Today, we’re discovering how God rules with perfect justice forever, as revealed in Psalm 9:7-8.

Verse Of The Day:

"The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity." (Psalm 9:7-8)

Imagine the fairest judge you can think of—someone who always knows the truth, never plays favorites, and makes perfect decisions every time. Now imagine that this judge will be in charge forever! That’s what God is like, according to Psalm 9:7-8.

This beautiful psalm tells us that God sits on His throne as the perfect judge. Unlike earthly rulers who come and go, God reigns forever! His kingdom will never end, and His justice is eternal. When David wrote these words, he was celebrating that God’s rule is always righteous and fair.

God judges the world with “righteousness” (doing what is right) and “equity” (treating everyone fairly). This means God sees everything clearly, understands every situation perfectly, and makes decisions that are completely just. No one can trick God or hide the truth from Him.

When we see unfair things happening in our world, we can remember that God is still on His throne. He sees every injustice, and in His perfect timing, He will make all things right. We can trust His judgment because it is always fair and good.

Let’s live knowing that God’s justice is certain, thanking Him for ruling with righteousness, and trying to treat others fairly just like He does!

Royal Throne Reminder:

Create a simple throne craft using a small box or cardboard. Cover it with gold or purple paper (colors of royalty) and decorate it with the words “God Rules Forever” or “Perfect Justice.” You can add jewels, stars, or other decorations to make it look royal. Place it somewhere visible to remind your family that God is always on His throne, ruling with perfect justice!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for reigning forever with perfect righteousness and fairness. When we see unfair things happen, help us remember that You are still on Your throne. Thank You that You see everything and will make all things right. Help us to trust Your justice and to treat others fairly as You do. Amen.

Trust in God’s justice, Faith Force Justice Defenders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God reigns forever with perfect righteousness. Let’s live confidently knowing that His justice is certain and His throne is eternal.

Isaiah 61:8

Justice and Fairness: God's Character of Righteousness

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Champions! Today, we’re exploring how God loves justice and hates wrongdoing, as revealed in Isaiah 61:8.

Verse Of The Day:

"For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them." (Isaiah 61:8)

Imagine playing a game where someone keeps changing the rules to win unfairly. It doesn’t feel good, does it? Now imagine playing with someone who always follows the rules and makes sure everyone is treated fairly—that’s much better!

Isaiah 61:8 shows us that God loves justice and fairness. He hates when people steal, cheat, or do wrong things. God is completely fair in everything He does, and He wants us to be fair too!

In this verse, God also makes an amazing promise. Because He is faithful, He will reward His people and make an “everlasting covenant” with them. A covenant is like a special promise that lasts forever. God promises to always be with His people and to bring justice where there is unfairness.

When we see unfair things happening, we can remember that God sees them too, and He cares deeply about making things right. As God’s children, we can follow His example by being fair, honest, and standing up for those who are treated unfairly.

Let’s commit to loving justice like God does, treating others fairly, and trusting that God will keep His promises to us forever!

Justice Scales Craft:

Create simple balance scales using a paper plate, string, and two small paper cups. Decorate the plate with the words “God Loves Justice.” Talk about how the scales stay balanced when things are fair. You can use small objects like beans or buttons to demonstrate balance. Display your scales as a reminder that God loves fairness and justice!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for loving justice and hating wrongdoing. Help us to be fair and honest in everything we do. When we see unfair things happening, give us courage to stand up for what's right. Thank You for Your faithfulness and for the everlasting covenant You've made with us. Amen.

Deuteronomy 32:4

The Rock: God's Perfect Faithfulness

Welcome, Faith Force Truth Seekers! Today, we’re discovering how God is our perfect, faithful Rock, as shared in Deuteronomy 32:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he." (Deuteronomy 32:4)

Imagine building a sandcastle on the beach. No matter how beautiful it looks, when the waves come, it washes away! Now imagine building your house on a giant, solid rock. Even when storms come, your house stays strong and safe!

Deuteronomy 32:4 teaches us that God is like that rock—perfectly stable, trustworthy, and never changing. When Moses called God “the Rock,” he was helping people understand that God is our strong foundation. Everything God does is perfect and right. He never makes mistakes, and He’s always fair and faithful.

We can trust God completely because He never does anything wrong. When the world feels shaky and uncertain, we can stand firm knowing that God is our Rock. His justice and faithfulness never fail, and He keeps every promise He makes.

Let’s build our lives on God’s truth, remembering that He is perfectly reliable in every situation. When we trust in God our Rock, we’ll stand strong no matter what storms come our way!

Rock Painting Reminders:

Find a smooth rock and paint it with the words “God is my Rock” or “Perfect & Faithful.” Decorate it with symbols of strength like mountains, castles, or anchors. Keep your rock where you’ll see it every day as a reminder that God is always faithful and strong!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being our perfect, faithful Rock. When life feels uncertain, help us remember that we can always count on You. Thank You for never doing wrong and for always keeping Your promises. Help us to build our lives on Your truth. Amen.

Stand firm on the Rock, Faith Force Truth Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God is perfectly faithful and never changes. Let’s build our lives on His solid foundation and trust in His perfect ways.

Psalm 89:14

God’s Strong Foundation: Built on Love and Justice

Welcome, Faith Force Builders!
Today, we’re learning about the strong foundation of God’s throne—justice and love! Psalm 89:14 reminds us that our mighty God rules with fairness and kindness, and we can too!

Verse Of The Day:

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; love and faithfulness go before You.” (Psalm 89:14)

Picture building a super tall tower of blocks. What happens if the bottom is wobbly? It falls! But if the foundation is strong—it stands tall and proud. That’s what God’s throne is like!

God’s kingdom is built on two super-powerful blocks: justice and righteousness. But guess what marches in front of His throne? Love and faithfulness! That means everything God does is right and fair—and covered in love.

We can be like that too. When we treat people fairly and always choose what’s right—even if no one is watching—we’re building strong lives that look like God’s throne! And when we add love and kindness on top, wow—we’re unstoppable!

Foundation Tower of Truth

Build a block tower or use paper to make one! On the bottom blocks, write “Justice” and “Righteousness.” On the top ones, write “Love” and “Faithfulness.” Decorate the blocks and stack them to show how God builds His kingdom—and how we can build our lives!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for ruling with justice and love. Help us build our lives on doing what’s right and being kind to others. Let our hearts be filled with Your love and truth every day. Amen.

Stay strong, Faith Force Builders! Just like God’s throne is built on justice and love, you can build a life that honors Him too. Keep stacking goodness one block at a time—until our next Divine Dispatch!

Amos 5:24

Let Justice Roll: Standing Up for What’s Right

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Seekers!
Today, we’re learning how God wants us to live with justice and fairness—standing up for what’s right just like the heroes in the Bible did!

Verse Of The Day:

“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24)

Imagine a superhero who doesn’t just fly around looking cool—but who steps in to help when someone’s being treated unfairly. That’s what you can be!

In Amos 5:24, God tells His people that it’s not just singing songs or saying prayers that pleases Him—it’s living right, being fair, and helping others. Justice should flow from us like a river that never stops!

When we treat others with kindness, speak up when something’s wrong, and do what’s right even when it’s hard—we become true heroes in God’s eyes. Righteousness means making choices that line up with God’s way. And justice means helping others, especially when they’re being left out or hurt.

Let’s be the ones who keep justice rolling and kindness flowing, just like a never-ending river of goodness!

Justice River Craft

Grab some blue paper or color your own long “river.” On little paper rocks, write or draw things that show justice—like “Sharing,” “Helping,” “Being Fair,” or “Speaking Up.” Glue the rocks along the river as reminders to live out justice every day!

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, help us to love what is right and fair. Teach us to stand up for others, treat everyone kindly, and live in a way that makes You smile. Let Your justice flow through us like a mighty river. Amen.

2 Corinthians 10:17-18

Boasting in the Lord: Finding True Confidence in God

Welcome, Faith Force Confidence Builders! Today, we’re learning about how our true confidence comes from boasting in the Lord, as shared in 2 Corinthians 10:17-18.

Verse Of The Day:

"But, ‘Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.’ For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." (2 Corinthians 10:17-18)

Imagine someone who always talks about their achievements but never gives credit to those who helped them. Now imagine someone who quietly works hard and gives all the glory to God—that’s what true confidence looks like! 2 Corinthians 10:17-18 reminds us that instead of boasting in ourselves, we should boast in the Lord, who gives us all the strength and gifts we have.

True greatness isn’t found in bragging about what we’ve done but in giving all glory to God. When we rely on Him and serve others humbly, God honors us. Our confidence doesn’t come from what others think of us, but from the fact that God sees us and approves of us because we follow Him with a sincere heart.

Let’s commit to boasting in the Lord, remembering that all our gifts and talents are from Him, and to serve with humble hearts, knowing that our true approval comes from Him.

Glory to God Banner Craft:

Following Jesus: Serving with Purpose

Verse Of The Day:

"Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me." (John 12:26)

Imagine being invited to walk alongside someone you admire, someone who leads with love and wisdom. Jesus invites us to follow Him and serve others with the same love He has shown us. John 12:26 teaches us that when we serve Jesus, we follow Him on His path, and He honors us as His faithful servants.

Serving Jesus means being willing to follow His lead, no matter where it takes us. It’s about choosing to act with love, humility, and kindness, just as Jesus did. When we serve with a heart full of faith and love, we are doing the work God calls us to, bringing honor to Him in everything we do.

Let’s commit to serving Jesus every day, following His example of love, and knowing that He honors us for our faithfulness. Where He leads, we will follow, and we will serve with purpose and joy.

Matthew 23:11-12

True Greatness: Serving Others with Humility

Welcome, Faith Force Humble Leaders! Today, we’re learning about how true greatness is found in serving others, as shared in Matthew 23:11-12.

Verse Of The Day:

"The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." (Matthew 23:11-12)

Imagine being the leader of a group, not by bossing others around, but by humbling yourself and serving with love. That’s what Matthew 23:11-12 teaches us. Jesus says that true greatness is not about being in charge, but about serving others with humility and kindness. Those who put others first are the ones who truly lead in God’s eyes.

Living humbly doesn’t mean we’re weak or small—it means we choose to love others and help them in ways that show God’s heart. When we choose to serve with humility, we reflect Jesus’ example, who came to serve, not to be served. He shows us that true leadership comes through love, sacrifice, and caring for others.

Let’s follow Jesus’ example by serving with humility, loving others, and leading through our actions, knowing that true greatness is found in serving God and others.

Servant Leader Star Craft:

1 Thessalonians 2:4

Living to Please God: Honoring Him in All We Do

Welcome, Faith Force Truth Seekers! Today, we’re learning about how we should live to please God and honor Him with our actions, as shared in 1 Thessalonians 2:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts." (1 Thessalonians 2:4)

Imagine being given an important job, and your only goal is to do it well, no matter what others think. That’s what 1 Thessalonians 2:4 teaches us—our actions should be focused on pleasing God, not others. When we live to honor God, we’re trusting that He knows what’s best for us, and our hearts are aligned with His will.

Living to please God means we act with honesty, love, and integrity, even when it’s hard. It’s not about seeking approval from people, but about reflecting God’s truth and sharing His love with the world. By doing this, we show that our hearts belong to Him and that we are living for something greater than the praise of others.

Let’s commit to living each day with a heart that seeks to please God, knowing that He is the one who sees our hearts and tests our intentions.

John 5:44

Seeking God’s Glory: Finding True Honor in Him

Welcome, Faith Force Glory Seekers! Today, we’re learning about how we should seek honor from God rather than from others, as shared in John 5:44.

Verse Of The Day:

"How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?" (John 5:44)

Imagine a race where everyone is looking to each other for approval, but the true prize is waiting at the finish line, given by the referee. That’s what John 5:44 teaches us—we often seek approval or honor from others, but the true glory comes from God alone. Jesus reminds us that our worth and honor should be rooted in how God sees us, not in how others praise or judge us.

When we live to please God and seek His glory, we focus on what truly matters. The praise of people may feel good for a moment, but only God’s approval lasts forever. By seeking His glory, we align our hearts with His will and find fulfillment in His love, not in temporary accolades.

Let’s live with hearts that seek honor from God alone, focusing on His truth and finding our worth in His eyes. When we do, we will experience His joy and peace, knowing that we are living for the one who truly matters.

Glory Seekers Craft:

Create a crown with “Seek God’s Glory” written on a single-line banner at the top. On the crown, write words like “Truth,” “Faith,” and “Honor,” and decorate it with bright, royal colors. Use this crown as a reminder to seek God’s approval above all else.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for reminding us that true honor comes from You. Help us to live for Your glory and not seek the praise of others. Teach us to find our worth in Your love and to always honor You in all that we do. Amen.

Matthew 6:1-4

Giving in Secret: The Heart of True Generosity

Welcome, Faith Force Generous Givers! Today, we’re learning about giving with a pure heart, without seeking praise from others, as shared in Matthew 6:1-4.

Verse Of The Day:

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (Matthew 6:1-4)

magine giving a gift to someone and not telling anyone about it, not seeking praise, but simply doing it because you want to help. That’s what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:1-4. He shows us that true generosity is done in secret—without wanting attention or recognition. When we give, whether it’s money, time, or kindness, it’s about the love in our hearts and not the praise of others.

Jesus calls us to be humble in our giving. When we give in secret, God sees our hearts and rewards us. He values the quiet acts of kindness and generosity, knowing that we are serving others out of love, not for recognition.

Luke 22:26-27

True Greatness: Leading by Serving Others

Welcome, Faith Force Servant Leaders! Today, we’re learning about how true greatness comes from serving others, as shared in Luke 22:26-27.

Verse Of The Day:

"But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves." (Luke 22:26-27)

Imagine a leader who doesn’t boss others around but instead, chooses to serve, help, and care for those in their care. That’s what true greatness looks like! Luke 22:26-27 teaches us that in God’s kingdom, the greatest person is not the one who gets the most attention but the one who serves others with love and humility.

Jesus, the greatest of all, didn’t come to be served—He came to serve. Even as the Son of God, He humbly washed His disciples’ feet, showing us that true leadership is found in serving others. We are called to serve with love and kindness, leading by example and caring for the needs of others.

Let’s follow Jesus’ example by serving others with humility and love, showing the world that true greatness is found in serving, not ruling.

Servant Leader Badge Craft:

Create a simple badge with “Servant Leader” written on a single-line banner. Around the badge, write words like “Kindness,” “Love,” and “Help” to reflect the true greatness that comes from serving. Decorate it with bright, colorful designs to represent Jesus’ humility.

Dear Jesus, thank You for showing us what true greatness looks like. Help us to serve others with humility and love, just as You did. Teach us to be servant leaders in our homes, schools, and communities. Amen.

Loving in Action: Helping Those in Need

Welcome, Faith Force Love Action Heroes! Today, we’re learning about how true love means helping others, especially those in need, as shared in 1 John 3:17-18.

Verse Of The Day:

"If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:17-18)

Imagine having a lot of toys, food, or clothes, but seeing a friend who has none. Wouldn’t it be loving to share what we have to help them? 1 John 3:17-18 reminds us that love isn’t just about saying kind things—it’s about showing it through our actions. When we help others, we reflect God’s love in a real and tangible way.

Loving others means not only feeling sorry when they are in need but taking action to help. Whether it’s sharing a snack, offering a hand, or showing kindness, we can live out our love by serving those around us. The love of God fills our hearts, and when we show that love to others, we bring joy and peace to the world.

Let’s live out the love of God by helping those in need and being kind to everyone around us, reflecting His heart in everything we do.

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." (Romans 12:10-11)

Imagine being part of a team where everyone encourages and honors each other. Romans 12:10-11 teaches us to live this way—honoring others and putting their needs before our own. True love and honor don’t seek praise for ourselves; instead, we lift others up, showing them God’s love and care.

Jesus calls us to live with zeal and passion for Him, serving others with all our hearts. Living with zeal means doing everything we can to honor God, whether it’s helping a friend, serving in our community, or living out our faith daily.

Verse Of The Day:

"Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.’" (Mark 9:35)

Imagine being the leader of a group but choosing to serve everyone else instead of sitting in a position of power. That’s exactly what Jesus did! Mark 9:35 teaches us that greatness in God’s kingdom isn’t about being the best or the most powerful—it’s about serving others with humility and love.

Jesus turned the world’s idea of greatness upside down. He didn’t come to be served; He came to serve. By choosing to serve, Jesus showed us that true leadership is found in putting others first, showing kindness, and helping those in need. We are called to follow His example and serve those around us with a heart full of love.

Verse Of The Day:

"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." (Galatians 5:13)

Imagine having the freedom to do anything you want, but choosing instead to help and serve others. That’s what Galatians 5:13 teaches us! Jesus gave us freedom, but not to be selfish. Instead, He calls us to use that freedom to serve others with love and humility.

Serving others means putting their needs first, being kind when it’s not easy, and showing God’s love through our actions. When we serve with a humble heart, we reflect Jesus’ love and share His freedom with those around us. This kind of service brings peace, joy, and unity to the world.

Let’s live freely by choosing to serve others in love, just as Jesus served us.

Following Jesus’ Example: Responding with Love and Patience

Welcome, Faith Force Followers! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus responded with patience and love, even when He was treated unfairly, as shared in 1 Peter 2:21-23.

Verse Of The Day:

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. ‘He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.’ When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly." (1 Peter 2:21-23)

Imagine being treated unfairly, yet choosing to respond with kindness and love instead of anger. That’s what Jesus did for us! 1 Peter 2:21-23 teaches us that Jesus endured suffering without retaliation, showing us how to respond when we face difficulty.

Jesus did not sin or lie, and even when He was insulted, He chose not to fight back. Instead, He trusted God, knowing that God would judge justly. By following Jesus’ example, we learn to be patient, kind, and trusting, even in difficult situations.

Let’s follow Jesus’ example in our everyday lives, choosing to respond with love, patience, and trust in God’s justice, no matter what happens around us.

The Gift of Jesus: Rich in Love, Poor for Our Sake

Welcome, Faith Force Generous Hearts! Today, we’re learning about the incredible gift of Jesus, who gave up everything so that we could be rich in His love, as shared in 2 Corinthians 8:9.

Verse Of The Day:

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." (2 Corinthians 8:9)

Imagine a king with all the riches in the world, but instead of keeping everything for himself, he chooses to give it all away to help others. That’s what Jesus did for us! 2 Corinthians 8:9 tells us that though Jesus was rich in glory and power as the Son of God, He became poor for our sake. He gave up everything to bring us into the richness of God’s love and grace.

Jesus’ sacrifice wasn’t just about His physical wealth—He gave up His heavenly position and came to live among us, teaching us the true meaning of generosity, love, and sacrifice. Through His poverty, we receive the riches of His love, salvation, and eternal life. His selflessness teaches us that true wealth is not found in material things, but in the love and grace we share with others.

Let’s follow Jesus’ example by living generously, sharing God’s love with everyone we meet, and making the world richer in kindness and compassion.

The Greatest Servant: Following Jesus’ Example

Welcome, Faith Force Servant Leaders! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus came to serve, not to be served, and how we can follow His example, as shared in Mark 10:45.

Verse Of The Day:

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45)

Imagine being the most important person in the room, but instead of demanding attention, you choose to serve others. That’s exactly what Jesus did! Mark 10:45 reminds us that even though Jesus is the Son of God, He came to serve and not to be served. He showed us that true greatness comes from serving others, not from being in charge or seeking glory.

Jesus’ ultimate act of service was giving His life for us, showing the greatest love anyone could ever show. When we serve others with humility and love, we reflect Jesus’ heart and share His kindness with the world. Serving doesn’t always mean doing big things—it can be as simple as helping a friend, listening, or offering a kind word.

Let’s follow Jesus’ example and look for ways to serve others every day, knowing that when we do, we are living out His love and showing the world what true greatness looks like.

The Silent Savior: Trusting in God’s Plan

Welcome, Faith Force Trust Builders! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus remained silent and trusted God’s plan for His life, as shared in Isaiah 53:7.

Verse Of The Day:

"He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7)

Imagine someone being unfairly treated, yet they remain calm and silent, trusting that the right thing will happen in the end. That’s what Jesus did for us! Isaiah 53:7 tells us that even though He was mistreated, Jesus did not defend Himself. He trusted in God’s plan, even when it was difficult, knowing that God’s will was greater than anything He faced.

Jesus’ silence teaches us that sometimes, trusting God means not reacting in anger or frustration. Instead, we can trust in His wisdom and wait for His perfect timing. When we face challenges, we can follow Jesus’ example, staying calm and trusting that God’s plan for us is good.

Let’s choose to trust in God’s plan, even when we don’t understand everything. Just like Jesus, we can find peace in knowing that God is in control.

Imagine carrying a heavy load, feeling tired and worn out, but then someone gently helps you lift it, making it easier to bear. That’s what Jesus offers us! Matthew 11:29 tells us that when we come to Him, He gives us rest for our souls. Jesus doesn’t burden us with impossible expectations—He invites us to learn from Him and rest in His care.

Jesus is gentle and humble, and when we follow His example, we find peace. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Jesus is there to help us carry the load. When we trust Him and follow His guidance, He lightens our burdens and fills our hearts with rest and joy.

Verse Of The Day:

"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you." (John 13:14-15)

Imagine a teacher who not only teaches but also serves their students, humbling themselves to help in every way. That’s what Jesus did! John 13:14-15 reminds us that even though Jesus was the Lord and Teacher, He humbly washed His disciples’ feet as an example of how we should serve one another. Jesus, the King of all, chose to serve with love, humility, and care.

Serving others isn’t about what we can get; it’s about what we can give. Jesus showed us that when we serve with a loving heart, we reflect His character.

Philippians 2:5-8

Humility Like Jesus: Putting Others First

Welcome, Faith Force Humble Hearts! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus showed us what true humility looks like, as shared in Philippians 2:5-8.

Verse Of The Day:

"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:5-8)

Imagine being a king with all the power in the world, but instead of using that power for yourself, you choose to serve and help others. That’s what Jesus did! Philippians 2:5-8 shows us that, even though Jesus was God, He humbled Himself by coming to earth as a servant, choosing to love and serve others over His own comfort.

Jesus’ humility teaches us to put others first, to be kind when it’s difficult, and to serve others with a heart full of love. He didn’t seek glory or power for Himself, but instead, He lived a life of sacrifice and service, even to the point of dying on the cross for us. Jesus shows us that true greatness comes through humility and love.

Honoring others means appreciating their efforts, whether they’re working hard in school, helping at home, or being kind to others.

Imagine a friend who is struggling, and instead of ignoring them, you walk alongside them, helping to lift their burdens. That’s what Galatians 6:1-2 teaches us—when someone falls or struggles, we are called to help them gently and with love. We don’t judge them; instead, we restore them with kindness, compassion, and encouragement.

When we carry each other’s burdens, we reflect Jesus’ heart. He bore our burdens on the cross and calls us to do the same by supporting one another. It’s a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and with God’s help, we can walk through life together, lifting each other up.

Ephesians 4:2-3 reminds us that our goal is to live in peaceful unity, choosing to love and support each other, no matter the differences.

Imagine a world where everyone chooses peace over arguments, kindness over anger, and love over selfishness. That’s what God wants for us! Hebrews 12:14 reminds us that we should do our best to live in peace with others because peace is part of living a holy life.

Living in peace doesn’t mean we always agree, but it does mean we choose kindness, patience, and forgiveness instead of holding grudges or fighting back. When we walk in holiness and reflect God’s love, others will see His presence in us.

Let’s make peace a daily choice by being patient, forgiving, and showing love even when it’s hard. When we do, we bring God’s light into the world and create stronger, kinder relationships.

Create a path-shaped craft with “Pursue Peace” written on a single-line banner at the top. Along the path, write words like “Kindness,” “Forgiveness,” “Patience,” and “Love.” Decorate the craft with peaceful colors as a reminder to walk in God’s peace every day.

1 Peter 3:8-9

United in Love: Choosing Blessings Over Revenge

Welcome, Faith Force Unity Builders! Today, we’re learning about how God calls us to live in harmony, showing love and kindness even when it’s hard, as shared in 1 Peter 3:8-9.

Verse Of The Day:

"Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." (1 Peter 3:8-9)

Imagine being on a team where everyone supports each other instead of arguing or competing. That’s how God wants us to live! 1 Peter 3:8-9 teaches us to be like-minded, humble, and full of love. Instead of fighting back when someone is unkind, we are called to respond with a blessing—choosing love over anger.

Living in unity means caring for others, being quick to forgive, and showing kindness, even when it’s difficult. When we choose to bless instead of insult, we reflect Jesus’ love and peace. God promises that when we do this, He blesses us in return!

Let’s commit to living in harmony, forgiving quickly, and choosing to bless others just as Jesus blesses us. When we do, we build a world filled with God’s love and unity.

Restored in Christ: Seeing Others as Family

Welcome, Faith Force Restorers! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus brings people together and makes us part of God’s family, as shared in Philemon 1:15-16.

Verse Of The Day:

"Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord." (Philemon 1:15-16)

Imagine losing something special, only to have it returned to you even better than before! That’s what happened in Philemon’s story. Paul reminded him that Onesimus, who had once been his servant, was now more than that—he was a brother in Christ! This shows us that when we follow Jesus, our relationships change. We are no longer just friends or neighbors—we are family in God’s kingdom!

God’s love doesn’t see people as less or more important—everyone is valuable. No matter what mistakes someone has made, Jesus restores relationships and brings people together. He teaches us to treat each other with love, forgiveness, and respect because we are all part of His family forever.

Let’s live as brothers and sisters in Christ, welcoming others with kindness, forgiving easily, and seeing everyone through God’s eyes of love.

Family in Christ Puzzle Craft:

Create a puzzle with “God’s Family” written on a single-line banner at the top. Each puzzle piece represents a person and has words like “Forgiveness,” “Love,” and “Unity.” Decorate it with bright colors to remind yourself that Jesus makes us one family.

Dear God, thank You for bringing us together as one family in Christ. Help us to treat others with love, kindness, and respect, just as You do. Teach us to welcome and forgive, seeing everyone as a brother or sister in You. Amen.

Colossians 1:20-22

Made Right with God: Reconciled Through Christ

Welcome, Faith Force Peace Makers! Today, we’re learning about how Jesus restored our relationship with God, as shared in Colossians 1:20-22.

Verse Of The Day:

"And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation." (Colossians 1:20-22)

Imagine being lost in a deep forest, not knowing which way to go. Then, someone comes and leads you back to safety. That’s what Jesus did for us! Colossians 1:20-22 tells us that because of sin, we were separated from God, but Jesus made peace through His sacrifice on the cross. He brought us back to God, making us holy, clean, and free in His sight.

God’s love didn’t leave us lost—He sent Jesus to bridge the gap between us and Him. Now, because of what Jesus has done, we don’t have to be afraid or feel unworthy. We are welcomed, loved, and forgiven! Instead of being far from God, we are now part of His family.

Let’s live each day knowing that Jesus has made us new and whole, and let’s share this amazing message of peace and reconciliation with others!

Welcome, Faith Force Peace Builders! Today, we’re learning about how God made peace with us through Jesus and calls us to do the same with others, as shared in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.

Verse Of The Day:

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:18-19)

Imagine two friends who had an argument but finally come together again, smiling and shaking hands. That’s what reconciliation means—restoring a broken relationship. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 teaches us that God, through Jesus, brought us back into a loving relationship with Him, wiping away our sins and calling us to do the same with others.

God doesn’t hold our mistakes against us. Instead, He welcomes us back with love, offering forgiveness and peace. And because we have received this gift, we are now called to be peacemakers—helping others find God’s love and living in harmony with those around us.

Let’s practice reconciliation in our daily lives by saying sorry when needed, forgiving others, and showing kindness, just as God has done for us. When we live as peace builders, we reflect God’s love in the world!

Romans 12:17-18

Living in Peace: Doing What is Right for Everyone

Welcome, Faith Force Peace Keepers! Today, we’re learning about how to live peacefully with others and respond with kindness, as shared in Romans 12:17-18.

Verse Of The Day:

"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." (Romans 12:17-18)

Imagine someone being unkind to you—your first reaction might be to be unkind back. But Romans 12:17-18 teaches us that instead of repaying wrong with more wrong, we should choose what is right and seek peace with others.

God calls us to be peacemakers, even when others hurt us. That doesn’t mean we let people mistreat us, but it does mean choosing forgiveness, kindness, and self-control over anger or revenge. When we do this, we reflect God’s love and bring His peace into the world.

Let’s commit to living in peace, making choices that honor God, and doing what is right, even when it’s hard. By showing kindness and patience, we help build a world filled with God’s love.

Matthew 5:23-24

Making Peace: Forgiving Before Worshiping God

Welcome, Faith Force Peacemakers! Today, we’re learning about the importance of making things right with others before coming to God, as shared in Matthew 5:23-24.

Verse Of The Day:

"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23-24)

Imagine bringing a gift to a friend, but realizing you’ve had an argument with them. Wouldn’t it be better to make peace first? That’s what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:23-24—before we come to God in worship, we should make sure our hearts are free from anger or conflict with others.

God values peace and reconciliation. When we hold onto hurt feelings or stay angry with someone, it can block our relationship with Him. Making things right with others—whether by saying sorry, forgiving, or showing kindness—helps us come before God with a pure and joyful heart.

Let’s practice being peacemakers, making things right with others before coming to God in prayer and worship. When we choose forgiveness and reconciliation, we reflect His love and bring peace into our hearts and relationships.

Peace Bridge Craft:

Create a bridge craft with “Make Peace First” written on a single-line banner at the top. On one side, write “Anger” and “Hurt,” and on the other, write “Forgiveness” and “Love.” Decorate the bridge with bright colors as a reminder to reconcile with others before coming to God.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us the importance of making peace with others. Help us to forgive, apologize, and show kindness before coming to You in worship. Teach us to be peacemakers in our families and friendships. Amen.

Imagine being sick and then receiving medicine that makes you completely well again. That’s what Jesus did for us! 1 Peter 2:24 reminds us that when Jesus died on the cross, He carried all of our sins, taking the punishment we deserved so that we could be healed and made whole.

Jesus’ wounds bring us healing—not just in our hearts, but in every part of our lives. He gives us the strength to overcome sin, live in righteousness, and experience true freedom. His sacrifice means we are not just forgiven, but transformed into new creations.

Verse Of The Day:

"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." (James 5:16)

Imagine having a strong, invisible rope that connects you to God and to others. That’s what prayer does—it brings us closer to God and each other. James 5:16 reminds us that when we pray for one another and share our struggles, God listens and brings healing.

Praying isn’t just about asking for things; it’s about talking to God, saying sorry for our mistakes, and lifting up our friends and family. When we pray with faith, amazing things can happen! God’s power works through our prayers, bringing comfort, strength, and peace to those we care about.

Matthew 18:21-22

Endless Forgiveness: Reflecting God’s Mercy

Welcome, Faith Force Forgiveness Heroes! Today, we’re learning about forgiving others, just as God forgives us, as shared in Matthew 18:21-22.

Verse Of The Day:

"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'" (Matthew 18:21-22)

Imagine someone knocking over your tower of blocks—again and again! How many times would you forgive them? Peter thought forgiving seven times was enough, but Jesus surprised him by saying we should forgive seventy-seven times—meaning, always!

Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting or pretending nothing happened, but it does mean letting go of anger and trusting God to bring peace. Just like God forgives us endlessly, He wants us to show the same grace to others. Forgiveness keeps our hearts light and free, making room for love and kindness.

Let’s practice forgiveness every day, knowing that each time we do, we are showing God’s mercy and reflecting His love to those around us.

Ephesians 4:31-32

Kind Hearts: Choosing Love Over Anger

Welcome, Faith Force Kindness Keepers! Today, we’re learning about replacing anger with kindness and forgiveness, as shared in Ephesians 4:31-32.

Verse Of The Day:

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32)

Imagine carrying a backpack filled with heavy rocks labeled “anger,” “bitterness,” and “hurt.” It’s exhausting and weighs you down! But when we take out those rocks and replace them with “kindness,” “forgiveness,” and “compassion,” we feel light and free. Ephesians 4:31-32 teaches us that instead of holding onto anger, we should choose love, kindness, and forgiveness—just like Jesus does for us.

Letting go of anger isn’t always easy, especially when someone has hurt us. But when we forgive and show kindness, we are reflecting God’s heart. Jesus forgave us completely, and He calls us to do the same for others. When we let go of harsh words and bitterness, we make room for peace, joy, and stronger relationships.

Let’s practice kindness and forgiveness every day, spreading love instead of anger. By doing this, we reflect the love of Christ and bring His peace into our homes, schools, and friendships.

Luke 6:35-36

Love Like God: Showing Kindness to All

Welcome, Faith Force Mercy Givers! Today, we’re learning about loving our enemies and being merciful like God, as shared in Luke 6:35-36.

Verse Of The Day:

"But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." (Luke 6:35-36)

Imagine giving a gift to someone who has been unkind to you. It may feel difficult, but Jesus teaches us that real love isn’t just for our friends—it’s for everyone, even those who may not treat us well. Luke 6:35-36 reminds us that God shows mercy and kindness to everyone, and He calls us to do the same.

Loving our enemies doesn’t mean we let them hurt us, but it does mean choosing kindness over revenge, forgiveness over bitterness, and patience over frustration. When we treat others with love, expecting nothing in return, we reflect the heart of our Heavenly Father. His love is limitless, and He wants us to spread that same love, even to those who may not deserve it.

Let’s commit to showing kindness and mercy in every situation, even when it’s hard. By loving the way God loves, we become true children of the Most High, shining His light in a world that needs it.

Mark 11:25

Forgiving Freely: Keeping Our Hearts Open to Go

Welcome, Faith Force Forgiveness Warriors! Today, we’re learning about how forgiveness connects us to God, as shared in Mark 11:25.

Verse Of The Day:

"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." (Mark 11:25)

Imagine trying to fill a cup with fresh water, but there’s a lid on top blocking it. That’s what happens when we hold onto anger or unforgiveness—it stops our hearts from fully receiving God’s blessings. Mark 11:25 reminds us that when we come to God in prayer, we must let go of any grudges or bitterness, so that He can pour His love and forgiveness into our lives.

Forgiving others doesn’t mean saying what they did was okay, but it does mean choosing to release the hurt and trust God to heal our hearts. Just as He forgives us completely, He calls us to forgive others, making room for His peace and joy. When we forgive, we reflect God’s grace and open the door to deeper connection with Him.

Let’s practice forgiveness daily, freeing our hearts from the weight of anger and filling them with God’s love. By doing this, we grow closer to Him and shine His light to those around us.

Forgiveness Hands Craft:

Trace and cut out hand shapes on paper. On one hand, write “God Forgives Me,” and on the other, write “I Forgive Others.” Decorate them with words like “Peace,” “Love,” and “Healing,” and display them as a reminder of the power of forgiveness.

Dear God, thank You for forgiving us and teaching us to forgive others. Help us to let go of anger and show grace to those who have hurt us. Fill our hearts with peace so that we can pray with open hearts and receive Your love fully. Amen.

Keep choosing forgiveness, Faith Force Forgiveness Warriors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that letting go of hurt allows God’s love to flow freely in your heart. Let’s live in the power of His grace every day!

Verse Of The Day:

"And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Colossians 3:14)

Imagine building a puzzle piece by piece, carefully placing each one until the final piece clicks into place, completing the beautiful picture. It feels satisfying, joyful, and whole. That’s what love does in our lives—it’s the final piece that ties everything together, making it complete. Colossians 3:14 reminds us that love is what binds all the virtues like kindness, patience, and forgiveness into perfect unity. Without love, the picture isn’t finished, but with it, everything fits beautifully.

Choosing love means going beyond words and showing it through our actions. It means being kind when others are unkind, being patient when situations are frustrating, and forgiving when it’s hard to let go.

Welcome, Faith Force Forgiving Hearts! Today, we’re learning about the importance of forgiveness, as shared in Matthew 6:14-15.

Verse Of The Day:

"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matthew 6:14-15)

Imagine carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks everywhere you go—it weighs you down, makes every step harder, and takes away your energy. That’s what holding onto anger feels like. It builds up inside, making our hearts heavy and tired. But forgiveness is like taking off that backpack, feeling the weight lift, and finally being able to move freely and joyfully. Matthew 6:14-15 reminds us that when we choose to forgive others, we reflect the forgiveness God so lovingly gives to us.

Forgiveness isn’t always easy—it can feel hard when someone has hurt us. But God promises to help us let go of anger and replace it with His peace. When we forgive, we don’t just set others free from our resentment; we also free ourselves to experience God’s love more fully. Forgiving opens our hearts to His healing, making space for kindness, joy, and unity.

Let’s practice having forgiving hearts, trusting God to guide us when it’s difficult. By forgiving others, we reflect His grace and show the world the power of His love to heal and restore. Together, let’s make forgiveness a habit, spreading peace wherever we go!

Verse Of The Day:

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8)

Imagine a soft, warm blanket that covers someone who’s feeling cold. That’s what love does—it comforts, heals, and forgives. 1 Peter 4:8 reminds us that when we love each other deeply, we can overcome hurts, mistakes, and disagreements. Love helps bring people closer together.

Reconciliation means bringing people back together. God didn’t just reconcile us to Himself—He gave us the job of helping others find their way to Him, too. This might mean sharing God’s love with someone who feels far away from Him or showing kindness to someone who needs it.

Imagine trying to stack blocks, but you start at the top instead of the bottom—the tower would fall! That’s what life is like when we don’t put God first. Matthew 6:33 reminds us to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting that when we do, He will take care of everything else.

Seeking God first means making Him the most important part of our lives. It means praying, reading the Bible, and trying to live in a way that pleases Him. When we put God at the center of our choices and actions, He promises to provide everything we need.

Return to God: Opening Our Hearts to His Love

Welcome, Faith Force Heart Seekers! Today, we’re learning about turning to God with all our hearts, as shared in Joel 2:12-13.

Verse Of The Day:

"‘Even now,’ declares the Lord, ‘return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.’ Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity." (Joel 2:12-13)

Imagine losing something precious, like a favorite toy, and feeling so sorry that you promise to take better care of it. That’s how God wants us to feel when we drift away from Him. In Joel 2:12-13, God invites us to return to Him with our whole hearts, not just with outward actions but with sincere love and trust.

God doesn’t want us to just “look sorry” by doing something outward like tearing clothes, which was a custom in ancient times. He wants us to truly open our hearts to Him, letting Him fill us with His love and forgiveness. When we turn back to God, He welcomes us with compassion, patience, and an abounding love that never runs out.

Returning to God means saying, “Lord, I’m sorry, and I want to follow You again.” He’s always ready to forgive us and bring us closer to Him. Let’s choose to return to God every day, trusting His love to guide us.

1 Corinthians 10:13

Strength to Overcome: Trusting God’s Help in Temptation

Welcome, Faith Force Overcomers! Today, we’re learning about how God helps us stand strong and resist temptation, as shared in 1 Corinthians 10:13.

Verse Of The Day:

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Imagine standing in front of a fork in the road, where one path looks easy but leads to trouble, and the other is harder but leads to something good. That’s what temptation feels like! 1 Corinthians 10:13 reminds us that everyone faces temptations, but God is always faithful to help us make the right choice.

God never lets us face more than we can handle, and He always provides a way out when we’re tempted. It might be a friend reminding us to make a good choice, a Bible verse that encourages us, or the courage to walk away. No matter what, God is with us, helping us choose what’s right.

When we trust God’s strength and look for His “way out,” we grow stronger and more faithful. Let’s remember that with God’s help, we can stand firm and overcome any temptation that comes our way!

Path to Victory Craft:

Create a “Path to Victory” at home! Draw a forked path with one side labeled “Wrong Choice” and the other labeled “God’s Way.” Write things on the “God’s Way” path like “Pray,” “Ask for Help,” or “Remember God’s Word.” Decorate the path with arrows and bright colors to represent God’s guidance. Hang it up to remind yourself that God always provides a way to choose what’s right. This craft helps kids visualize how God helps them overcome temptation.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for always being with us when we face temptations. Help us to trust You and look for Your way out when we feel tempted. Give us the strength to make good choices and the courage to follow Your guidance. May we always remember that You are faithful and will never leave us to face challenges alone. Amen.

Keep trusting God’s strength, Faith Force Overcomers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God is always with you, giving you the power to resist temptation. Let’s look for His way out and choose His path every day!

Mark 9:24

Faith Builders: Trusting God Even When It’s Hard

Welcome, Faith Force Faith Builders! Today, we’re learning about asking God to help us grow in faith, as shared in Mark 9:24.

Verse Of The Day:

"Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'" (Mark 9:24)

Have you ever tried to build something with blocks, but the tower starts to wobble? That’s what faith can feel like sometimes—strong in some moments, but shaky in others. In Mark 9:24, a father asks Jesus to help him believe more fully, even when doubts creep in. This shows us that it’s okay to ask God for help with our faith.

Faith doesn’t mean never having questions or fears. It means trusting God even when we don’t have all the answers. Like the father in the story, we can pray, “Help me believe!” God is ready to strengthen our hearts and guide us closer to Him. When we trust Him, even a little faith can grow into something big and unshakable.

God loves when we come to Him honestly, asking for His help. Let’s remember that He’s always there to support us, even when our faith feels small. With God’s help, our faith can grow stronger every day!

Faith Ladder Craft:

Create a “Faith Ladder” at home! Draw or cut out a ladder and write “Faith Builders” at the top. On each step of the ladder, write ways to grow in faith, like “Pray,” “Trust God,” “Read the Bible,” or “Ask for Help.” Decorate the ladder with simple designs like stars and hearts. Hang it up to remind yourself that God helps us grow in faith one step at a time. This craft helps kids understand that their faith grows stronger when they trust God.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for loving us even when our faith feels small. Help us to trust You and believe more each day. Teach us to come to You with honesty, asking for Your help when we need it. May our faith grow strong as we learn to follow You more. Amen.

Jude 1:22

Compassionate Hearts: Showing Mercy to Others

Welcome, Faith Force Compassionate Hearts! Today, we’re learning about showing mercy and kindness to those in need, as shared in Jude 1:22.

Verse Of The Day:

"Be merciful to those who doubt." (Jude 1:22)

Imagine someone standing at the edge of a bridge, unsure whether to cross or turn back. They need a kind voice and helping hand to guide them forward. That’s what Jude 1:22 teaches us—to show mercy to those who are unsure or struggling in their faith. Mercy means being patient, kind, and understanding, just as God is with us.

We all have times when we feel uncertain, but God calls us to encourage and help each other, especially those who doubt or feel weak. Instead of judging, we show love and care, reminding them of God’s goodness and truth. By being merciful, we reflect the love and compassion that Jesus showed to everyone.

When we act with mercy, we bring hope to others and help them see how much God loves them. Let’s look for opportunities to be kind, understanding, and patient with those who need encouragement, trusting that God is working through us.

Mercy Hands Craft:

Create a “Mercy Hands” craft at home! Trace your hands on paper or cardboard and cut them out. Write the word “Mercy” on the palms and decorate them with hearts or stars. On each finger, write ways to show mercy, like “Be kind,” “Listen,” or “Encourage.” Hang the hands somewhere to remind you to act with compassion every day. This craft helps kids understand how mercy can bring God’s love to others.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for showing us mercy and kindness every day. Help us to be patient, understanding, and loving toward those who are struggling or doubting. Teach us to reflect Your love through our words and actions, bringing hope and encouragement to others. Amen.

Keep showing mercy, Faith Force Compassionate Hearts! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that kindness and understanding bring hope to those in need. Let’s live with compassion and share God’s love with everyone we meet!

Verse Of The Day:

"Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'" (John 20:29)

Imagine trusting that a seed you planted will grow, even though you can’t see what’s happening underground. That’s what Jesus is talking about in John 20:29. He reminds us that faith is about believing in Him, even when we can’t see Him with our eyes. Jesus says that those who believe without seeing are truly blessed.

Believing in Jesus means trusting His love, promises, and power, even when we can’t see Him. It’s like knowing the sun is shining behind the clouds—it’s always there, even when we don’t see it directly. Faith is about trusting that Jesus is with us and working in our lives every day.

When we have believing hearts, we show God that we trust Him completely. And Jesus promises a special blessing for those who have this kind of faith. Let’s choose to believe, knowing that Jesus is always near and always faithful.

Faith Banner Craft:

Create a “Believing Heart” banner at home! Cut out a banner shape from paper or cardboard and write “Blessed are those who believe” across it. Decorate it with a big heart in the center and colorful designs like stars or crosses. Hang it up to remind yourself that faith in Jesus brings blessing and joy. This craft helps kids understand that believing without seeing is a special kind of trust that Jesus treasures.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for blessing those who believe in You, even when we can’t see You. Help us to have hearts full of faith, trusting in Your love and promises every day. Teach us to walk by faith and not by sight, knowing You are always with us. Amen.

Keep believing, Faith Force Believing Hearts! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that Jesus blesses those who trust in Him without seeing. Let’s grow in faith and live every day with believing hearts!

2 Corinthians 9:7

Cheerful Givers: Sharing with Joy from the Heart

Welcome, Faith Force Cheerful Givers! Today, we’re learning about how giving with joy makes God smile, as shared in 2 Corinthians 9:7.

Verse Of The Day:

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Imagine giving someone a gift with a big smile, knowing it will make them happy. That’s the kind of giving God loves! 2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us that when we give with joy from our hearts, it pleases God. It’s not about how much we give, but the love and cheerfulness behind it.

God doesn’t want us to feel forced to give or to give with a grumpy attitude. He wants us to share because we want to, because we care, and because we know that giving shows His love to others. When we give cheerfully—whether it’s time, help, or things we have—we reflect God’s generous heart.

Giving with joy is like planting seeds of kindness. The more we share, the more blessings grow, not just for others but for us, too. Let’s be cheerful givers, knowing that every act of giving makes the world a little brighter and God’s love a little clearer.

Giving Tree Craft:

Create a “Giving Tree” at home! Draw or cut out a tree with branches and leaves. On each leaf, write down ways you can give cheerfully, like “Helping a friend,” “Sharing my toys,” or “Donating to someone in need.” Decorate the tree with colorful leaves and symbols like hearts and stars to represent the joy of giving. Hang it up as a reminder to give from the heart with cheerfulness. This craft helps kids see that cheerful giving makes God happy and spreads His love.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us the joy of giving. Help us to give with cheerful hearts and to share what we have with love. Teach us to see giving as a way to show Your kindness and blessings to others. May we always give with joy, knowing that it makes You smile. Amen.

Keep giving with joy, Faith Force Cheerful Givers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God loves it when we give from the heart. Let’s spread His love through cheerful giving every day!

Galatians 5:16

Walking in the Spirit: Choosing God’s Way Every Day

Welcome, Faith Force Spirit Walkers! Today, we’re learning about what it means to follow God’s Spirit in all we do, as shared in Galatians 5:16.

Verse Of The Day:

"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)

Imagine walking on a path with someone guiding you, helping you make good choices and avoid things that could hurt you. That’s what it’s like to walk by the Spirit! Galatians 5:16 reminds us that when we follow God’s Spirit, He helps us choose what’s right and stay away from things that could lead us away from Him.

Walking by the Spirit means allowing God’s Spirit to guide our thoughts, words, and actions. Instead of just doing what we feel like, we listen for what God wants us to do. This could mean choosing kindness when we’re tempted to be unkind, or being patient when we feel like rushing. God’s Spirit is like a loving guide, always pointing us in the best direction.

With the Spirit’s help, we can grow closer to God every day. We become more loving, patient, joyful, and kind—showing the world what it means to live for God. Let’s trust the Spirit to lead us and remember that He helps us choose God’s way in all things.

Spirit Path Craft:

Create a “Spirit Path” at home! Draw a path on a piece of paper, and along the path, write down ways the Spirit can help you make good choices, like “Choose Kindness,” “Show Patience,” “Be Loving,” or “Stay Joyful.” At the end of the path, write “Walking with God” to remind yourself that the Spirit leads you closer to God. Decorate the path with stars and hearts as symbols of God’s love. This craft helps kids remember that following the Spirit’s guidance helps them live in a way that pleases God.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us Your Spirit to guide us. Help us to follow His lead and make choices that bring us closer to You. Teach us to listen to Your voice and walk in a way that shows Your love. May we always choose Your path and let Your Spirit guide us in all we do. Amen.

Keep walking by the Spirit, Faith Force Spirit Walkers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s Spirit is with you, helping you make choices that honor Him. Let’s trust in His guidance each day as we walk with God!

Guided Steps: Trusting God’s Direction

Welcome, Faith Force Guided Explorers! Today, we’re learning about how God guides our path, even when we make our own plans, as shared in Proverbs 16:9.

Verse Of The Day:

"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." (Proverbs 16:9)

Imagine you’re setting off on a hike with a map you’ve made yourself. You have a plan, but sometimes the path changes, and you need a guide to show you the best way forward. That’s what God does for us! Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that while we can make plans, it’s God who directs our steps and leads us to the best path.

God loves when we dream big and make plans for our lives, but He also wants us to trust Him to guide us. Sometimes our plans might change, but God’s guidance is always perfect. He knows the way forward and wants what’s best for us, so when He changes our path, it’s to bring us to a place of blessing, growth, and joy.

When we let God lead us, we’re saying, “God, I trust You more than my own ideas.” It’s okay to plan and dream, but remember that God’s plan is always better, even if it looks different from what we expected. Let’s walk with confidence, knowing He’s guiding our steps every day.

Path of Trust Craft:

Create a “Path of Trust” at home! Draw a path on a piece of paper, and along the path, write down things you’re hoping or planning for, like “Being kind,” “Helping others,” or “Learning new things.” At the end of the path, write “God’s Perfect Plan” to remind yourself that God will guide your steps. Decorate the path with stars, arrows, or hearts to make it fun. This craft helps kids remember to trust God with their plans, knowing He leads them in the best way.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for guiding our steps even when we make our own plans. Help us to trust You with every part of our lives and to remember that Your way is always best. Teach us to listen to Your guidance and follow You, knowing that You will lead us to wonderful things. Amen.

Imagine lifting weights to grow stronger—it’s hard work, but each lift makes you stronger and more resilient. That’s what it’s like when we go through challenges. James 1:2-3 teaches us to find joy even in tough times because they make our faith grow strong and steady.

Challenges might feel difficult, but God uses them to help us grow in patience, strength, and faith. When we face trials, it’s like training our hearts to be brave and trusting in God’s goodness. Each tough moment is a chance to get closer to Him and learn how to stay steady no matter what.

Joy doesn’t mean pretending challenges aren’t hard—it means trusting that God has a good purpose for every challenge we face.

Imagine crossing the finish line of a long race, feeling tired but proud because you didn’t give up. That’s what Paul is talking about in 2 Timothy 4:7. He says that he fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. This verse reminds us that life is like a race, full of challenges and victories, and God wants us to stay strong and faithful to the end.

Fighting the good fight means standing up for what’s right and trusting God, even when things get tough. Running the race means living each day with purpose and courage. Keeping the faith means believing in God’s love and promises, no matter what we face.

God is with us every step of the way, cheering us on and giving us the strength we need. When we stay focused on Him and keep running, we can finish strong and know that we’ve done our best for Him. And just like Paul, we can be proud that we fought, ran, and kept our faith in God’s plan.

God wants us to trust Him when things seem difficult or when we face problems that look too big to solve. Whether it’s something small or something huge, we can rely on God’s power to help us. He loves us and is always there to show us that He can make the impossible possible.

Imagine you’re building the tallest tower of blocks. You’re not just building it to win a game—you’re building it to show how much you care and how hard you can work. That’s what Colossians 3:23-24 teaches us. It reminds us that whatever we do, whether it’s big or small, we should do it with all our hearts for God. When we do our best, it’s like giving a special gift to God.

God wants us to put our hearts into everything we do—whether it’s helping around the house, doing homework, or being kind to friends. When we work with joy and dedication, we’re not just doing it for ourselves or for others; we’re doing it for God. And He promises that when we work with this kind of heart, He will reward us with His blessings.

Working for God means giving our best and doing things with love, even when no one is watching. God sees our efforts, and He is pleased when we serve with joy. Let’s remember that whatever we do, we’re doing it for Him!

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." (James 1:12)

Think of a runner crossing the finish line after a long, difficult race. They feel tired, but they’re filled with joy because they made it through. That’s what James 1:12 teaches us—when we stay strong and trust God during tough times, He blesses us with something even more wonderful: the crown of life.

Persevering means not giving up, even when things are hard. It means trusting that God is with us, helping us every step of the way. When we keep our eyes on Him and keep going, we show our love and faith in Him. And God promises that those who stand firm will receive a special reward that lasts forever.

Life can be like a race with hills and challenges, but we’re not running alone. God is there to give us strength and cheer us on. The “crown of life” isn’t just any prize—it’s a promise of eternal life with Him and a reminder that He sees our struggles and honors our perseverance.

Hebrews 11:1

Faith Believers: Trusting What We Cannot See

Welcome, Faith Force Faith Believers! Today, we’re learning about what faith really means and how it helps us trust God, as shared in Hebrews 11:1.

Verse Of The Day:

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1)

Imagine holding a tiny seed in your hand and believing that it will grow into a big, beautiful tree one day. You can’t see the tree yet, but you trust that it will come. That’s what faith is like! Hebrews 11:1 teaches us that faith is being sure of the things we hope for and confident in what we cannot see.

Having faith means trusting that God is real and that His promises are true, even when we can’t see them with our eyes. It’s like knowing that the sun is still shining behind the clouds on a rainy day—it’s there, even if we can’t see it at the moment. God wants us to trust Him fully, believing that He is working in our lives even when things aren’t clear.

Faith is what helps us move forward, make good choices, and have hope. When we have faith, we’re sure that God is guiding us, loving us, and making good plans for us. Let’s be strong in our faith, knowing that God is always there, even when we can’t see the full picture.

Faith Tree Craft:

Create a “Faith Tree” at home! Draw or cut out a tree with branches and leaves. On each leaf, write down things you trust God for, like “Guidance,” “Love,” “Healing,” or “Help.” Add a few blank leaves as a reminder that God’s plans often grow in ways we can’t see yet. Decorate the tree with bright colors and hang it up as a reminder that faith is trusting in God’s unseen plans. This craft helps kids understand that their faith grows as they trust in God’s promises.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us what true faith is. Help us to trust You even when we can’t see what You’re doing. Give us confidence in Your promises and assurance that You are always working in our lives. Teach us to grow in faith and hold on to the hope You give us. Amen.

Keep believing and growing, Faith Force Faith Believers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that faith is being sure of what we hope for and confident in what we do not see. Let’s trust in God’s love and promises every day!

Psalm 20:7

Faithful Warriors: Trusting in God Over All Things

Welcome, Faith Force Faithful Warriors! Today, we’re learning about putting our trust in God, not in earthly things, as shared in Psalm 20:7.c

Verse Of The Day:

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." (Psalm 20:7)

Imagine having the choice between a strong horse or the protection of a powerful king. Some people choose to trust in things they can see, like chariots and horses. But in Psalm 20:7, we learn that our strength and safety come from trusting in God above all things.

God is greater than anything else we could rely on. Whether it’s our own strength, abilities, or things that make us feel safe, they can never compare to God’s power and love. When we put our trust in Him, we know He will always be with us, guiding and protecting us, no matter what challenges we face.

Trusting in God means believing that He is our ultimate protector and provider. He is the one who helps us in every situation, who comforts us in difficult times, and who gives us true strength. Instead of relying on earthly things, let’s choose to trust fully in God and know that He is always faithful.

Trust Shield Craft:

Create a “Trust Shield” at home! Cut out a shield shape from paper or cardboard, and write “We trust in the Lord” across the top. Around the shield, write down things you might be tempted to trust in, like “Money,” “Strength,” “Things I own,” and then draw a big cross in the middle to remind yourself that our trust belongs to God above all else. Hang it up as a reminder that true strength and safety come from God alone. This craft helps kids understand that God is their ultimate source of protection and strength.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being our protector and our strength. Help us to trust in You above everything else, knowing that You are always with us. Teach us to rely on Your power and love, rather than earthly things. May we always remember that You are our true source of safety and joy. Amen.

Keep trusting in God, Faith Force Faithful Warriors! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that the greatest strength we have comes from our trust in God. Let’s rely on Him fully and know that His love and power will never fail us!

Jeremiah 17:7

Trusting Roots: Growing Strong in God’s Promises

Welcome, Faith Force Trusting Roots! Today, we’re learning about the blessings of trusting in God, as shared in Jeremiah 17:7.

Verse Of The Day:

"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him." (Jeremiah 17:7)

Imagine a tree with deep, strong roots that reach down into the earth, keeping it steady through every season. That’s what we’re like when we put our trust in God! Jeremiah 17:7 teaches us that those who trust in the Lord are blessed, like a tree planted by water, drawing strength and life from God.

When we put our confidence in God, we don’t have to worry about things going wrong. Just like a tree stays strong and healthy because its roots are deep, we grow strong when our hearts are rooted in God’s promises. Trusting in God means believing that He has a good plan for us, no matter what.

With God’s help, we can face life’s storms, dry seasons, and even hard days. When we trust Him, He fills us with peace, joy, and strength. Just like a tree’s roots keep it steady, our trust in God helps us stand strong and grow closer to Him every day.

Roots of Trust Craft:

Create a “Roots of Trust” tree at home! Draw or cut out a tree with big roots, and on each root, write down something you trust God with, like “My family,” “My future,” or “My worries.” Decorate the tree with leaves or fruit symbols to show how God’s blessings grow from our trust in Him. Hang it up as a reminder that your trust in God keeps you strong, no matter what comes your way. This craft helps kids understand that trusting in God is like having strong roots that keep them steady.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being our source of strength and peace. Help us to trust in You with all our hearts, knowing that You have good plans for us. Teach us to put our confidence in Your promises, just like a tree with strong roots. May we grow in faith and joy, knowing You are always with us. Amen.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Prize Runners: Running with Purpose for God’s Reward

Welcome, Faith Force Prize Runners! Today, we’re learning about running the race of life with focus and purpose, as shared in 1 Corinthians 9:24-25.

Verse Of The Day:

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." (1 Corinthians 9:24-25)

Imagine running a race, focusing on the finish line, and giving it your very best. In 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, Paul encourages us to run the race of life with purpose, aiming for the ultimate prize—a reward from God that lasts forever! Just like an athlete trains hard to win, we’re called to live with focus, dedication, and a heart for God.

Athletes train by practicing, eating right, and staying strong so they can do their best. In the same way, we train for our “race” of faith by praying, reading the Bible, and choosing to live for God every day. While earthly prizes and trophies don’t last, God’s reward is eternal, filling our hearts with joy, peace, and love forever.

God calls us to run with a purpose—to live in a way that honors Him and helps others see His love. When we focus on Him and stay faithful, we’re running for a “crown” that never fades. Let’s keep our eyes on God’s promises and run with all our hearts!

Crown of Faith Craft:

Create a “Crown of Faith” at home! Use a strip of paper or cardboard to make a crown, and write words like “Faith,” “Dedication,” “Purpose,” and “God’s Prize” on it. Decorate the crown with stars, crosses, or jewels to make it bright and joyful. Wear your crown as a reminder that you’re running your race for God’s reward, which lasts forever. This craft helps kids understand that their “race” is a journey of faith, aiming for God’s eternal reward.

Verse Of The Day:

"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8)

Imagine having a treasure map that shows you the way to a beautiful, wonderful place. That’s what God’s Word is like! In Joshua 1:8, God tells us to keep His Word close—to read it, think about it, and let it guide our choices. When we do this, God promises that we’ll be blessed with strength and success.

Meditating on God’s Word means reading it and thinking about what it means for our lives. It’s not just something we do on Sundays, but every day. When we follow what God says in the Bible, we’re choosing the path that leads to peace, wisdom, and happiness. Just like a plant needs sunlight to grow, our hearts need God’s Word to stay strong and healthy.

God’s Word is full of wisdom, and when we live by it, we’re able to handle challenges, make good choices, and be a light to others. With His Word in our hearts, we are never alone, and God promises to make our lives successful in ways that truly matter.

God’s Word Treasure Map Craft:

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Ephesians 3:20-21)

Imagine you’re dreaming of something wonderful, like a tall treehouse or an amazing adventure. Now, think of God being able to do even more than that! Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that God’s power is so great that He can do more than we could ever imagine. His plans for us are bigger and better than we know!

God loves when we dream big and trust Him to work in our lives. He has amazing things in store for us, and when we believe in Him, His power works through us to do incredible things. Sometimes, His answers might look different from what we expect, but they are always more wonderful than we can imagine. God’s dreams for us are full of love, joy, and purpose.

Hebrews 12:1

Endurance Runners: Running the Race with Perseverance

Welcome, Faith Force Endurance Runners! Today, we’re learning about running the race of life with perseverance and keeping our eyes on Jesus, as shared in Hebrews 12:1.

Verse Of The Day:

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." (Hebrews 12:1)

Imagine being in a race where lots of people are cheering you on. That’s what the Bible says we’re doing right now—running a race! In Hebrews 12:1, we learn that we need to “throw off” anything that slows us down and run with perseverance, keeping our focus on the finish line.

This race isn’t about running the fastest; it’s about never giving up! Life is like a long race, and sometimes it feels hard, but God gives us the strength to keep going. There are things that can slow us down, like worries, bad habits, or sin. The verse reminds us to let go of those things, so we can run freely and focus on God’s plan for us.

And guess what? We’re not alone in this race! The “great cloud of witnesses” are all the people who have gone before us, like the heroes of the Bible who trusted God. They are cheering us on as we run! So, let’s keep our eyes on Jesus, running our race with faith, and knowing that with God’s help, we can finish strong!

Verse Of The Day:

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace." (Acts 20:24)

Imagine being in a race where the most important thing isn’t how fast you run but how determined you are to finish. In Acts 20:24, Paul says that the most important thing in his life is to finish the race God gave him—to tell others about Jesus and His amazing love.

We all have a special “race” that God has given us to run. It’s not a race against others, but a race to live for Jesus and share His good news with the world. Just like a runner focuses on the finish line, we need to focus on doing what God has called us to do, no matter how hard the race gets.

Paul reminds us that sharing God’s love and telling others about Jesus is the greatest mission we can have. When we run our race with faith, we bring joy to God and help others see how much He loves them. Even if the road is tough, God gives us the strength to keep going and finish strong.

Faith Fighters: Standing Strong in the Good Fight of Faith

Welcome, Faith Force Faith Fighters! Today, we’re learning about fighting the good fight of faith and standing strong in God’s truth, as shared in 1 Timothy 6:12.

Verse Of The Day:

"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses." (1 Timothy 6:12)

Imagine being in a race where you have to run your hardest, never giving up, because you know there’s a prize waiting at the finish line. That’s what 1 Timothy 6:12 teaches us about faith—it’s like a fight or race where we have to keep going, even when it’s hard. We are called to stand strong and keep believing in God, knowing that our reward is eternal life with Him.

God calls us to “fight the good fight of faith,” which means standing firm when we face challenges or doubts. It’s not about fighting against people, but against the things that try to pull us away from God, like fears, temptations, or worries. When we hold onto our faith, we’re trusting God to help us through tough times, and we’re running the race toward eternal life.

Just like a runner needs strength and focus, we need to rely on God’s strength and keep our eyes on His promises.

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13)

Imagine being a strong warrior, ready to defend what is good and right. In 1 Corinthians 16:13, God calls us to be like warriors in our faith—to stay alert, be brave, and stand firm no matter what comes our way. Being a warrior for God doesn’t mean fighting with swords or shields, but it means standing strong in our hearts and trusting God’s truth.

God tells us to “be on your guard,” which means we should always be careful about what we allow into our hearts and minds. We need to protect our faith by staying close to God, praying, reading His Word, and choosing what’s right. Being strong and courageous doesn’t mean we won’t ever feel afraid, but it means trusting God to give us the strength to keep going, even when things are tough.

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

Imagine carrying a bright lantern in a dark place. Your light helps others see where to go and feel safe. That’s what Jesus says we are in Matthew 5:16—shining lights! When we do good things, like being kind, helping others, and sharing love, we are letting our lights shine, and those around us can see God’s love through us.

Jesus wants us to be like bright lights in the world, showing people who God is by the way we live. Our good deeds aren’t just for making ourselves look good—they point others to God. When people see the kindness and love we share, it brings glory to God and shows them that He is real and powerful.

No matter how big or small the good things we do are, they all shine brightly when done for God. From helping a friend to praying for someone, our actions show others that God is good and that His love is alive in our hearts.

Psalm 42:1

Thirsty Hearts: Longing for God’s Presence

Welcome, Faith Force Thirsty Hearts! Today, we’re learning about how we should long for God like we need water, as shared in Psalm 42:1.

Verse Of The Day:

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." (Psalm 42:1)

Imagine a thirsty deer running through the forest, looking for a cool stream of water. When it finds the water, it stops to drink, refreshed and full of life. That’s what the writer of Psalm 42:1 is saying about our hearts. Just like a deer longs for water, we should long for God with all of our hearts!

When we spend time with God, praying, reading the Bible, and worshipping Him, it fills our hearts like water fills a thirsty animal. Our souls need God’s love and presence every day to feel refreshed, just like our bodies need water. Without God, we can feel lost, tired, or empty, but when we come to Him, He gives us everything we need.

God loves when we come to Him, longing to be close to Him. Just like the deer knows where to find the water, we can always find God in His Word, in prayer, and by spending time with Him. He’s ready to fill our hearts with His love and peace every day!

Water of Life Craft:

Create a “Water of Life” craft! Draw a picture of a stream and cut out a shape of a deer. Write on the water words that describe how spending time with God fills your heart, like “Peace,” “Love,” “Joy,” or “Strength.” Place the deer at the stream as a reminder that just like a deer needs water, your heart needs God’s presence.

Love First: Loving Others Because God Loved Us

Welcome, Faith Force Love First Team! Today, we’re learning about how we love others because God loved us first, as shared in 1 John 4:19.

Verse Of The Day:

"We love because he first loved us." (1 John 4:19)

Imagine a big, warm hug from someone who loves you so much! That’s what God’s love feels like—He loved us first, even before we knew Him. In 1 John 4:19, we learn that the reason we can love others is because God showed us what love is by loving us first.

God’s love for us is the most amazing gift, and it’s because of that love that we know how to love others. Just like how we want to share a tasty treat with a friend, we should want to share God’s love with the people around us. His love never runs out—it’s big enough for everyone!

When we feel God’s love, it fills our hearts and gives us the ability to be kind, forgiving, and caring toward others. We can love because we know that God loves us, and His love is always with us, no matter what.

Love Chain Craft:

Create a “Love Chain” at home! Use colorful paper strips to make a chain. On each strip, write down ways you can show love to others, like “Share,” “Forgive,” “Be kind,” or “Help.” Connect the strips to make a long chain, and hang it somewhere to remind you that we love because God loved us first. Each time you show love, add a new link to your chain. This craft helps kids understand that their ability to love comes from God’s love for them.

Philippians 2:5

Like Jesus: Thinking and Acting with a Heart of Humility

Welcome, Faith Force Humble Hearts! Today, we’re learning about how we should think and act like Jesus, as shared in Philippians 2:5.

Verse Of The Day:

"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus." (Philippians 2:5)

Imagine having the chance to follow the example of the greatest person who ever lived—Jesus! In Philippians 2:5, we’re reminded that we should have the same mindset, or attitude, as Jesus did. But what does that mean? It means thinking and acting with humility, love, and kindness, just like Jesus did when He was on Earth.

Jesus always put others first. He didn’t act like He was better than anyone else, even though He is the Son of God! He served others, showed compassion, and helped people in need. When we follow His example, we can make a big difference in the lives of those around us.

Being like Jesus means thinking of others, being patient, and choosing kindness. It means putting others before ourselves, not just when it’s easy, but even when it’s hard. With Jesus as our guide, we can live in a way that makes God proud and helps others see His love through us.

Jesus Mindset Crown Craft:

Create a “Jesus Mindset Crown” at home! Cut out a crown shape from paper or cardboard and write on it words that describe how Jesus thought and acted, like “Humble,” “Loving,” “Kind,” or “Serving.” Decorate it with bright colors and symbols like hearts or crosses. Wear the crown to remind yourself that you want to think and act like Jesus every day. This craft helps kids understand the importance of having the same mindset as Jesus in their relationships with others.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for showing us how to live with humility and love. Help us to think and act like You, always putting others first and showing kindness. Teach us to have Your heart of compassion, and may we share Your love with everyone we meet. Amen.

Verse Of The Day:

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20)

Imagine you and your friends getting together to pray, talk about Jesus, or even sing songs of worship. Guess what? Jesus is right there with you! In Matthew 18:20, Jesus promises that whenever two or more people gather in His name, He is with them. That means whether you’re at home, church, or school, if you come together to talk about Jesus or pray, He’s there.

Jesus loves when we gather with others to talk about Him, pray, and encourage each other in faith. It’s like having a friend who never leaves your side, always listening and helping when you gather in His name. Even when it’s just two or three people, Jesus promises His presence will be right there, filling the room with His love and peace.

When we come together in Jesus’ name, amazing things can happen—our faith grows stronger, our friendships get deeper, and we feel more connected to God. Whether you’re in a big group or just with a friend, Jesus is always with you when you seek Him together.

Jesus Circle Craft:

Create a “Jesus Circle” craft! Cut out a large circle from paper or cardboard and write “Jesus” in the center. Around the circle, write the names of family members, friends, or people you gather with in Jesus’ name. Decorate the circle with words like “Pray,” “Worship,” and “Faith.” Hang the circle somewhere special to remind yourself that whenever you gather with others to talk about Jesus, He is there with you. This craft helps kids understand that Jesus is always present when they come together in His name.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for being with us when we gather in Your name. Help us to remember that You are always near, whether we are with many people or just a few. Teach us to love and encourage one another as we gather, knowing that You are always there to listen and guide us. Amen.

Proverbs 27:17

Sharpening Friends: Helping Each Other Grow

Welcome, Faith Force Sharpening Friends! Today, we’re learning about how friends can help each other become better, as shared in Proverbs 27:17.

Verse Of The Day:

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17)

Imagine a dull pencil that needs to be sharpened to write well. When you use a sharpener, it gets sharper and ready to do its best work! That’s what friends do for each other. In Proverbs 27:17, we learn that just like iron sharpens iron, we can help our friends grow, and they can help us become better.

God gives us friends to encourage, support, and challenge us in a good way. Sometimes, our friends might help us make better choices, and other times, we might be the ones helping them. When we spend time with people who love God and want to do what’s right, we help each other grow in faith and wisdom.

Just like sharpening a tool makes it work better, spending time with good friends helps us be our best selves. We learn from each other, we encourage one another, and together, we become stronger and sharper in our love for God.

Sharpening Star Craft:

Create a “Sharpening Star” craft! Cut out a large star shape from paper or cardboard and write down the names of friends who help you grow in your faith and who make you better. Around each name, write or draw how they help you, like “Encourages me,” “Helps me make good choices,” or “Prays for me.” Hang the star up to remind you that your friends are a gift from God, and you can help sharpen each other. This craft helps kids understand the importance of strong friendships that help them grow.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us friends who help us grow and become better. Help us to be good friends who encourage, support, and sharpen one another in faith. Teach us to appreciate the people You’ve placed in our lives, and may we always help each other grow closer to You. Amen.

Keep sharpening each other, Faith Force Sharpening Friends! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that just like iron sharpens iron, we help each other grow in faith and love. Let’s be the kind of friends who make each other stronger in God!

Ecclesiastes 4:9

Better Together: The Power of Helping Each Other

Welcome, Faith Force Team Builders! Today, we’re learning about how we can accomplish more when we work together, as shared in Ecclesiastes 4:9.

Verse Of The Day:

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor." (Ecclesiastes 4:9)

Imagine trying to lift something heavy all by yourself. It’s hard! But when a friend comes along to help, it suddenly gets much easier. That’s what Ecclesiastes 4:9 teaches us—two people can accomplish more when they work together than when they try to do everything alone.

God designed us to be helpers and to work together. Whether it’s helping a friend, working on a team, or doing something for our family, we can do so much more when we support each other. Working together also makes things more fun! When we share the load, we’re not only stronger, but we also build friendships and learn to care for each other.

God loves when we help one another. Just like Jesus helped those around Him, we’re called to lend a hand, share our gifts, and make life better for those we care about. When we work together, we accomplish great things and show the world the love of God.

Helping Hands Craft:

Create a “Helping Hands” craft! Trace your hand on a piece of paper and cut it out. On each finger, write down ways you can help others, like “Help with chores,” “Pray for someone,” or “Be a good listener.” Make a second hand, and together they will represent how “two are better than one.” Hang the hands somewhere to remind yourself to help others every day. This craft helps kids see the importance of teamwork and how much stronger we are when we work together.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us that we are stronger together. Help us to be willing to lend a hand and to work alongside others to accomplish good things. Show us how to love and help one another, just as Jesus did. May we always be ready to support our friends and family, knowing that we are better together. Amen.

Keep helping and working together, Faith Force Team Builders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that when we join hands and help each other, we can do amazing things. Let’s be a team that shows God’s love by working together!

Luke 6:38

Generous Givers: Blessings Overflow When We Give

Welcome, Faith Force Generous Givers! Today, we’re learning about the power of generosity and how God blesses those who give, as shared in Luke 6:38.

Verse Of The Day:

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38)

Imagine filling a bucket with sand and then pressing it down so more sand can fit. Now, imagine that bucket overflowing with more than you ever expected! That’s what Luke 6:38 tells us about giving. When we give generously—whether it’s our time, love, help, or things—God blesses us with even more in return.

God wants us to have generous hearts, giving to others without holding back. When we give out of love, God promises to give back to us in ways that overflow, like a cup that keeps getting filled until it spills over the top. But God’s blessings aren’t just about getting more things—they are about the joy, peace, and love that come from helping others.

Being generous is like planting seeds. When we share with others, those seeds grow into even bigger blessings, not just for them but for us, too! God’s blessings are greater than anything we could imagine, and they come when we open our hearts to give.

Overflowing Cup Craft:

Create an “Overflowing Cup” craft! Use a paper cup and decorate it with words that represent generosity, like “Love,” “Kindness,” “Sharing,” and “Helping.” Cut out small strips of paper and write down ways you can give to others, like sharing toys, helping at home, or being kind. Fill the cup with these strips to remind yourself that when we give, God fills our lives with even more blessings. This craft helps kids understand the joy and reward that come from being generous.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us about the power of giving. Help us to have generous hearts and to give freely to others. Remind us that when we give, You bless us in ways that overflow. Teach us to be kind and giving in all that we do, trusting in Your promise to fill our lives with joy and love. Amen.

Proverbs 31:30

True Beauty: Finding Worth in God

Welcome, Faith Force True Beauties! Today, we’re learning about what real beauty looks like and where we find our worth, as shared in Proverbs 31:30.

Verse Of The Day:

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Proverbs 31:30)

Imagine you’re looking at a beautiful flower. It’s bright and colorful, but after a while, its petals start to fade. That’s what Proverbs 31:30 teaches us—outward beauty doesn’t last forever, but there’s a special kind of beauty that never fades: the beauty that comes from knowing and loving God.

Real beauty isn’t just about how we look on the outside. It’s about the goodness in our hearts. When we trust God and live in a way that pleases Him, that’s where our true beauty shines! It’s the kindness we show to others, the way we care for our family and friends, and how we live out our faith that makes us truly beautiful.

God wants us to know that our worth isn’t found in how we look or what people say about us, but in how we live for Him. When we focus on loving God and living in His truth, we are beautiful in ways that last forever.

True Beauty Mirror Craft:

Create a “True Beauty Mirror” at home! Use a piece of paper or cardboard and draw a mirror shape. Around the “mirror,” write down words that describe true beauty, like “Kindness,” “Faith,” “Love,” and “Caring.” You can decorate it with hearts, flowers, or stars. Hang it up as a reminder that your beauty comes from your heart and how you love God and others. This craft helps kids understand that true beauty is about what’s inside, not just how we look on the outside.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us that true beauty comes from our hearts. Help us to live in a way that pleases You, showing kindness, love, and faith every day. Remind us that our worth comes from You, and that real beauty lasts forever when we live for You. Amen.

"For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Imagine you’re lost and feeling scared, but then you shout out for help and someone comes running to save you. That’s what it’s like when we call on Jesus. In Romans 10:13, we learn that anyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you’ve done—Jesus is always ready to answer when we ask for His help.

Calling on Jesus is like asking Him to be part of our lives. When we trust Him and believe in His love for us, He saves us. Not only does Jesus save us from our sins, but He also helps us in tough situations, guides us, and fills our hearts with peace.

Psalm 40:1-2

Patient Climbers: Waiting on God to Lift Us Up

Welcome, Faith Force Patient Climbers! Today, we’re learning how waiting on God brings us out of tough times and sets us on solid ground, as shared in Psalm 40:1-2.

Verse Of The Day:

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." (Psalm 40:1-2)

Imagine being stuck in a muddy pit, trying to get out, but your feet keep slipping. It’s hard and frustrating! But then, someone strong comes along and pulls you up, placing you on solid, dry ground. That’s what God does for us when we trust Him. In Psalm 40:1-2, David tells us that he waited patiently for God, and God rescued him from a tough situation and set him on a firm, safe path.

Sometimes in life, we feel like we’re stuck in the mud. It could be a problem we’re facing, a worry, or a feeling that we can’t seem to shake. But when we cry out to God and trust Him, He hears us. Even if the answer doesn’t come right away, God is always working to help us. And when He lifts us up, He puts us on solid ground, giving us strength and confidence.

God asks us to be patient and trust Him, just like climbers who take careful steps to reach the top of a mountain. When we trust God’s timing and let Him lift us up, we find a safe and strong place to stand.

Solid Ground Footprints Craft:

Create “Solid Ground Footprints” at home! Draw or trace your feet onto paper and cut them out. On each footprint, write something you’re waiting for God to help you with, like “Patience,” “Healing,” or “Strength.” Decorate the footprints with bright colors and place them on the floor to represent God lifting you out of hard situations and placing you on solid ground. This craft helps kids understand how waiting on God can lead them to safety and strength.

Verse Of The Day:

"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:7)

Imagine being a strong guard protecting something very precious, like a treasure chest. That’s how love works! In 1 Corinthians 13:7, we learn that love is like a strong shield that always protects, trusts, hopes, and never gives up.

Love stands up for what’s right and helps others feel safe. When we love others, we protect them by standing by their side, just like a guard watches over something valuable. Love also means trusting others and believing the best in them, just as God trusts and believes in us.

Love doesn’t stop when things get hard. It keeps hoping, even when things aren’t going the way we expect. It perseveres, meaning it never quits, no matter what. That’s how God’s love is for us—it never stops, it never gives up, and it’s always full of hope. When we love like this, we show others the kind of strong, faithful love that God has for all of us.

1 Corinthians 13:6

Truth Seekers: Rejoicing in What Is Right

Verse Of The Day:

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." (1 Corinthians 13:6)

Imagine someone trying to do a tricky puzzle, and you’re there to help them find the right pieces. That’s what love does—it helps others and rejoices when the truth is found. In 1 Corinthians 13:6, we learn that love doesn’t get excited about wrong or hurtful things. Instead, it celebrates the truth and what’s right!

When we love like God does, we don’t enjoy seeing others make bad choices or get hurt. We care about what’s good and right, and we feel happy when the truth shines through. Love leads us to make good choices and stand up for what’s true, even when it’s hard. It means helping others do the right thing and cheering them on when they do.

God’s love is full of truth. He doesn’t want us to get caught up in things that are wrong or harmful. Instead, He wants us to live in the light of His truth, which brings joy and peace. When we speak and live by the truth, we show real love to others, and we help make the world a better place!

Truth & Love Puzzle Craft:

Create a “Truth & Love Puzzle” at home! Cut out a large heart shape from paper or cardboard and then cut it into several puzzle pieces.

1 Corinthians 13:5

Kind Hearts: Showing Love with Patience and Respect

Welcome, Faith Force Kind Hearts! Today, we’re learning about how love isn’t selfish or rude, as shared in 1 Corinthians 13:5.

Verse Of The Day:

"It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." (1 Corinthians 13:5)

Imagine being in a group where everyone looks out for each other and treats one another with kindness. In 1 Corinthians 13:5, we learn that love is all about respecting others, not thinking only about ourselves, and being patient. Love doesn’t get mad easily, and it doesn’t keep track of the mistakes other people make.

When we love others the way God teaches us, we put them first instead of thinking only about what we want. It means choosing not to be selfish, not getting upset over small things, and forgiving others when they make mistakes. Love doesn’t hold on to anger or keep score of who’s done what wrong—it lets go and chooses peace.

God’s love for us is patient and forgiving. He doesn’t keep a list of our mistakes or get angry quickly. Instead, He shows us grace and kindness. When we treat others this way, we are showing them God’s love, too. Let’s aim to live with kind hearts, always thinking about how we can honor and love others the way God loves us.

Love Chain Craft:

Create a “Love Chain” at home! Use strips of colorful paper to make a paper chain.

Watch as your love chain grows longer each day, showing how love grows when we treat others with kindness and respect. This craft helps kids understand how love builds stronger, kinder relationships.

Love Builders: Learning What Real Love Looks Like

Welcome, Faith Force Love Builders! Today, we’re learning about what love really means, as shared in 1 Corinthians 13:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (1 Corinthians 13:4)

Imagine building a tall tower out of blocks. You have to be patient, take your time, and carefully place each block. That’s a little like love! In 1 Corinthians 13:4, we learn that real love is patient and kind—it doesn’t get jealous or brag. It’s about thinking of others and caring for them in the best way.

Being patient means waiting without getting upset, like when you’re waiting for your turn in a game. And kindness is all about doing nice things for others, like helping a friend or sharing what you have. Love is also humble, meaning it doesn’t brag or show off—it quietly serves and helps others.

God shows us this kind of love every day. His love for us is patient, kind, and always thinking about what’s best for us. When we love others the way God loves us, we’re building something strong and beautiful—just like that tower made of blocks. It’s a love that grows and helps others grow too.

Love Tower Craft:

Create a “Love Tower” at home! Use blocks, cups, or other items to build a tower. On each block or cup, write or draw a way to show love, like “Patience,” “Kindness,” “Helping,” or “Sharing.” As you add each piece to your tower, talk about how that part of love makes relationships stronger. See how tall your love tower can grow! This craft helps kids understand how different acts of love build up their relationships and make them stronger.

Scripture Seekers: The Power of God's Word

Welcome, Faith Force Scripture Seekers! Today, we’re learning about the importance of the Bible in our lives and how it teaches and equips us, as shared in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Verse Of The Day:

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Imagine having a treasure map that leads you to something amazing. That’s what the Bible is—it’s like a treasure map from God, filled with wisdom, truth, and instructions on how to live a life that honors Him. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, we learn that all Scripture is God-breathed, meaning it comes directly from God and is full of His truth. The Bible teaches us what’s right, corrects us when we make mistakes, and helps us grow in righteousness.

God’s Word is a powerful tool that guides us in every part of our lives. It helps us understand how to make good choices, how to treat others with love, and how to live in a way that pleases God. But the Bible doesn’t just tell us what to do—it equips us for every good work, meaning it gives us the strength and knowledge to do the things God has called us to do.

Reading the Bible is like receiving training from God. The more we read and follow His Word, the stronger we become in our faith. It’s a book filled with everything we need to live a life full of purpose, love, and joy, knowing that God’s Word is our guide.

Bible Treasure Hunt:

Create a “Bible Treasure Hunt” at home! Hide small “treasures” (like stickers, small toys, or treats) around your house, and write clues on slips of paper using Bible verses or helpful hints from Scripture. Each clue should lead the children to the next treasure, with the final clue reminding them that the greatest treasure is God’s Word. This activity helps kids understand that the Bible is full of valuable lessons, wisdom, and truths that guide us in life.

Verse Of The Day:

"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord." (Psalm 31:24)

Imagine standing in a big, open field with strong winds blowing, but you’re not afraid—you stand tall and brave because you know you’re safe. That’s how we can feel when we trust in God! Psalm 31:24 tells us to be strong and take heart, because our hope is in the Lord. When we put our trust in God, He gives us the courage we need to face anything.

God doesn’t just want us to be brave on our own; He gives us the strength to face challenges and tough moments. When we feel scared, nervous, or unsure, we can remember that God is right beside us, helping us be strong. We can trust Him with everything in our lives—our worries, our hopes, and even the things that make us feel weak.

Being courageous means having a heart that trusts God no matter what. When we hope in Him, we can stand firm, knowing that He is our protector, our guide, and our source of strength. With God’s help, there’s nothing we can’t face, and He promises to always be with us, giving us the courage we need.

Brave Workers: Never Giving Up, God Sees Your Efforts

Welcome, Faith Force Brave Workers! Today, we’re learning about how God sees the hard work we do for Him and how we should never give up, as shared in 2 Chronicles 15:7.

Verse Of The Day:

"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded." (2 Chronicles 15:7)

Imagine working really hard on something, like building a tall tower or practicing for a big game. Sometimes you might feel tired or want to quit, but then you remember how awesome it will feel to finish strong! That’s what God encourages us to do in 2 Chronicles 15:7—He tells us to be strong and to never give up because He sees our efforts, and there’s a reward waiting for us.

God doesn’t just notice the big things we do; He sees every small act of kindness, every prayer, and all the times we try to follow Him. Sometimes, it can feel like doing good is hard or that no one notices, but God promises that our work for Him will be rewarded. When we keep going, even when things get tough, God gives us the strength we need to push through.

God’s reward isn’t just about getting something at the end—it’s about knowing that we are doing His will and growing stronger in our faith. When we stay brave and keep working for God, we are building a life that pleases Him and brings joy to ourselves and others. So, no matter how tough it gets, don’t give up! God is with you, and He will reward your faithfulness.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

Quiet Builders: Living a Peaceful and Hardworking Life

Welcome, Faith Force Quiet Builders! Today, we’re learning about how to live a peaceful and hardworking life, as shared in 1 Thessalonians 4:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you." (1 Thessalonians 4:11)

Imagine building something special, like a small garden or a cozy house. It takes time, patience, and quiet focus. That’s what 1 Thessalonians 4:11 encourages us to do with our lives. God wants us to live peaceful, focused lives where we work hard, stay responsible, and mind our own business. It doesn’t mean we hide away or don’t help others, but it means we live in a way that brings peace to ourselves and to those around us.

God asks us to stay focused on doing good work, being helpful, and taking care of the responsibilities He’s given us. When we work quietly and steadily, whether it’s at home, at school, or helping others, we’re showing that we’re living for God. It’s like building something solid and steady—something that lasts and brings joy to everyone around us.

Sometimes, life can be noisy and distracting, but God encourages us to find peace in doing the work He’s given us with a calm heart. When we live this way, others will see our good example and feel the peace that comes from trusting God in everything we do.

Quiet Garden Craft:

Create a “Quiet Garden” at home! Use small pots or cups, soil, and seeds to plant a little garden. Each time you water the seeds or take care of the plants, think about how living a peaceful, hardworking life is like tending to your garden. Just as you need to quietly care for the plants to see them grow, we need to live calmly and responsibly to see good things grow in our lives. This activity helps kids understand that peaceful, steady work leads to growth and joy in God’s eyes.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us how to live peaceful and hardworking lives. Help us to be calm, focused, and responsible in all that we do. Show us how to care for the tasks You’ve given us, and may we always live in a way that brings peace to others. Help our hearts to grow in love and joy, just like a well-tended garden. Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Steadfast Workers: Staying Strong in God’s Work

Welcome, Faith Force Steadfast Workers! Today, we’re learning about the importance of staying firm and never giving up in doing God’s work, as shared in 1 Corinthians 15:58.

Verse Of The Day:

"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Imagine you’re building something awesome, like a tall tower made of blocks. Sometimes it might fall, but you keep working on it, making it stronger each time. In 1 Corinthians 15:58, God encourages us to be like strong builders—standing firm, staying steady, and giving our best effort to His work. Even when things are tough, we’re reminded that all the work we do for God is worth it!

God calls us to serve Him with all our hearts. That means we keep helping others, loving people, praying, and doing what’s right, even when it feels hard or tiring. The Bible promises that our efforts are never wasted when we do them for God. Every act of kindness, every prayer, every moment of faith—it all matters, and God sees it.

Being steadfast means not giving up, even when we face challenges. God gives us the strength to stand firm in our faith, no matter what tries to move us. When we do God’s work, we’re building something much greater than a block tower—we’re helping to build His Kingdom! And the best part? God promises that everything we do for Him will make a difference.

Steadfast Tower Challenge:

Create a “Steadfast Tower” at home! Use building blocks (or even items like plastic cups) to create a tall tower. Each time you add a block, say something that reminds you of God’s work, like “Prayer,” “Helping others,” or “Faithfulness.” If the tower falls, rebuild it, knowing that you’re standing firm in God’s strength! This activity helps kids understand the importance of perseverance and that all of our efforts for God have purpose and meaning.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for helping us stay strong and steady in the work You have given us. Teach us to stand firm in our faith, trusting that everything we do for You has purpose.

Courage Carriers: Living with God’s Power and Lov

Welcome, Faith Force Courage Carriers! Today, we’re learning about the incredible gifts of power, love, and self-discipline that God gives us, as shared in 2 Timothy 1:7.

Verse Of The Day:

"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." (2 Timothy 1:7)

Have you ever felt afraid to do something new or stand up for what’s right? Sometimes we feel nervous, but 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear! Instead, He fills us with His power, love, and self-discipline. That means with God’s help, we can be brave, kind, and make good choices, no matter what we face.

God’s Spirit is like a superhero power that helps us live boldly! When we feel afraid or uncertain, we can remember that God’s power is inside of us, giving us the strength to be courageous. But it’s not just about being strong—God also fills our hearts with love, so we can be kind and care for others, even when it’s hard.

Self-discipline is another gift from God. It helps us make wise choices, stay focused, and do the right thing, even when we don’t feel like it. With God’s power, love, and self-discipline, we can face any challenge with confidence, knowing He’s right there with us.

Courage Shield Craft:

Create a “Courage Shield” at home!

Proverbs 18:21

Powerful Speakers: Using Words to Bring Life

Welcome, Faith Force Powerful Speakers! Today, we’re learning about how much power our words have and how we can use them to bring life, as shared in Proverbs 18:21.

Verse Of The Day:

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21)

Imagine holding a seed in your hand, ready to plant it in the ground. If you take care of that seed, it will grow into a healthy, strong plant that gives fruit. But if you ignore it or damage it, it won’t grow at all. Our words are like seeds—they have the power to bring life or hurt. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that what we say can either build someone up or tear them down.

Every time we speak, we’re planting seeds in the hearts of others. When we use kind, loving, and truthful words, we’re planting seeds of life that help people grow in love, joy, and confidence. But when we use hurtful or mean words, we plant seeds of sadness or anger that can harm others. God wants us to be careful with our words, using them to speak life, kindness, and encouragement.

Just like a tree that bears good fruit, our words can bring goodness into the world. When we choose to speak words that are full of love and truth, we’re showing others the love of Jesus and helping them feel valued and cared for. Let’s use the power of our words to build others up and spread God’s love everywhere we go!

Words of Life Tree Craft:

Create a “Words of Life Tree” at home! Start by drawing or cutting out the shape of a tree on a large piece of paper. On each branch, write or draw words that bring life, like “Kindness,” “Encouragement,” “Love,” and “Truth.” Each time you say something kind or helpful to someone, write it on a leaf and add it to the tree. Watch as your tree grows with words of life! This craft helps kids see how their words can bring life and goodness to others.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us the power to speak life with our words. Help us to use our words wisely, choosing to be kind, loving, and truthful. Teach us to build others up and to always share Your love through what we say. May our words bring life and joy to those around us. Amen.

Verse Of The Day:

"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14)

Imagine standing on a beach, looking out at the ocean stretching as far as you can see. The water goes on and on, covering everything. Habakkuk 2:14 tells us that one day, God’s glory will be everywhere, just like the ocean covers the sea. The whole world will know who God is and how amazing His love, power, and goodness are!

God’s glory is like a bright light that shines everywhere. Even though we can already see His glory in the beauty of nature, in the kindness of others, and in the way He cares for us, one day it will be even more amazing! Everyone will know God’s greatness and will understand His wonderful plans.

As followers of Jesus, we get to be a part of sharing His glory with the world right now!

Psalm 23:4

Fearless Walkers: Trusting God in the Dark Valleys

Welcome, Faith Force Fearless Walkers! Today, we’re learning about how God is always with us, even in the scariest moments, as shared in Psalm 23:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4)

Imagine walking through a dark, shadowy valley where it feels a little scary, but you’re not afraid—because right next to you is someone strong and brave who protects you. That’s how David describes God in Psalm 23:4. Even in the hardest and scariest times, we don’t have to be afraid, because God is always with us!

God is like a good shepherd who protects His sheep. The “rod and staff” mentioned in the verse are tools a shepherd uses to guide and protect the sheep from danger. In the same way, God uses His love, wisdom, and strength to protect us and guide us safely through any difficult situations we face.

Sometimes, life can feel like we’re walking through dark valleys—times when we feel worried, afraid, or unsure. But the good news is, we are never alone! God is right there with us, holding us close, protecting us, and giving us the courage to keep moving forward. With Him by our side, we can walk fearlessly, trusting that His love will guide us through any challenge.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for always being with us, even in the darkest valleys. Help us to trust in Your love and protection when we feel scared or worried. Give us courage to walk fearlessly, knowing that You are guiding us and keeping us safe. May we always find comfort in Your presence. Amen.

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23:5-6)

Imagine walking into a room and seeing a huge table set with all your favorite foods, prepared just for you. That’s the kind of love and care God shows us! In Psalm 23:5-6, David describes how God takes care of us, even when things around us might be tough. God blesses us so much that it’s like our cup is overflowing with good things!

God doesn’t just give us a little bit of love—He pours it out, filling our lives with more than we can imagine. Even when we face hard times or challenges, God is right there, providing for us, protecting us, and filling us with His goodness and love. He promises that His blessings will follow us every single day of our lives.

Luke 9:23-24

Cross Carriers: Following Jesus with Courage

Welcome, Faith Force Cross Carriers! Today, we’re learning what it means to truly follow Jesus, even when it’s hard, as shared in Luke 9:23-24.

Verse Of The Day:

"Then he said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.’" (Luke 9:23-24)

Imagine carrying something heavy like a backpack full of rocks. It can feel hard, but sometimes, following Jesus feels a little like that. In Luke 9:23-24, Jesus tells us that to follow Him, we have to “take up our cross” each day. But what does that mean? It means being ready to make choices that might be hard, choosing to do what’s right even when it’s not easy, and putting God’s plans before our own.

Sometimes, following Jesus means giving up things we want in order to live the way He teaches us. It’s not always comfortable, but when we put Jesus first, we’re walking the path that leads to real life—life that’s full of God’s love, joy, and purpose.

Jesus carried the cross for us, showing us what real love and sacrifice look like. When we follow His example and carry our own “crosses” each day—whether it’s helping someone when we don’t feel like it, being kind when it’s hard, or trusting God even when we don’t understand—we’re growing closer to Jesus and experiencing the true life He promises us.

Cross of Courage Craft:

Create a “Cross of Courage” at home! Find a wooden stick or use cardboard to cut out the shape of a cross. Decorate it with words and symbols that remind you of what it means to follow Jesus, like “Sacrifice,” “Love,” “Courage,” or “Trust.” Each day, look at your cross and think about one way you can “carry your cross” by doing something that puts Jesus first. This activity helps kids remember that following Jesus takes courage, and that each small act of faith brings them closer to Him.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for showing us what true love and sacrifice look like. Help us to carry our cross each day and to follow You, even when it’s hard.

Brave Guardians: Standing Strong Against Challenges

Welcome, Faith Force Brave Guardians! Today, we’re learning about staying alert and standing strong in faith, as shared in 1 Peter 5:8-9.

Verse Of The Day:

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings." (1 Peter 5:8-9)

Imagine you’re guarding a castle, watching carefully for anything that might try to sneak in and cause trouble. In 1 Peter 5:8-9, we’re reminded to stay alert like brave guardians, because there’s an enemy—like a roaring lion—trying to pull us away from God. But here’s the good news: we don’t have to be afraid, because God gives us the strength to stand firm in our faith.

Being “alert” means paying attention to the things around us and being wise about what we let into our hearts and minds. Sometimes, the enemy tries to sneak in through bad choices, temptations, or lies, hoping we’ll fall into traps that take us away from God. But when we stay focused on God’s truth and pray, we can stand strong against anything the enemy throws our way.

And we’re not alone! There are believers all over the world facing similar challenges. When we stand firm in our faith, we’re part of a big family that’s working together to follow God and resist the enemy. We can be brave and confident, knowing that God is always with us, giving us the strength to resist and the courage to keep going.

Hang the shield somewhere you can see it every day, reminding you to stay strong in your faith and resist the enemy’s tricks. This activity helps kids understand how to “guard” themselves with faith, standing firm against challenges.

Welcome, Faith Force Shepherd’s Path Walkers! Today, we’re learning how God, our Shepherd, takes care of us, guides us, and refreshes our souls, as shared in Psalm 23:1-3.

Verse Of The Day:

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake." (Psalm 23:1-3)

Imagine walking along a beautiful path, with soft green grass all around you and a peaceful stream flowing nearby. You feel safe, relaxed, and happy. That’s how David describes our relationship with God in Psalm 23:1-3. God is our Shepherd, taking care of us and leading us to places where we can find peace and rest.

Just like a shepherd cares for his sheep, God watches over us, making sure we have everything we need. When life gets stressful or hard, God leads us to “green pastures” and “quiet waters,” where we can rest and be refreshed. He knows exactly what we need to feel safe and cared for.

But God’s care isn’t just about helping us rest. He also guides us on the right paths. He shows us how to live in a way that pleases Him, helping us make good choices that lead us closer to Him. When we follow God’s guidance, we don’t have to worry about getting lost, because He is always there to lead us.

Shepherd’s Path Map:

Create a “Shepherd’s Path Map” at home! Draw a long path on a large sheet of paper, starting with “Green Pastures” and leading to “Quiet Waters.” Along the path, write or draw things that represent God’s care and guidance, like “Prayer,” “Reading the Bible,” “Helping Others,” and “Listening to God.” Each week, add a new step along the path, focusing on how God takes care of you or how you can follow His guidance. This activity helps kids visualize God’s care and guidance as they walk along the Shepherd’s path in their lives.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being our loving Shepherd, always caring for us and guiding us along the right paths. Help us to follow Your lead, trusting in Your care when we are tired and in need of rest.

Isaiah 53:6

Lost Sheep: Finding Our Way Back to God

Welcome, Faith Force Lost Sheep! Today, we’re learning about how we sometimes wander away, but God is always there to bring us back, as shared in Isaiah 53:6.

Verse Of The Day:

"We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6)

Imagine being a little sheep that has wandered far away from the rest of the flock. You feel lost and alone, not sure how to get back home. But then, the shepherd comes looking for you and gently guides you back to safety. That’s what Isaiah 53:6 tells us—we are like lost sheep, sometimes going our own way, but God, our Shepherd, sent Jesus to bring us back to Him.

We all make mistakes, and sometimes we stray from what God wants for us. We do things that are wrong, like not listening to God’s Word or choosing selfish actions. But even when we wander, God still loves us! He sent Jesus to take all our mistakes and sins on Himself so that we could be forgiven and brought back to God’s family.

Just like a shepherd cares for his sheep, God takes care of us. Even when we feel lost or far from Him, He is always ready to bring us back. Jesus’ sacrifice means that no matter how far we’ve strayed, we can always return to God’s loving arms.

Sheep and Shepherd Game:

Create a “Sheep and Shepherd” game at home! Cut out small sheep shapes from paper, and write down things that sometimes lead us astray, like “Disobedience,” “Selfishness,” or “Not praying.” Hide the sheep around the room. One person will be the “shepherd,” whose job is to find the lost sheep and gently bring them back to the “sheepfold” (a designated area). Each time a sheep is found, talk about how God always brings us back to Him, even when we wander. This activity helps kids understand how Jesus, our Shepherd, leads us back when we’ve gone astray.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being our loving Shepherd, always bringing us back when we go our own way. Help us to follow You and to remember that Jesus took our sins so that we could be forgiven. May we always trust in Your care and feel safe in Your love. Amen.

Imagine being caught in a tangled web, feeling stuck and unable to move. But then, someone comes along and cuts through the web, setting you free! That’s what God’s truth does for us—it untangles the lies, confusion, and wrong ideas that sometimes trap us, and it helps us live in freedom.

In John 8:32, Jesus teaches us that knowing the truth is powerful. The truth isn’t just about facts or information—it’s about knowing God, His Word, and His love for us. When we understand who God is and what He teaches, we are set free from the things that try to hold us back, like fear, sin, or doubt.

God’s truth helps us see the world clearly and make good choices. It shows us how much He loves us and the amazing plans He has for us. When we live in the truth, we aren’t weighed down by the wrong things anymore—we can walk confidently in God’s light and freedom!

Truth Chains Breaker:

Create a “Truth Chains Breaker” activity! Using strips of paper, make a paper chain, and on each link, write down things that can keep us trapped, like “Fear,” “Lies,” “Sin,” or “Doubt.” Then, write Bible truths on different strips of paper, such as “God loves me,” “Jesus sets me free,” or “I am forgiven.” One by one, break the “chains” by tearing them apart and replacing them with the truth strips, creating a new chain made of God’s truth. This activity helps kids understand how God’s truth frees us from the things that try to keep us trapped.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us the truth that sets us free. Help us to always know and trust in Your Word, so we can walk in the freedom You’ve given us. Show us when lies or fear try to trap us, and lead us to Your truth that brings us peace and joy. May we live in Your light every day. Amen.

Keep seeking the truth, Faith Force Truth Finders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s truth is the key to freedom. Let’s live in His truth every day, breaking free from anything that holds us back and walking confidently in God’s love.

Hebrews 4:11

Diligent Rest Seekers: Working Hard to Enter God’s Rest

Welcome, Faith Force Diligent Rest Seekers! Today, we’re learning about how important it is to work towards entering God’s rest, as shared in Hebrews 4:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience." (Hebrews 4:11)

Imagine playing a fun game of tag, where the goal is to reach a safe place where you can finally rest. You run as fast as you can, avoiding obstacles and staying focused so you can make it to the safe zone. Hebrews 4:11 tells us that, just like in the game, we need to put effort into entering God’s rest—His special place of peace and safety for our hearts and souls.

God’s rest is available to everyone, but we need to work hard to stay close to Him by following His teachings. This doesn’t mean we have to work to earn God’s love, but it means we should be focused on living in a way that honors God. When we are obedient to His Word, we experience the peace and joy that come from resting in Him.

But we need to be careful! The verse reminds us not to follow the example of disobedience, like people in the Bible who didn’t listen to God. Instead, we should stay on track, keep doing what’s right, and focus on reaching God’s perfect rest. It takes effort, but it’s worth it, because God’s rest gives us peace that nothing else can!

Rest Road Map:

Create a “Rest Road Map” at home! On a large sheet of paper, draw a path that leads to a resting place, like a cozy tent or house. Along the path, write or draw things you can do to stay on the right track, like “Pray,” “Read the Bible,” “Help Others,” and “Obey God.” Decorate the resting place at the end of the path to represent God’s peace. Each day, look at your map to remind yourself of the things you can do to stay focused on entering God’s rest. This craft helps kids understand that reaching God’s rest is a journey that takes effort and obedience.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for the gift of Your rest. Help us to stay focused on following You and making every effort to live in a way that pleases You. Teach us to avoid distractions and disobedience, and to work hard to reach the peace and joy that come from resting in You. May our hearts always seek Your perfect rest. Amen.

Keep seeking God’s rest, Faith Force Diligent Rest Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s rest is worth the effort. Let’s make every effort to live in obedience to Him, so we can enjoy His peace and joy every day.

Hebrews 4:10

Restful Warriors: Entering God’s Perfect Rest

Welcome, Faith Force Restful Warriors! Today, we’re learning about the special rest that God offers us when we trust in Him, as shared in Hebrews 4:10.

Verse Of The Day:

"For anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." (Hebrews 4:10)

Imagine finishing a big project, like building a fort or completing a puzzle, and then sitting back to relax and enjoy what you’ve done. That feeling of peace and satisfaction is a little like the rest that God offers us. In Hebrews 4:10, we learn that God wants us to enter His perfect rest—a rest that goes beyond just taking a break, but one that refreshes our souls.

God’s rest is more than just stopping work. It’s about trusting in Him completely and knowing that He has everything under control. When we trust in God and follow His ways, we can let go of our worries and find true peace. It’s like laying down our burdens and resting in God’s loving arms, knowing that He will take care of everything.

Just as God rested after creating the world, He invites us to enter that same kind of rest. When we rest in God, we’re not just resting our bodies, but our hearts and minds as well. It’s a time to connect with God, feel His peace, and renew our strength for the journey ahead.

Rest Rock Craft:

Create a “Rest Rock” at home! Find a small, smooth rock and decorate it with symbols of peace, like a dove, a cross, or words like “Peace” and “Trust.” Each night before bed, hold your Rest Rock and say a prayer, asking God to help you enter His rest. Let this rock be a reminder that God’s rest is always available to you, no matter what you’re facing. This craft helps kids focus on finding peace in God’s presence and trusting Him with their worries.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for offering us Your perfect rest. Help us to trust in You completely and to enter the rest You have prepared for us. Teach us to lay down our worries and to find peace in Your presence. May Your rest refresh our hearts and minds, giving us the strength to follow You every day. Amen.

Matthew 6:19

Treasure Keepers: Storing Up Heavenly Riches

Welcome, Faith Force Treasure Keepers! Today, we’re learning about what really matters when it comes to treasure and where we should store our riches, as shared in Matthew 6:19.

Verse Of The Day:

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." (Matthew 6:19)

Imagine finding a treasure chest filled with gold and jewels—how exciting that would be! But what if that treasure could easily get lost, stolen, or ruined? In Matthew 6:19, Jesus reminds us that the treasures we store up on earth, like money and toys, can fade away or be taken from us. But there’s a different kind of treasure that no one can steal and that never loses its value—heavenly treasure!

Heavenly treasure is all the good things we do that make God happy—like being kind, helping others, praying, and loving God with all our hearts. These treasures last forever and are stored safely with God. While it’s okay to enjoy nice things on earth, Jesus wants us to focus on what really matters: living in a way that brings us closer to Him and storing up treasures in heaven.

When we spend our time and energy on the things that matter to God, we’re filling up a treasure chest in heaven that will never be destroyed. These treasures are acts of love, faith, and kindness that shine bright forever. And the best part? The more we focus on heavenly treasures, the happier and more fulfilled we’ll feel!

Heavenly Treasure Box:

Create a “Heavenly Treasure Box” at home! Find a small box and decorate it with bright colors, jewels, or words like “Kindness,” “Love,” and “Faith.” Each time you do something that stores up treasure in heaven—like helping a friend, praying, or sharing with others—write it down on a small piece of paper and place it in the box. At the end of each week, open the box with your family and see how much heavenly treasure you’ve stored up! This activity helps kids focus on actions that bring them closer to God and fill their lives with true treasure.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us about what truly matters. Help us to focus on storing up treasures in heaven by loving You, helping others, and doing what is right. Teach us to value the things that last forever and to live in a way that honors You. May our hearts be filled with heavenly treasure, shining brightly for You. Amen.

Keep storing up heavenly treasures, Faith Force Treasure Keepers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that the most valuable treasures are those that last forever in heaven. Let’s fill our lives with love, kindness, and faith, and watch our heavenly treasure grow!

Psalm 107:13-14

Freedom Seekers: Trusting God to Bring Us Out of Darkness

Welcome, Faith Force Freedom Seekers! Today, we’re learning about how God hears our cries for help and brings us out of the darkness into His light, as shared in Psalm 107:13-14.

Verse Of The Day:

"Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains." (Psalm 107:13-14)

Imagine being in a dark room where you can’t see anything around you. It feels scary and lonely, right? But then, someone turns on the light, and suddenly everything is bright and clear! That’s what God does for us when we’re feeling lost, afraid, or stuck. In Psalm 107:13-14, we learn that when we cry out to God in our troubles, He hears us and brings us out of the darkness.

God is like a powerful rescuer who comes to save us when we need Him the most. No matter how big or small our problems are, when we pray and ask God for help, He listens and answers. He takes away the things that make us feel trapped or sad, just like breaking chains that hold us back.

God’s light is so strong that it can shine through any darkness in our lives. When we trust in Him, He leads us out of fear and confusion into a place of peace and freedom. It’s like walking out of a dark tunnel into the bright, warm sunshine. God wants us to know that He’s always there to help us, no matter what we’re facing.

Freedom Lanterns:

Create a “Freedom Lantern” at home! You can use a jar, paper lantern, or even a simple paper bag. Decorate it with symbols of light, like stars, sunbursts, or words like “Hope” and “Freedom.” Inside, place a battery-powered candle or a glow stick. Each time you feel worried or sad, turn on your lantern and say a prayer, asking God to help you find His light in your situation. This lantern will be a glowing reminder that God is always there to bring you out of darkness and into His light.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for hearing our cries when we are in trouble. Help us to trust in You and to know that You are always there to bring us out of darkness and into Your light. Give us the strength to turn to You in our times of need and to feel the peace and freedom that comes from Your love. Amen.

James 1:27

Pure Hearts: Caring for Others with God’s Love

Welcome, Faith Force Pure Hearts! Today, we’re learning about what it means to have pure religion and how we can show God’s love by caring for others, as shared in James 1:27.

Verse Of The Day:

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

Imagine you have a shiny, new toy that you want to keep clean and bright. You take care of it, make sure it doesn’t get dirty, and share it with others so they can enjoy it too. That’s a little like what God wants us to do with our faith! In James 1:27, we learn that pure religion isn’t just about going to church or saying prayers—it’s about caring for others and keeping our hearts clean from the things that can lead us away from God.

God wants us to show His love by helping those who need it most, like orphans, widows, or anyone who is struggling. When we reach out to help others, we are living out our faith in a way that makes God smile. But it’s not just about helping others; it’s also about making sure we keep our hearts pure by avoiding things that might lead us away from God’s love and truth.

Living with a pure heart means being kind, honest, and caring, and making choices that honor God. When we do this, we’re like a bright light shining in the world, showing everyone what God’s love looks like. And when we care for others, we’re spreading that love to those who need it most.

Heart of Care Craft:

Create a “Heart of Care” craft at home! Cut out a large heart shape from paper or cardboard and decorate it with words or pictures that represent ways you can help others, like “Share,” “Listen,” “Be Kind,” or “Give.” Hang your Heart of Care somewhere you can see it every day, and each time you do one of these loving actions, add a small sticker or drawing to the heart. This craft helps kids remember to live out their faith by caring for others and keeping their hearts pure.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for teaching us what true, pure religion looks like. Help us to care for those who need it most and to keep our hearts clean from anything that leads us away from You. Guide us to live out Your love every day and to make choices that honor You. May our actions reflect Your heart and bring light to the world. Amen.

2 John 1:6

Love Walkers: Living Out God’s Commandments

Welcome, Faith Force Love Walkers! Today, we’re learning about how we can truly show love by following God’s commandments, as shared in 2 John 1:6.

Verse Of The Day:

"And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love." (2 John 1:6)

Imagine walking down a path with signs that guide you along the way. These signs help you stay on the right path and keep you from getting lost. In 2 John 1:6, we learn that God’s commandments are like those signs—they guide us in how to live, and when we follow them, we are showing true love to God and others.

God’s greatest commandment is to love Him and to love others. When we choose to follow God’s commands, we are choosing to walk in love. It means being kind, honest, and caring, not just because we have to, but because we want to show God’s love through our actions. Every time we do something loving, we are walking in the way God wants us to.

Walking in love isn’t always easy. Sometimes, it means putting others before ourselves or doing what’s right even when it’s hard. But when we walk in love, we are shining God’s light for everyone to see. It’s like carrying a little bit of God’s love with us wherever we go, making the world a brighter and better place.

Love Path Activity:

Create a “Love Path” in your home or yard! Use chalk, tape, or paper to make a path on the floor, and along the path, place small signs or notes with different ways to show love, like “Help a friend,” “Say something kind,” or “Share with others.” Take turns walking the path and talking about how you can practice these loving actions in your daily life. This activity helps kids understand that following God’s commandments is a daily journey of love.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for showing us the true meaning of love. Help us to walk in Your commandments every day, showing love to You and to others through our actions. Give us the strength to follow Your path, even when it’s difficult, and help us to always remember that walking in love brings us closer to You. Amen.

Proverbs 23:24

Joyful Children: Bringing Happiness to Your Parents

Welcome, Faith Force Joyful Children! Today, we’re learning about how we can bring joy and happiness to our parents by living wisely, as shared in Proverbs 23:24.

Verse Of The Day:

"The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him." (Proverbs 23:24)

Have you ever seen your parents smile with pride when you do something good, like helping a friend, sharing, or being kind? That’s because your actions can fill their hearts with joy! Proverbs 23:24 tells us that when we live wisely and make good choices, it brings happiness to our parents.

God gives us parents to guide us and teach us how to live in a way that honors Him. When we listen to their advice, follow God’s teachings, and do what’s right, we’re not just making our parents happy—we’re also making God happy! It’s like giving them a special gift that they can carry in their hearts.

Living wisely means doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. It means being kind, honest, and responsible, and thinking about how our actions affect others. When we choose to live this way, we bring joy not only to our parents but to everyone around us. And most importantly, we show God that we love Him and want to follow His ways.

Joy Jar:

Create a “Joy Jar” at home! Find a jar or a small box and decorate it with words like “Joy,” “Love,” and “Wisdom.” Throughout the week, every time you do something that you think would make your parents proud—like helping out at home, being kind to a sibling, or doing your homework without being asked—write it down on a small piece of paper and place it in the jar. At the end of the week, share what’s in the jar with your parents and talk about how your wise choices bring joy to them and to God. This activity helps kids see the impact of their actions and encourages them to keep making good choices.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us parents who love us and guide us. Help us to live wisely and make choices that bring joy to their hearts.

Exodus 20:8

Sabbath Keepers: Remembering God’s Day of Rest

Hey there, Faith Force Crew! Today's Divine Dispatch is all about discovering the best guide in the universe—God's spirit leading us on the path of life!

Verse Of The Day:

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." (Exodus 20:8)

Imagine having a special day each week that’s set aside just for you to rest, have fun, and spend time with God. That’s what the Sabbath is all about! In Exodus 20:8, God tells us to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. This means we should treat the Sabbath as a special day, different from all the other days of the week.

The Sabbath is God’s gift to us—a day to pause from all our work and activities, to relax, and to focus on Him. It’s like getting a weekly invitation from God to spend time with Him and recharge our hearts, minds, and bodies. When we honor the Sabbath, we’re following God’s example, because even He rested after creating the world!

Keeping the Sabbath holy doesn’t mean we have to sit still all day—it means doing things that bring us closer to God, like praying, reading the Bible, spending time with family, and enjoying the beauty of God’s creation. It’s a day to find joy in God’s presence and to thank Him for all the blessings in our lives.

Sabbath Treasure Box:

Create a “Sabbath Treasure Box” at home! Find a small box and decorate it with things that remind you of the Sabbath, like the words “Rest,” “Joy,” or “God’s Day.” Each week, before the Sabbath begins, write or draw something you’re looking forward to doing on the Sabbath and place it in the box. It could be a special activity, a prayer, or a quiet moment with God. At the end of the Sabbath, open the box and talk about what you did and how it helped you feel closer to God. This activity helps kids look forward to the Sabbath and treasure the special time with God.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for giving us the Sabbath, a day to rest and draw closer to You.

Lamentations 3:25-26

Patient Seekers: Waiting on God’s Goodness

Welcome, Faith Force Patient Seekers! Today, we’re learning about the power of waiting patiently for God’s goodness, as shared in Lamentations 3:25-26.

Verse Of The Day:

"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." (Lamentations 3:25-26)

Have you ever had to wait for something really exciting, like your birthday or a special trip? It can be hard to wait, but when the big day finally arrives, it’s so worth it! In Lamentations 3:25-26, we learn that waiting for God’s goodness is like that—when we patiently hope in Him, amazing things happen.

God promises to be good to those who seek Him and trust in His timing. Sometimes, we might not get what we want right away, and that’s okay. God knows the perfect time for everything, and while we wait, He is with us, helping us grow stronger in faith and patience.

Waiting quietly and patiently isn’t always easy, but it helps us learn to trust God more. Just like a seed takes time to grow into a beautiful flower, our faith grows when we wait on God. And the best part? God’s goodness is always worth the wait!

Hopeful Seed Planting:

Plant a “Hopeful Seed” at home! Get a small pot, some soil, and a seed (like a flower or herb seed). Plant the seed together with your family, and as you do, talk about how waiting for the seed to grow is like waiting for God’s goodness. Each day, water the seed and take care of it, watching it grow over time. As the plant grows, remember that God is always working in our lives, even when we can’t see it right away. This activity helps kids understand the beauty of waiting patiently for God’s perfect timing.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being good to us and teaching us to wait patiently for Your blessings. Help us to trust in Your timing and to seek You with all our hearts. May we learn to be still and quiet, knowing that You are always working for our good. Grow our faith like a seed, strong and beautiful, as we wait for Your goodness to bloom in our lives. Amen.

Mark 6:31-32

Rest Retreat: Finding Peace with Jesus

Welcome, Faith Force Rest Retreaters! Today, we’re learning about the importance of taking time to rest and recharge with Jesus, as shared in Mark 6:31-32.

Verse Of The Day:

"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place." (Mark 6:31-32)

Imagine being so busy that you don’t even have time to sit down and eat! That’s what was happening to Jesus and His disciples in Mark 6:31-32. They were helping so many people that they barely had a moment to rest. But Jesus knew how important it was to take a break, so He invited His disciples to come with Him to a quiet place to rest and recharge.

Just like Jesus and His disciples, we all need time to rest. It’s important to take breaks from our busy lives to spend quiet moments with Jesus. When we rest with Jesus, we find peace, feel recharged, and are ready to keep doing good things with new energy.

God doesn’t want us to be busy all the time. He wants us to take care of ourselves, to pause and enjoy the quiet, and to spend time with Him. Whether it’s taking a walk, reading a good book, or just sitting quietly and talking to God, these moments of rest help us stay strong and happy.

Quiet Time Tent:

Create a “Quiet Time Tent” at home! Use blankets, pillows, and a few chairs to build a cozy tent where you can go to rest and spend quiet time with Jesus. Decorate it with soft lighting, like fairy lights or a small lamp, and keep a Bible or a favorite book inside. Each day, spend a few minutes in your Quiet Time Tent, reading, praying, or just relaxing. This tent will be your special place to recharge and connect with God, just like Jesus did with His disciples.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us the importance of rest. Help us to take time each day to be quiet and spend time with You. Give us the peace and strength we need to keep going and to do Your work with joy. May our quiet moments with You refresh our hearts and minds. Amen.

Keep resting and recharging, Faith Force Rest Retreaters! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that Jesus invites you to take breaks and find peace in His presence. Let’s make time for quiet moments with God and feel the refreshment that comes from resting with Him.

Galatians 6:2

Burden Lifters: Helping Each Other with Love

Welcome, Faith Force Burden Lifters! Today, we’re learning about how important it is to help each other carry life’s burdens, as shared in Galatians 6:2.

Verse Of The Day:

"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)

Have you ever tried to lift something really heavy by yourself? It can be tough! But when someone comes along to help, suddenly it feels a lot easier. In Galatians 6:2, we learn that God wants us to help each other with the heavy things in life. When we do, we’re following Jesus’ example of love.

Everyone has burdens—things that are hard to carry alone, like worries, problems, or even feelings of sadness. When we help others with their burdens, whether it’s by being a good friend, listening, or lending a hand, we’re showing them God’s love. It’s like we’re lifting a big, heavy rock together, making it lighter for everyone.

Jesus taught us to love one another, and one of the best ways to do that is by being there for each other. When we carry each other’s burdens, we’re not only making life easier for our friends and family, but we’re also growing closer to God and showing the world what His love looks like.

Burden Basket:

Create a “Burden Basket” at home. Find a small basket and place it in a central spot where everyone can see it. Throughout the week, write down any burdens or worries you’re carrying on small pieces of paper and place them in the basket. At the end of the week, gather together as a family and read the burdens out loud. Then, talk about how you can help each other carry those burdens. Afterward, pray together, asking God to help lighten the load. This activity reminds us that we don’t have to carry our burdens alone—God and our loved ones are always there to help.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us to carry each other’s burdens with love. Help us to be kind and caring, always ready to lend a hand to those who need it. Give us the strength to share our own burdens and to support others, just as You support us every day. Amen.

Keep lifting each other up, Faith Force Burden Lifters! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that when we help carry someone’s burdens, we’re sharing God’s love and making life a little brighter for everyone. Let’s keep spreading kindness and support wherever we go!

Isaiah 26:4

Rock-Solid Faith: Trusting in God Forever

Welcome, Faith Force Rock-Solid Believers! Today, we’re learning about the unshakeable strength we find when we trust in God, as shared in Isaiah 26:4.

Verse Of The Day:

"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal." (Isaiah 26:4)

Imagine standing on a huge, unmovable rock. No matter how strong the wind blows or how much it rains, that rock won’t move. It’s solid and strong, just like God! In Isaiah 26:4, we learn that when we trust in God, we are standing on a “Rock” that will never crumble or shake.

God is like an eternal rock—He’s always there, strong and dependable. When we face tough times or challenges, trusting in God gives us the strength we need to keep going. Just like a rock stays firm in a storm, God stays with us through everything, protecting us and giving us peace.

Trusting in God means believing that He will always be there for us, no matter what. It’s like knowing you can always lean on something strong and unbreakable. When we put our faith in God, we are safe and secure, because His love and power are eternal.

Trust Rock:

Create your own “Trust Rock” to keep with you as a reminder of God’s strength. Find a small, smooth rock and decorate it with markers or paint. Write the word “Trust” on it, and add symbols or drawings that remind you of God’s power and love. Keep this rock in your pocket, backpack, or on your nightstand. Whenever you feel worried or unsure, hold your Trust Rock and remember that God is your eternal rock, strong and steady. This craft helps you carry a reminder of God’s unshakeable strength with you wherever you go.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for being our Rock, strong and eternal. Help us to trust in You always, knowing that You will never leave us and that Your strength will carry us through any storm. Teach us to lean on You in every situation and to feel safe in Your everlasting love. Amen.

Welcome, Faith Force Wise Builders! Today, we’re learning about the importance of building our lives on a strong foundation, as shared in Matthew 7:24.

Verse Of The Day:

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24)

Imagine you’re building a big, beautiful house. You want it to be strong and safe, right? What if you built it on soft sand? When the rain and wind come, the house might fall down! But if you build it on a solid rock, it will stand strong, no matter what happens. In Matthew 7:24, Jesus tells us that our lives are like that house. If we listen to His words and do what He says, we’re like the wise builder who built his house on a rock.

Jesus’ teachings are like the strong rock that helps us make good choices and live a life that pleases God. When we follow His guidance, we’re building a life that can stand firm, even when challenges come our way. Whether it’s being kind, telling the truth, or trusting God, each good choice is like adding another brick to our strong, safe house.

But if we don’t listen to Jesus and make bad choices, it’s like building our life on shaky ground. When trouble comes, it’s much harder to stay strong. That’s why Jesus wants us to build our lives on His teachings—they help us stay strong, safe, and close to God.

Rock Solid House Craft:

Create a “Rock Solid House” craft! Use a small box (like a cereal box) and decorate it to look like a house. Write or draw pictures of the things Jesus teaches us, like kindness, honesty, and faith, on the walls of the house. Then, find a big, strong rock or make one out of clay and place your house on top of it. Keep this craft in your room as a reminder to build your life on the strong foundation of Jesus’ teachings. This activity helps kids remember that following Jesus’ words makes their lives strong and safe.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for teaching us how to build our lives on a strong foundation. Help us to listen to Your words and to follow them every day. May our lives be like a house built on solid rock, standing firm in Your love and truth. Guide us in making good choices that honor You and keep us close to You. Amen.

Keep building strong, Faith Force Wise Builders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that every time you follow Jesus’ teachings, you’re making your life stronger and safer. Let’s build our lives on the rock of His love and truth!

Mark 2:27

Sabbath Superheroes: Embracing God’s Gift of Rest

Welcome, Faith Force Sabbath Superheroes! Today, we’re discovering the special gift of the Sabbath and why it was made just for us, as shared in Mark 2:27.

Verse Of The Day:

"Then he said to them, ‘The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.’" (Mark 2:27)

Imagine getting a gift that’s so special, it’s meant to make your life better every week! That’s exactly what the Sabbath is—a wonderful gift from God, made just for you. In Mark 2:27, Jesus reminds us that the Sabbath wasn’t given to us as just another rule to follow, but as a time of rest and joy that we really need.

Think about your favorite day off, where you get to relax, play, and spend time with your family. The Sabbath is like that, but even better! It’s a day when we can stop all our busy activities and focus on resting, recharging, and enjoying God’s presence. God knows how important it is for us to take a break, so He gave us this special day to refresh our bodies, minds, and hearts.

Jesus wanted everyone to understand that the Sabbath is a blessing. It’s not about doing everything perfectly, but about finding peace and joy in God’s presence. When we honor the Sabbath, we’re saying, “Thank You, God, for caring about us so much that You gave us this day to rest and be happy.”

Sabbath Joy Jar:

Create a “Sabbath Joy Jar” with your family. Each week, write down one special thing you did on the Sabbath that brought you joy or helped you feel closer to God, and put it in the jar. Decorate the jar with bright colors and words like “Rest,” “Joy,” and “Peace.” At the end of each month, open the jar and read all the joyful moments you’ve collected. This activity helps you remember the happiness and blessings the Sabbath brings into your life.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for the gift of the Sabbath. Help us to understand how important it is to rest and enjoy the time You’ve given us. May our Sabbaths be filled with peace, joy, and Your presence. Teach us to appreciate this special day and to use it to grow closer to You and to those we love. Amen.

Keep celebrating, Faith Force Sabbath Superheroes! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that the Sabbath is God’s special gift to you. Take time to rest, recharge, and rejoice in the blessings that come with this beautiful day of peace.

Exodus 33:14

Journey Joy: Finding Rest in God’s Presence

Welcome, Faith Force Journey Joy Seekers! Today, we’re discovering the comfort and rest that comes from knowing God is with us, as shared in Exodus 33:14.

Verse Of The Day:

"The Lord replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’" (Exodus 33:14)

Imagine you’re going on a big adventure, maybe hiking up a mountain or exploring a new place. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone strong, kind, and wise with you every step of the way? That’s exactly what God promises in Exodus 33:14. He tells us that His presence will be with us, no matter where we go or what we do, and that He will give us rest.

God’s presence is like a warm hug or a gentle hand guiding you when you’re unsure. Knowing that God is always with us helps us feel safe and gives us the strength to keep going, even when things get tough. And when we’re tired, God offers us rest—not just sleep, but a deep peace that refreshes our hearts and minds.

This verse reminds us that we don’t have to face anything alone. Whether we’re at school, playing with friends, or lying down to sleep at night, God is right there with us, giving us rest and peace. All we have to do is trust in Him.

God’s Presence Lantern:

Create a “God’s Presence Lantern” at home. You can use a small jar, paper lantern, or even a paper bag. Decorate it with stars, crosses, or other symbols that remind you of God’s presence. Inside, place a battery-powered candle or a glow stick. Each night, before bed, turn on your lantern and take a moment to remember that God is with you and that His presence will give you rest. This lantern will be a glowing reminder that you’re never alone, and that God’s peace is always with you.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for always being with us, no matter where we are or what we’re doing. Help us to feel Your presence and to find rest in Your care. When we’re worried or tired, remind us that You are there to give us peace. May Your presence light our way and fill our

Keep shining, Faith Force Journey Joy Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s presence is with you wherever you go. Let His peace guide your steps and give you rest, knowing that you are always safe in His care.

Psalm 4:8

Peaceful Sleepers: Resting in God’s Safety

Welcome, Faith Force Peaceful Sleepers! Today, we’re learning about the peace and safety God gives us, even as we sleep, as shared in Psalm 4:8.

Verse Of The Day:

"In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety." (Psalm 4:8)

Imagine snuggling into your bed at night, feeling safe and warm under your blankets. Psalm 4:8 tells us that God gives us something even better than cozy blankets—He gives us peace! This peace helps us sleep soundly because we know that God is watching over us.

Just like a shepherd watches over his sheep, God watches over us, making sure we’re safe and protected. When we trust God, we can close our eyes and rest, knowing that He is always there. No matter what happened during the day, we can find peace in God’s love and care.

This verse reminds us that true peace comes from trusting in God. When we pray before bed and give all our worries to Him, we can sleep peacefully, knowing that God is in control and that He is always taking care of us.

Peaceful Prayer Pillow:

Make a “Peaceful Prayer Pillow” with your family. Take a small pillow or pillowcase and decorate it with fabric markers, paint, or stickers. Write or draw things that remind you of God’s peace and safety, like stars, hearts, or even the words “God’s Peace.” Each night before bed, hold your pillow and say a prayer, thanking God for His protection and asking Him to give you peaceful sleep. This activity helps kids feel connected to God’s peace every night.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for the peace and safety You give us. Help us to trust You with all our worries and to rest in Your care. As we lie down to sleep, fill our hearts with Your peace, knowing that You are always watching over us. May our sleep be sweet and our dreams be filled with Your love. Amen.

Sleep tight, Faith Force Peaceful Sleepers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s peace is always with you, keeping you safe as you rest. Trust in Him, and let His love be your blanket of peace each night.

Micah 6:8

Justice Journey: Walking Humbly with God

Welcome, Faith Force Justice Journeyers! Today, we’re learning about what God really wants from us: to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him, as shared in Micah 6:8.

Verse Of The Day:

"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8)

Imagine you’re on a long journey with a map that shows you the way to go. But this isn’t just any journey—it’s a journey with God! Micah 6:8 tells us exactly how to walk this path with God: by doing what is right (acting justly), showing kindness to others (loving mercy), and staying close to God in everything we do (walking humbly).

When we “act justly,” we stand up for what is fair and treat everyone with respect. “Loving mercy” means we are kind and forgiving, even when it’s hard. And “walking humbly with God” means we remember that God is our guide, and we trust Him to lead us every step of the way.

God doesn’t ask us to do anything complicated or impossible. He wants us to live our lives in a way that shows His love to others. By following this simple path, we’re shining God’s light wherever we go, making the world a better place for everyone.

Justice, Mercy, and Humility Path:

Create a “Justice, Mercy, and Humility Path” at home or in your yard. Use chalk to draw three stepping stones: one for justice, one for mercy, and one for humility. On each stone, write down examples of how you can act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Then, take turns walking the path with your family, talking about how you can live out these values every day. This activity helps everyone remember the simple steps God asks us to take.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for showing us what is good. Help us to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You every day. Give us the courage to do what is right, the kindness to forgive, and the humility to follow Your guidance. May our lives reflect Your love and bring peace to those around us. Amen.

Keep walking the path, Faith Force Justice Journeyers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s way is simple but powerful. Let’s act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him, making each step count on our journey with God.

Psalm 144:13

Blessing Builders: Enjoying God’s Abundance

Welcome, Faith Force Blessing Builders! Today, we’re discovering how God blesses us with more than we need, as shared in Psalm 144:13.

Verse Of The Day:

"May our barns be filled with every kind of provision. May our sheep increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields." (Psalm 144:13)

Have you ever seen a big harvest of apples in a basket, or maybe a garden full of bright, colorful flowers? It feels so wonderful to see everything growing and flourishing! Psalm 144:13 talks about how God blesses us with more than enough—so much that our “barns” (or in today’s world, our homes and hearts) are overflowing with good things.

God’s blessings aren’t just about having lots of stuff; they’re also about having joy, love, and all the things we need to live a happy life. When God blesses us, He gives us more than just what we need—He fills our lives with extra joy, extra love, and extra good things to share with others.

This verse reminds us that when we trust in God and follow His ways, He will bless us abundantly. And these blessings aren’t just for us to keep—they’re for us to share with others! We can spread God’s love by being kind, sharing what we have, and helping those who need it.

Blessings Basket:

Create a “Blessings Basket” at home. Each day, write down something you are thankful for and place it in the basket. You can draw pictures, write words, or even add little items that represent God’s blessings in your life. At the end of the week, gather as a family and look at how full your basket has become! Talk about how you can share these blessings with others. This activity helps everyone see how much God provides and encourages a spirit of gratitude and generosity.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for filling our lives with Your blessings. Help us to always remember how much You love us and to share Your goodness with others. May we use what You’ve given us to bless those around us and to spread Your joy everywhere we go. Amen.

Keep building those blessings, Faith Force Blessing Builders! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s blessings are meant to be shared. Let’s fill our hearts and homes with gratitude and generosity, and watch how our blessings grow!

3 John 1:11

Goodness Guides: Following What Is Right

Welcome, Faith Force Goodness Guides! Today, we’re learning about choosing to do good and why it’s important to follow God’s ways, as shared in 3 John 1:11.

Verse Of The Day:

"Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God." (3 John 1:11)

Imagine you’re playing a game with your friends, and everyone decides to follow the leader. Now, what if the leader starts doing something wrong, like cheating or being mean? Would you follow? 3 John 1:11 tells us to be careful about who we follow and what we imitate. God wants us to do what is good because that shows we belong to Him.

When we choose to do good things—like being kind, telling the truth, or helping others—we’re showing that we are part of God’s family. It’s like shining a light for others to see! But if we choose to do things that are wrong, it’s like hiding that light under a basket where no one can see it.

God gives us the ability to know what’s right and wrong, and He wants us to make choices that reflect His love. When we follow what is good, we’re not just making the world a better place, but we’re also showing that we know and love God.

Goodness Chain:

Make a “Goodness Chain” with your family or friends! Cut out strips of colorful paper. Every time you do something good, write it on a strip and link it to the chain. As the chain grows, talk about how these good actions are helping you follow God’s ways. Hang the chain somewhere you can see it, and let it remind you every day to choose what is good. This activity encourages everyone to make good choices and see how those choices connect us to God.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for showing us the way to do good. Help us to follow what is right and to turn away from anything that is not pleasing to You. Give us the strength to be kind, honest, and loving in all we do. May our actions show others that we belong to You. Amen.

Keep linking those good actions, Faith Force Goodness Guides! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that every time you choose to do good, you’re shining God’s light for everyone to see. Let’s keep following what is right and spreading His love wherever we go.

Romans 8:6

Peace Makers: Choosing the Right Thoughts

Welcome, Faith Force Peace Makers! Today, we’re exploring the difference between good thoughts and bad thoughts, and how God helps us find peace, as shared in Romans 8:6.

Verse Of The Day:

"The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." (Romans 8:6)

Imagine you’re in a garden full of beautiful flowers. The sun is shining, and everything feels peaceful and calm. Now imagine a garden overgrown with weeds, where nothing can grow properly. That’s what it’s like when we think about good things versus bad things. Romans 8:6 tells us that when we let God’s Spirit guide our thoughts, it’s like choosing to live in that beautiful, peaceful garden.

Our minds are powerful! The things we think about can either bring us closer to God’s peace or fill us with worry and sadness. When we focus on things that are good, kind, and loving—like how much God loves us, or how we can help others—our hearts fill up with God’s peace. But if we only think about selfish or hurtful things, it’s like planting weeds in our minds, and that can make us feel bad inside.

The good news is that God’s Spirit is always there to help us choose the right thoughts. When we ask Him to guide our minds, He helps us find peace and joy, no matter what’s happening around us.

Peaceful Thoughts Garden:

Create a “Peaceful Thoughts Garden” at home! Get a piece of paper and draw a garden with flowers. On each flower, write or draw something that brings you peace or makes you feel close to God, like “Jesus loves me,” “Helping others,” or “Thanking God for my family.” Put this garden where you can see it every day to remind you to fill your mind with good, peaceful thoughts. This helps you focus on what really matters and lets God’s peace grow in your heart.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for helping us choose thoughts that bring us peace. Please guide our minds so that we can focus on what is good and true. Help us to fill our hearts with Your love and to share that love with others. May Your Spirit lead us to a life full of peace and joy. Amen.

Keep planting good thoughts, Faith Force Peace Makers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, let God’s Spirit guide your mind and fill your heart with peace. Remember, the more we think about what’s good, the more our lives will bloom with God’s love.

Ephesians 1:8

Wisdom Seekers: Exploring God’s Amazing Knowledge

Welcome, Faith Force Wisdom Seekers! Today, we're discovering the wonderful wisdom and understanding that God generously gives us, as shared in Ephesians 1:8.

Verse Of The Day:

"With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ." (Ephesians 1:8)

Have you ever tried to solve a tricky puzzle or figure out how something works? It can be really exciting when you finally get it! Ephesians 1:8 tells us that God, in His great wisdom, has shared His amazing plan with us. This plan, which is all about Jesus, helps us understand what God wants for us and how much He loves us.

God’s wisdom is like having the most incredible guidebook ever. It helps us know what to do in life, how to make good choices, and how to love others the way God loves us. The best part is that God doesn’t keep this wisdom to Himself—He shares it with us because He loves us so much! Through Jesus, we can grow in understanding and learn how to live in a way that makes God smile.

Wisdom Treasure Hunt:

Go on a “Wisdom Treasure Hunt” around your home or neighborhood! Parents can hide small notes with wise sayings or Bible verses about wisdom in different places. As you find each note, talk about what it means and how you can apply that wisdom in your life. After finding all the notes, gather as a family and thank God for the wisdom He shares with us. This activity helps us seek God’s wisdom in everyday moments.

Time For A Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for sharing Your wisdom and understanding with us. Help us to seek Your guidance in all that we do and to grow in the knowledge of Your amazing plans for our lives. May we always listen to Your words and live in a way that reflects Your love. Amen.

Keep seeking, Faith Force Wisdom Seekers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that God’s wisdom is always there to guide you. Let His understanding fill your heart as you make choices and explore the wonders of His love.

Genesis 2:2-3

Sabbath Celebrators: Honoring Rest and Renewal

Welcome, Faith Force Sabbath Celebrators! Today, we explore the divine example of rest, as established in Genesis 2:2-3.

Verse Of The Day:

"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." (Genesis 2:2-3)

Imagine completing a big, exciting project—maybe a model airplane or a detailed drawing. After you’ve finished, you take a step back to enjoy your work, resting and reflecting on what you’ve created. This is similar to what God did after creating the world. Genesis 2:2-3 tells us about God’s rest on the seventh day, not because He was tired, but to set an example for us about the importance of rest and reflection after work.

This passage teaches us that rest is not just a break from work; it’s a necessary rhythm of life that God Himself honored and blessed. It’s a time to recharge, celebrate our accomplishments, and prepare ourselves for new challenges ahead. Rest is so vital that God made it holy, reminding us to regularly pause our busy lives to connect with Him and our families, and to care for our own well-being.

Creation and Rest Journal:

Encourage children and their families to keep a “Creation and Rest Journal.” For six days, they can write or draw about their daily activities and achievements. On the seventh day, the journal is used to record thoughts during rest—what they enjoyed, learned, and are thankful for. This practice helps cultivate a rhythm of work and rest, following God’s example.

Time For A Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the blessing of work and the gift of rest. Help us to remember the importance of pausing to rest and reflect, just as You did during creation. May our rest days be a time of rejuvenation and joy, drawing us closer to You and to each other. Amen.

Enjoy your rest, Faith Force Sabbath Celebrators! Remember, until our next Divine Dispatch, balance your week with activity and rest, just as God designed. Let each Sabbath be a holy time to celebrate the past week’s work and to refresh your spirit for what comes next.
