RISE UP WEEK 3
Jesus gives us encouragement
Watch this week’s video
READ: The Miraculous Catch of Fish: John 21:1-17; (Psalm 4:1-3)
MEMORY VERSE: Romans 10:9
"If you declare with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Grab your hiking boots and pitch a tent. It’s time to summit through the story of Jesus—who rose from death and gave us everything we need for our journey. This month, we’re learning about how the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection strengthens us and changes our relationships in the best way. Everyone will have a chance to put these ideas in their backpack to carry with them always: Jesus overcame death. Jesus connects us to each other. Jesus gives encouragement. We are stronger with Jesus.

DISCIPLE:
Gather your family and encourage them to play a few rounds of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" against each other, replacing the words with, "Rock, Paper, Cheerers." Whoever wins the round has to create a cheer for those who lost and chant it a few times. The game continues like this until every person has had a chance to cheer for everyone else.
Explain that sometimes in life, things don't go like we would like them to and we can get disappointed.In those moments, Jesus will encourage us or send others to encourage us!
In what ways can Jesus bring encouragement into your life? Make a list and help your children remember those things listed throughout the week when they may experience discouragement.
Pray with your family... "Dear God, thank you for encouraging us. You show us mercy and love even when we don't deserve it. Help us to show each other mercy. We want to be encouraging and loving like you. Amen"
