Big and Small - Week 4
No problem is too small for God!
Do you ever stop and think about how big God must be? God created this whole world, all of the planets, and stars in the sky . . . God is really big! Knowing God is big can make us feel small and inconsequential. But the truth is, even the small things are a big deal to God. The story of Job will help everyone realize that even though we are small, God listens to our big feelings, God sees the big picture, God cares about every small problem, and we can also be a big help in small ways.

DISCIPLE:
Give each family member a big card and a small card and tell them to think of a big problem and a small problem. A big problem could be something like world hunger, whereas a small problem could be fighting with a friend.
Once they have finished their cards, have them put the cards in the middle of the table and then take turns reading the problems.
How do we treat each other when we hear about our problems? We listen respectfully. We don’t laugh or joke. We show kindness and love to one another.
How often does God listen to our problems? God always listens!
No problem is too small for God!
