“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5).

The children at Newsong LA will learn this week that because Jesus cares for us, he wants to meet our needs (Mark 10:46-52).

Parents: Choose a time to call each of your children on the

phone at some point during the week. (If your children are too

young to talk on the phone, set aside a couple of minutes to have a

conversation with them one-on-one.) Spend a few minutes focusing on each child, and tell your children why you love and care for them.

Remind your children that even though sometimes you might seem

too busy to listen, God is always listening. Offer to pray for something

that concerns your child, and remind him or her that God wants to

meet all our needs.

Family Prayer: God, thank you for listening to us when we talk to you. This week, help

us remember to ask you to meet all our needs. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Don’t miss next week when we discover that following Jesus takes commitment.
