MichelleJesus Has the Answer
I'm really excited for this weekend. I think what we're teaching the kids is something they can grab hold of and build their future upon. I know after working on the curriculum this week, my own perspective on some situations in my own life have been re-focused. During the lesson, teachers will say, "I have a problem" several times during their teaching. Each time the children hear this, they will need to stand up and shout, "Jesus has the answer." WOW, did your hear that? When you have a problem, any problem big or small, JESUS HAS THE ANSWER.
Please don't think I'm saying that the answer is simple or the solution is instantaneous, but sometimes I think we live our lives like we don't even believe the statement on it's face value. We look for answers everywhere and with everyone, until we finally remember that Jesus has the answer. I'm so excited, because children from age three through fifth grade are going to leave church Sunday repeating that Jesus has the answer to their problem. As a children's ministry it is our job to help them find where to look for the answer and how to let God show us answers, but believing the simple statement is the first and most important step in the process.

We hit the Big Idea (the phrase itself) pretty hard in the elementary services this weekend, so it will be interesting to see how many parents talk about the Big Idea at home this week!
"I've got a problem...Jesus has the answer!"
