CONNECT 20

    Thursday

    INTRO

    We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.


    Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.


    As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.


    Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

    SCRIPTURE

    And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

    - Leviticus 4:29

    DEVOTIONAL

    Children are natural imitators. They copy everything—how we talk, how we react under pressure, how we treat others, and yes, how we relate to God. This reality carries both tremendous opportunity and sobering responsibility. Faith isn't passed on through information alone. You can teach Bible stories, memorize verses, and attend church regularly, but if your daily life doesn't reflect authentic faith, those lessons become hollow. Children learn most powerfully through imitation, watching how faith is lived out in real moments. This doesn't mean we need to be perfect. In fact, our children need to see us struggle, doubt, and work through difficult seasons while still holding onto God. They need to witness us apologizing when we mess up, seeking forgiveness, and choosing to trust God even when life doesn't make sense. The beautiful truth is that not everyone is called to be a leader in the traditional sense, but everyone can lead someone to Jesus. You don't need a seminary degree or a perfect track record. You just need to be authentic about your own journey with God. When we live out our faith genuinely—praying when we're worried, showing gratitude in good times, extending grace when we're hurt—we're creating a living demonstration of what it means to follow Jesus. This kind of authentic imitation is far more powerful than any sermon or lesson plan.

    PRAY

    Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

    SHARE

    After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

    *Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!


    Memory Verse

    If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    - 1 John 1:9

    Bible Reading Plan

    Bible in 3 Years

    Most believers have a goal to read the entire Bible, but the goal can seem daunting at first. In this plan, you can read the entire Bible over a 3-year period as you commit to just one or two chapters a day. This plan is located within the YouVersion Bible App, and you can begin at any time.
