CCCLampasas CCCLampasas

Hi Guys,

This is our last week of our summer series Family Portraits. Can you believe that summer is almost over and school will be starting soon? I hope you have enjoyed our study as much as I have.

Bible Truth

God can use anyone who is willing and obedient.

Bible Verse

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.

John 14:23 A NIV

Focus

Our series ends with Joseph from the New Testament. I know you are thinking this isn’t Christmas time. Just Eunice, Lois, and Jethro the Bible doesn’t say much about Joseph and are sometimes overlooked. Just like with Eunice and Lois we can learn a valuable lesson from him. Joseph listened to God and obeyed. He was willing to be a part of God’s big plan.

Lesson

Select one or more of the following.

Read Mary and Joseph from the Action Bible pages 558-559.

OR

Watch the Story of Christmas from Saddleback Kids.
