Follow the link in our bio for this week's CPKids at Home. Jesus showed His disciples with the bread and the drink that He is the true Passover Lamb. God’s people had broken the old covenant, and God promised to make a new covenant to forgive sins. The new covenant says that everyone who turns away from sin and trusts in Jesus’ death and resurrection will be forgiven of his sins and will have eternal life.

During Jesus’ triumphal entry, the people welcomed Him as King. Jesus was the Messiah spoken about by the prophet Zechariah: Look, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey (Zechariah 9:9). One day, Jesus will return to earth on a white horse as King over everything. Help your kids connect the dots between God’s promises of a Messiah and Jesus’ coming. Help them understand why Jesus came: to save the world from sin! Follow the link in our profile for this week's lesson.

As you talk with your kids, help them begin to grasp the truth about God’s kingdom. The kingdom of God is growing in the world. This kingdom is valuable and worth giving everything for. While we wait for Jesus to return and fully set up His kingdom, we carry out the mission of telling others about King Jesus, who rescues sinners.

Jesus showed His glory to Peter, James, and John. Jesus said He would die, rise from the dead, and return to heaven. One day, Jesus will come back to earth in His glory to make all things new. When you share with your kids, review who Moses and Elijah were. In the Old Testament, God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Later, Elijah was a prophet to Israel. As Moses and Elijah were leaving, a cloud covered the whole group and a voiceGod the Father’ssaid, This is my Son, the Chosen One; listen to him!

Jesus proved that He can be trusted. His miracles, teaching, death, and resurrection showed that He is who He says He is. Only Jesus can save us when we look to Him in faith. As you talk with your kids, encourage them to look to Jesus in faith every day. We can seek Him for our salvation and for help as we live in this world. Even in the midst of fear and doubt, we can hold out our empty hands and cry, Lord, save me! He will answer, and we can respond in worship of our Lord and Savior.

By feeding the five thousand, Jesus provided for the physical needs of the crowd. The next day, Jesus called Himself the bread of life. (John 6:35) Only Jesus is able to satisfy our souls forever by providing forgiveness, peace with God, and eternal life. As you share with your kids, help them know that God can and will provide for our needs. Kids can trust Him for their daily bread. (See Matt. 6:11.) God met our greatest need in giving us salvation through Jesus.

Our new Key Passage is Psalm 40:5. Jesus’ calming a storm is just one of many miracles Jesus performed when He was on earth. Let’s work on memorizing our key passage over the next few weeks so we can remember what is true about God: He has done many wondrous things! No one can compare to Him.

CPKids was so fun! Thanks for coming today! @ CrossPointHB

Jesus’ disciples knew Jesus was a good man and a good teacher. But when Jesus calmed the wind and the waves, He showed His disciples that He is also God. God rules the sea and stills its waves. (Psalm 89:9) As you talk with your kids, seize the opportunity to share the gospel. Help them understand the truth the disciples did not yet fully grasp. Who is this man? He is the Messiah, the Savior, and the Son of God.

As sheep, we might sometimes wander our own way. We may even forget that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who cares for His people. Jesus isn’t walking the earth as a human today, but God gives believers His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reminds us what is true. He helps us and guides us as we live on earth, waiting for the day Jesus will return and set up His kingdom forever.

Join us for this week's lesson, The Good Shepherd (John 10). Jesus is the Good Shepherd. God sent Him to rescue sinners. Jesus laid down His life for His sheep so they could have forgiveness and eternal life. When we trust in Jesus, we are His sheep who listen to, follow, and obey Him.

When we forget what is true about God, we can ask the Holy Spirit to remind us of what Jesus taught about Himself. The Holy Spirit can help us understand God’s Word.

Join us for Jesus Taught About Possessions (Luke 12). God gives us good gifts on earth. We can steward these gifts for His glory. Earthly treasures will not last forever. Jesus is our greatest treasure. Jesus left His place in heaven to live humbly on earth. Jesus obeyed God to set up His kingdom. We can give generously and trust God to provide everything we need.

Jesus knew He would be on earth for a short time. He came to earth to do God’s plan by dying on the cross and rising again. Then Jesus returned to heaven, but He promised something wonderful: God would send His Spirit. The Holy Spirit reminds us of everything Jesus has taught us. Did you know the Holy Spirit also helps us pray? Romans 8:26 says the Holy Spirit even speaks to God for us!
