It’s NOVEMBER!

This month the Element is THANKFULNESS.

The Big Idea for the week is WE HAVE MANY REASONS TO BE THANKFUL. As we will learn from God’s Word, we should fill every day with feelings of thankfulness. Even when things are not going the way we want them to, there is always something for which we can be thankful. What are you thankful for this week? Comment below to share what you are Thankful for.

In class we talked about Exodus 15, and we find the Israelites had just witnessed the mighty power of God at the Red Sea. Not only did God divide the waters into two halves so they could walk through on dry land, but He completely wiped out the Egyptian army that was chasing them. can you imagine what it would have been like to see those events? Do you think you would ever, EVER forget what God had done for you? I hope none of us would. Just three days after they had witnessed the amazing power and protection of God, they were in a dry place and had run out of water. When they did finally find water, at a place called Marah, they couldn’t drink it because it was very bitter. Remember now, it was only three days since God’s awesome power had been on display and they celebrated His goodness to them. What do you think they did? They chose to grumble and complain. The Bible tells us God instructed Moses to throw a tree branch into the water, and it made the water sweet and refreshing! God provided the people with another reason to be thankful! How amazing is our God?! He provides even when we complain! Imagine if they had been appreciative even during the dry times? What amazing things would God do?!

We look forward to seeing you next Sunday. Listen to the podcast below to hear all about our lesson.
