Bible Point: Jesus fulfilled God’s promise.

Some of the Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment in Christ (Jeremiah 33:14-16). Strengthen your family’s faith learning and growth at home with this easy idea:
- Tell about a time someone kept an important promise to you. How did it feel for the promise to be kept? How would it have felt if the person had failed to keep the promise?
- Then encourage your children to talk about the need to believe in what we say to each other.
- Talk about ways that God’s promises are trustworthy.
PRAYER
