Thrivent - Lunch Update

Sunday School

This week students will learn about how Deborah becomes Israel's Judge (Judges 4:1-16) and that God is patient and helps us know what to do. 

If you've ever felt like you failed God, welcome to the club! Since the dawn of humanity, we've been making mistakes, rebelling against God, and going our own way. True: God's not happy about that. Also true: He still lavishes us with love and forgiveness. There's great peace in knowing that God's love won't change in the face of our transgressions. He won't abandon us. He helps us, even (maybe especially) when we don't deserve it. 

Deborah was a wise and important woman whose job was helping people connect to God. God worked through her to deliver the Israelites an epic win, even when they might not have deserved it. 

We get to be a living example of God's unconditional love to young children, who are perfectly imperfect and flawed. This lesson helps children to see that God loves them even when they make mistakes or have a bad day. He's patient, gentle, and caring, and he's always ready to help.
