A group of us from Firestarters led middle school chapel this morning at Manheim Christian Day, where Sean and Jen’s children attend school. Sean talked about God’s Father heart of love for us, specifically from Romans 8:14-16. He asked the kids to share some movie characters that they like and then drew a parallel between those characters and God – that knowing “about” a person is not the same as “knowing” a person. In the same way, we can know all the Bible stories and still not know the God who wrote the Bible.
The rest of us who went also shared testimonies of the ways in which God had revealed His love to us and encouraged the kids that they can also experience God’s love. Sean allowed time for the students to pray and connect with God in that way. Then Sean and Diane led them in the song, “Father, I Adore You.”
As the students left the room, Sean and Steve told each one individually that God loves them and has good plans for them. Father, let those truths sink deeply into each of their hearts!
