The Hampton Park Baptist Church children’s ministry exists to glorify God in the church by providing purposeful, Christ-centered instruction for the formative years of a child’s life. Life by the book begins in the cradle and continues throughout life. We labor to evangelize and disciple children through intentional instruction and prayer. We seek to raise believing children by introducing them to Jesus at the earliest age possible, and we cultivate a learning atmosphere by teaching core Christian doctrine and encouraging Scripture memory. The goal of the children’s ministry is to develop God-loving and people-loving children whose lives have been transformed by the gospel and whose lives are growing in gospel-centered thinking and living. We are dedicated to worship as the central role in a child’s life, because all that we do should center around Jesus Christ and His glory. The church’s discipleship of children should result in young lives that are vitally involved in their local churches and involved in spreading the gospel to their community (witnessing).

Children's Ministry Update - Week of January 29, 2011

This week’s Big Idea: “We should seek to have hearts that please the Lord.”

 

This week we continue our study of the book of 1 Samuel and look at 1 Samuel 16; we’ll learn that “God Sees David’s Heart.” We often judge, as Samuel did, the measure of a person by their outward appearance. After all, that’s what we can see! God, however, considers a person’s heart. Those who are in Christ are seen as perfectly righteous; therefore, we are all equal! All men are created in God’s image, and all who trust in Christ alone for salvation become God’s children. Ask God for grace to help you get to the hearts of the children in your class this week.

 

Application:

  • Praise God, who knows all men’s hearts.
  • Learn what pleases the Lord, who examines your heart.
  • Confess areas where you are more concerned about pleasing yourself than the Lord.
  • Depend on Christ’s sacrifice to be cleansed from sin.
  • Do not judge people by their outward appearance.
