Responsibility: Showing you can be trusted with what is expected of you.
Memory Verse: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” Luke 16:10a
January Series: In Psalms 24:1, David wrote, “The earth belongs to the Lord. And so does everything in it.” (NIrV) God is the author of creation, and He has entrusted us to care for and cultivate the world we see around us. We do that by taking responsibility. From work we need to accomplish, to people we meet, to the words we use, life is filled with moments when we can decide to reflect God’s character, take responsibility, and use what we have wisely. When we follow through and do what needs to be done, we can point others to Jesus — the One who took the ultimate responsibility for us and made it possible for us to be with God forever.

Christmas: Celebrating Jesus, God’s greatest gift!
Memory Verse: “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
December series: This December, we’re singing loudly as we jam out to our Christmas Playlist to celebrate Jesus, God’s greatest gift! The best gift God ever gave was Jesus. Because of Jesus, we can have a relationship with God that will last forever. As we get in the mix this Christmas season, let’s take time to remember the reason we celebrate in the first place: Jesus, the greatest gift the world has ever known.

Self-Control: Choosing to do what’s best even when you don’t have to
Memory Verse: “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life.” 2 Peter 1:3A
November series: Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35, NIrV) However, sometimes generosity doesn’t come naturally to us. When we really enjoy the things we have, sometimes that makes it harder for us to be willing to share with others. But, with the help of God’s Spirit, we can learn that HOW we give is more important than even WHAT we give. It’s about our hearts.Â

Self-Control: Choosing to do what’s best even when you don’t have to
Memory Verse: “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life.” 2 Peter 1:3A
October series: There are lots of choices we need to make in life, but what do we do when we’re confronted with all of these choices? Do we rush ahead? Or do we pause and let God lead us toward the best way to act? Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s one of the ways we can tell God is transforming our lives and we’re growing in our faith. When we follow Jesus, God’s Spirit is with us and helps us make the wise choice.Â

Compassion: Caring enough to do something about someone else’s needs
Memory Verse: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
September series: When people make time for us, it can bring us joy — it’s like a light shining on a dark day. Caring for one another isn’t always the easy thing to do, but it certainly is what Jesus asks of us. When Jesus gave the command in Matthew 5 to let our light shine, it wasn’t just to bring joy into each other’s lives but also to bring glory to God. We are reflections of who God is, and as we “Live Bright” this month, we’ll discover exactly how we can shine God’s light.
