Dear Parents,
This week, we have the opportunity to explore the teachings of “Samson and the Philistines” (Judges 13-16).
God chose Samson before he was born to help save Israel from the Philistines. God gave Samson great strength through the power of the Holy Spirit. Though he sometimes made unwise choices, God still used him for His purpose. When Samson shared the secret of his strength, he was captured. But in his final moments, he prayed for strength, and God used him to defeat the Philistines. This reminds us that true strength comes from God, and through Jesus, we receive the power to live for Him.
This message will inspire your child to grow in the love and light of Jesus. Reinforce the lesson at home by discussing the following points with your child:
- God Has a Purpose for Us: Samson was set apart by God from birth. How does God have a special plan for your life too?
- True Strength Comes From God: Samson’s power wasn’t his own. How does God give us strength through His Spirit?
- God Works Through Imperfect People: Samson made mistakes, but God still used him. How does Jesus help us when we mess up?
You might consider praying with your child, asking God for strength to do what is right and to follow His purpose each day.
Grace and blessings in Christ.
