Made to Magnify - Parent Connection


 Objective - Students will understand that they were made on purpose by God to glorify Him and will discover how to magnify Him in whatever they do.

 

 

Key Scripture - Isaiah 43:7 “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

 

 

Key Thought - We were made to magnify our Maker.

 

 

Lesson Summary – Today’s lesson was the second lesson in a four-part series called Made: In the Image of God. The goal of this lesson is for students to understand that human beings were, first of all, made, and they were made to magnify their Maker.

 

Just like things that are designed have a designer, we too have a Designer. The students learned that they weren’t created by accident or happenstance, but they were fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Specifically, we used the example of the world’s largest LEGO set. The replica of the London Tower bridge took 5.8 million LEGO bricks but certainly didn’t assemble itself. It was designed and constructed on purpose.

 

Your student learned they were created by God to show His glory to the world. We are to represent God wherever we go and in whatever we do. We should make it a habit to magnify Him in our home, school, community, and church in whatever we do, both big and small. Your student was challenged to make a point to purposely magnify their Maker in one way this week.

 

As a way to keep this truth in front of your student this week, each day when your student gets out of bed ask them, “How can we magnify our Maker today?” Then, join with them in magnifying God together.

Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 20

Dear Parents, This week in The Thread study, we looked at a new perspective. While we know that God’s grace is the only solution for our sin, it is important that we recognize God desires our obedience. In this lesson, titled “The Rise and Fall of Solomon,” students looked at God’s covenant with Solomon. Just as with generations before him, Solomon learned that God disciplines us when we are disobedient. By comparing Solomon’s story with the words of Jesus, students clearly saw that throughout time God has singularly desired our whole heart! We looked at the following Scripture passages: 1 Kings 1:28-30; 3:4-15; 9:1-9; 11:1-13 John 14:23-24 While the whole story of Solomon is fascinating, these passages will help you see the highlights that were studied. Next Steps . . . During the week set aside a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager: ·          So, this week you studied how God views obedience....
