Devotional Do Not Worry ~ Part 1 Welcome to this 'Faith Builders' Devotional! In this devotional, we will be looking at examples of great faith in the Bible and how we can also have great faith!

Faith means to have complete trust in someone or something. In Hebrews 11:1 it tells us that faith is "being sure of the things we hope for. And faith means knowing that something is real even if we do not see it."

God wants us to trust Him and have faith that He is good in everything! He knows about all things and cares about them - even our worries, fears, thoughts and ideas!

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus goes to teach on a mountain. Lots of different people went to see Him. Jesus says to everyone to look at the world around them that God had created. Jesus says that God cares so much for the flowers and the birds. They are beautiful examples of God's creativity and love for us!

Jesus shows how God looks after the birds; He gives them food and a home. When we read about God doing this, we can think about all the ways that God provides what we need too. Because of this, we never have to worry about anything. We can know God is with us in everything we do and that He looks after us so well because He loves and cares for us so much! God cares about what we need, what we think and what we feel not only now, but forever!

Questions: • In what ways has God provided for you?

• Are there any situations where you sometimes feel afraid or lonely?

PRAY: Father God, I thank you that you love me far more than I can ever imagine. I thank

you that you care for me so much and give me everything that I need. Thank you for all the ways that you have provided for me and for the ways that you will provide for me in the future. Thank you that I can live each day fearlessly because of the

truth that you are with me in everything! Help me to be more fearless and understand more that you are fighting for me because you love me so much. Amen.

SCRIPTURE

Hebrews 11:1-King

James Version (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not

seen.

Matthew 6:25-34 King James Version (KJV) Therefore, I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast

into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore, take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need

of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take

therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Paper Roll Cross

Hey Kids! I hope you guys enjoyed your

Sunday School Lesson on Faith Building, and

that you had a great time with your Bible

Scavenger Hunt!

Here is our craft for the week, all the

supplies you need should be easy to find in

your house.

Have FUN with this craft. I am in love with

how they came out and have them hanging

on my wall!

Supplies your will need:

• Cardboard rolls (paper towel, toilet

paper or wrapping paper)

o For the cross below, I used 18”

of wrapping paper roll and 4

toilet paper rolls

• Pen/pencil

• Scissors

• Ruler

• Glue

• Paper clips, bobby pins (to hold

pieces in place as they dry)

• (optional) Markers/spray

paint/acrylic paint/glitter, etc. – to

decorate when complete

First, get your crafting-space ready. I use a

piece of cardboard on my table to protect

your table from getting damaged.

*Set up your supplies that you will be using *

1. Take your cardboard rolls and flatten

them, with your ruler and pencil,

make ½ to 1-inch marks (your choice,

I used ½”). Then, with scissors (you or

your parents) cut on each of those

lines, making petal shaped pieces. If

using two different size rolls, keep

sizes separated.

2. Take 4 pieces of your ½” cardboard

pieces and with a dot of glue, adhere

the 4 corner points together, making

a little cross.

I used two different size cardboard roll’s, so

I made 6 big cross pieces and 6 small cross

pieces.

If the seam starts to come undone on the

inside, just glue it as you go, using your

paper clips or bobby pins to secure while the

glue dries.

NOW ITS TIME

TO GET CREATIVE!

1. Once you make a few of these and

the glue dries, lay them out and

design your cross!

2. Then glue together the cross pieces

3. add any additional pieces to make

your design. Use your imagination!

Make it as detailed or simple as you’d

like.

Simple Cross – example #2

After your glue dries, you are free to

decorate!

(paint, accessorize, glitter)

I spray painted the two crosses gold.

Now they are ready to hang!

Love you all! Hope you enjoyed this craft!
