Helping Kids Grow Strong In God

 

Jesus gave the following direction to His first disciples:

“Go into all the world and make disciples.”

Jesus is saying the same thing to those of us that teach kids in the 21st century.

He wants us to ‘make disciples’ of the kids in our class.

This begs the following questions,

• How do I actually make a disciple?

• What does a disciple look like?

• What does a disciple do?

The word disciple means ‘to teach and to train.’

Bottom line: A disciple of Christ is someone who listens to Christ and obeys Christ.

If this seems incredibly simple it is.

The world is getting more and more complicated, but a relationship with Christ can be summed up in five basic steps.

Here are five steps for helping kids grow strong in Christ.

1) Born Again – I want my kids to do more than repeat the sinner’s prayer. I want them to have a real relationship with Christ.

2) Read The Bible – We need to teach kids about the
importance of reading the Bible, but we also need to build Bible reading into our programs. If kids do not learn how to read the Bible they will never become a disciple of Christ. (I do this in my small group time.)

3) Go To Church – God speaks to us at church. He speaks to us through our leaders and our friends. I see a lot of people beating up on the church today, but I have observed when people stop attending church, they begin to grow weak spiritually.

4) Prayer – Prayer is not just talking to God. Half of our prayer life should be spent listening to God. God speaks to us during our prayer time.

5) Obey – God speaks to me through the Bible. God speaks to me at church. God speaks to me through pray, but I really start to grow spiritually when I obey God and do what He says. Jesus said it like this, If you love me keep my commandments. Strong disciples are people who hear God’s voice and obey. They may be 10 years old or they may be 50 years old. Age is not a requirement for spiritual growth. Obedience is the requirement for spiritual growth.
