Parents, what a joy it is to serve your precious arrows on Sunday mornings! The Little Reformers team wants you to always have full visibility to what we are teaching your kids. It is important to us that we be effective partners to you, reinforcing what you work hard to teach your children at home. Each week, we update this section of the website to reflect the lesson, the big truth, gospel point, verse, and catechism your child(ren) will learn while in our care. We hope this resource is a help to you and gives you confidence as you train up your children in the way they should go.

Bible Story: Chapter 14. Free at Last (Exodus 4-15)

The Big Truth: God saves his people from the Egyptians.

The Gospel Point:  Have you noticed a pattern in how God works? Trouble before triumph. Suffering before salvation. Danger before deliverance. The story of our rescue in Jesus is no different. He is rejected by his people. He is arrested, sentenced to die, mocked, spit on, slapped, and finally crucified on a cross. Trouble. Suffering. Danger. But the story isn’t over. Next comes triumph, salvation, and deliverance! Jesus rises from the dead. He triumphs over the grave. Jesus saves everyone who believes in him. And he will return to deliver us from trouble, suffering, and danger. And do you remember that peculiar way God saved the Israelites? Death passed over those who put the blood of a lamb on their doorposts. He did that to give us all a clue about how he would save the whole world later on. Through the blood of a more perfect Lamb, God passes over our sin. Everyone who accepts the blood of Jesus, our sinless Passover Lamb, will be saved. If you believe in Jesus as the perfect sacrifice for your sin, God will pass over you on judgment day. You too can be free at last!

Memory Verse: Deuteronomy 6:5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Catechism: Q: 49. Who will be saved? A: Only those who repent of sin and believe in Christ. (Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3, 5, Acts 2:37-41, 16:30-31, 20:21, 26:20)
