Abba –
Father God
Open
Have Heart cut-outs at each table
(One up front with DADDY)
They write a terms of
endearments…nicknames we use for loved ones…on
Why do we use? Why are they
special?
“Don’t call me ‘Baby’, ‘Babe’ or
‘Love’ unless I am the only one you’re calling that”
Abba-
Abba
– Father God
When
you have hit rock-bottom – who do you cry out to?
Jesus
used it the night before the cross
Scriptures
Have Bible races to see who can find the following passages first; ask for different volunteers to read and then discuss as a large group
Mark 14:32-41
Jesus went to God in prayer because He knew God was His source of strength
His friends fell asleep
Galations 4:1-7
We have Jesus in our hearts so we too cry ABBA
Parable of
Prodigal Son
Jesus
taught this parable to show us how God’s love for His children work
Watch
the Skit Guys Prodigal Son
What
did you notice?
What
did the son want?
Why
did the father not force him to stay? (How is this like God?)
When
the son hit rock bottom, who did he turn to?
How
did the father receive the son?
Putting it All
Together and Writing a Thank You
ABBA
Father represents the unending LOVE God has for us
Do you
need to believe and accept that love for yourself?
Maybe
your challenge is to love someone else with that kind of Love?
Take a new heart and write a thank you note to God thanking Him for the Love He has given you. Or maybe you want to write a thank you note to someone who has given you unconditional love like the father in the Prodigal Son Parable. Give it to them or mail it to them this week.
