Children’s message 02/08/2015
contemporaneous notes

Scouting Sunday

You can make a difference

-         Mystery Box –
o   cross and Boy Scout medallion with
§  “You Make a Difference” on it

-         Have you ever heard about a problem in the world but didn’t know how you as one person couldn’t make a difference? or
-         Have you ever felt a time in life when you were asked to join something but you thought you couldn’t make a difference?

-         When something like that happens we need to remember that there is a power bigger than you, than us.
o   We have strength greater than ourselves in God
o   We have a hope at the foot of the cross through Christ, through God.
o   We can get through, our strength grows
o   God and Christ can make a difference through us.

-         In this world, you can make a difference.
o   The world is better already just because you are in it.
o   We serve to make a difference

-         You can AND will make a difference in this life if you stay close to God and Christ.
