God Is Redeemer To Those Who Have No Hope
Big Truth:
God Is Redeemer To Those Who Have No Hope
Psalm 130:7-8; Romans 3:23-26; Ephesians 2:12; Colossians 1:13-14; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Revelation 5:8-10
Bible Verse:
…Then all flesh shall know that I am the Lord your Savior, and your Redeemer…
Big Ideas:
- Sin separates us from God.
- Separation from God leaves us hopeless.
- God gives hope to those separated from Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Bible Story:
Ruth 1:1-4:22We are all in need of a Savior. Our sin is too great and we are unable to pay our sin debt. Because we all are sinful and we all owe a sin debt, we need Jesus as our Redeemer. God gave His Son to be our Redeemer, just as He provided Boaz to be Ruth’s kinsman redeemer.
Foundation:
God Is Redeemer – God Gives The Church
God does not just save us from eternal punishment, but also redeems us. The word redemption means to buy back. This means that God sets us free from the slavery of sin through the death of His Son. God is not just redeeming us as individuals though, but He instead is redeeming a people, His church. The church is the collection of believers both universal (Christians everywhere) and local (Christians who meet together locally). God has set apart His people to declare His praises.
Every child should know that:
- God is our Redeemer when we have no hope
- Redemption is when we are set free from our sin and brought into right relationship with God
Every child should be able to:
- Describe the gospel message
Every child should feel:
- Hope that comes through Jesus our Redeemer
Every child should want:
- To live in hope, not separation
