TruthQuest
In Search of the ONE and ONLY Truth!
In a world where everyone has their own "truth," and claims that whatever you want to believe can be "your truth," and what I want to believe can be "my truth," we're after the One and Only Truth - understanding that there can only be ONE TRUTH. Truth is truth. What is Right is Right. And God is the Author of what is True and Right.
Dads, Moms, Kids - use this page together to review or further explore what was learned at church, or if you weren't able to get to church today, then you can learn and live it out at home! After all, the Church is wherever you are! LET'S GO!
This month we are introducing kids to basic questions and answers related to understanding and defending their Christian faith—the study of apologetics. While apologetics is often used as a witnessing tool, its proper place is to strengthen the faith of believers. Nonbelievers will rarely be argued into coming to Christ. Everyone must come to Christ by faith. However, apologetics can be used to show that Christianity is reasonable and that trusting Christ does not require abandoning reason and logic. Our faith makes sense; there are answers to the tough questions nonbelievers ask and that come up naturally even to Christians as we think about what we believe. While most children don’t consciously worry about these issues, it is important to help prepare them for these questions and to teach them that having questions is okay. Children need the confidence that when they think logically and search God’s Word, He will provide His answers!

OUR LESSON THIS WEEK:
GOD is the SOURCE of TRUTH!
God created us, loves us and desires us to KNOW and FOLLOW the Truth!
WE WORSHIP ONE AMAZING GOD!
From the vastness and BIGNESS of space, to the tiniest atom and electron to animals and nature, our GOD is amazing! One of the ways we know God is REAL is just by looking at our INCREDIBLE WORLD and all that God made!
Our universe is JUST TOOOO AMAZING to be an accident that happened by chance. It was created by an artist! What are some of the things you LOVE about the world God made?
HOW CAN WE KNOW THAT GOD EXISTS?
Meet Professor O who explains one of the ways we can understand how we know God exists. You'll even learn a really big cool word! "Teleological!"
TALK ABOUT IT!
What did you learn in this video? How would YOU explain the Teleogocial Argument for the Existence of God to someone?
EPIC LEGO STAR DESTROYER!
THIS LINK will show you me and my friend Ryan putting together my EPIC STAR DESTROYER lego kit years ago!
The box was HUGE! It had THOUSANDS of pieces!
Here are some things to think about...
The same is true of our WORLD! There is NO WAY it "just appeared!" Someone had to design it, make it, and put it all together and we KNOW who that Someone is - it's GOD!
Here are some things to think about...
- Someone had to design that kit.
- Someone had to write the instructions.
- Someone had to make all the pieces.
- Someone had to put it all in the box.
- Someone even had to make the box.
- The Star Destroyer couldn't put itself together! Someone (me and Ryan) had to put it together.
The same is true of our WORLD! There is NO WAY it "just appeared!" Someone had to design it, make it, and put it all together and we KNOW who that Someone is - it's GOD!
