Scripture: Luke 6:46–49; John 1:14; John 3:16–18Big Idea: Knowing who Jesus is matters, but following Jesus means putting His words into practice.Read TogetherThe Apostles’ Creed reminds us of the most important truths about Jesus. He is the eternal Son of God who became human, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and reigns as King. These aren’t just facts to memorize—they are truths that should shape how we live.Jesus asked an important question in Luke 6:46: Why do people call Him “Lord” but not do what He says? In other words, it’s possible to know what Jesus teaches without actually following Him.Think about building a house. A house needs a strong foundation to stand when storms come. Jesus said that people who hear His words and put them into practice are like someone who builds a house on solid rock. When life gets difficult, their faith has a strong foundation.We build our lives on Jesus when we learn what Scripture teaches, trust what He says, and take steps to obey Him—even when it’s difficult. We don’t have to change everything overnight. We can begin by asking three simple questions: What does God want me to know? Do I trust Him enough to follow Him? What is one step I can take today?Talk About It: Age-Appropriate QuestionsPreschool (Ages 3–5)Who is Jesus?What does it mean to listen to Jesus?What is one kind thing you can do for someone today?How can we show Jesus we love Him?Elementary (Ages 6–10)What are some important things the Apostles’ Creed teaches us about Jesus?Why is it important not only to hear Jesus’ words but also to obey them?What might it look like to build your life on Jesus at school or at home?What is one teaching of Jesus you can practice this week?Preteens and Teens (Ages 11–18)How does knowing who Jesus is change the way you live?Is there a difference between believing what Jesus says and actually following Him?

Gently shake the surfaces or blow on the sand and talk about which foundation is more secure.Ask: “What are some things that can shake our faith? How does following Jesus help us stand strong?”Remember: A strong faith isn't just about knowing Bible verses. It's about trusting Jesus and living out what He teaches.Our Next StepHave each family member finish this sentence:“This week, I will follow Jesus by __________.”Examples: forgiving someone, telling the truth, including someone who feels left out, spending time reading the Bible, or helping without being asked.Pray Together“Jesus, thank You for being the Son of God who came to save us. Thank You for dying for our sins, rising again, and reigning as King. Help us not only to know what You teach but also to live it out. Show each of us one step we can take to grow in our faith. Help our family build our lives on You, our firm foundation. Amen.”
