Theme: Self-Control–Week 3 – David and Saul in the caves of En-Gedi Under the theme of Self-Control this month, children delved into the story of David. They explored how David, a young shepherd, was anointed to become King and how God aided him in defeating the giant Goliath with just a stone and a sling. As David rose to power, he faced persecution from Saul, compelling him to live in the wilderness. Despite the adversity, David exhibited self-control by refraining from seeking vengeance against Saul. Notably, when David encountered Saul in the Caves of En-Gedi, he chose not to harm him, exemplifying his righteous character. The children also discussed real-life scenarios that could provoke impulsive reactions and the role of prayer in maintaining self-control. A rewarding week of fostering self-discipline!

August Monthly Theme – Obedience

Theme: Ungodliness–Week 1-Sodom & Gomorrah The Ungodliness of Sodom and Gomorrah: A Lesson in Sin and Destruction The biblical tale of Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of ungodliness and the destructive nature of sin. It highlights the importance of relying on God’s strength to resist temptation and live a virtuous life, even amid a sinful environment. This summary explores the themes of ungodliness, the need for God’s strength, the power of prayer, and the consequences of turning away from righteousness. The Sinful Nature of Sodom and Gomorrah: The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were infamous for their ungodliness and rampant sin. Sin, by its very nature, separates individuals from God, hindering their spiritual growth and distancing them from divine guidance and protection. Our kids learnt at Sunday school that living in a sinful environment presents numerous challenges, and it is only through God’s strength that one can resist temptation and maintain a clean and righteous lifestyle. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah helped our kids to know the importance of relying on God’s power to overcome the corrupting influences of the world and to stand firm in our faith.

Week 4 – Missionary week- The Corrie ten Boom story This is the last week of the month and today our kids learnt about ‘The story of Corrie ten Boom’ which offers valuable lessons for our children. Firstly, it teaches them about resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges and dangers during World War II, Corrie and her family remained steadfast in their faith and commitment to helping others. The story also emphasizes the importance of compassion and selflessness. Corrie’s father risked his own freedom to protect and assist those in need, showing children the power of empathy and kindness. Additionally, Corrie’s ability to forgive and love even those who had wronged her demonstrates the significance of forgiveness and the capacity for healing. Overall, the story of Corrie ten Boom encouraged our RWC kids to have faith, show compassion, and persevere in the face of challenges. Matthew 5:14 ‘But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you’

Theme-Lying is sinful- Week 2- –Rahab’s Life This week our kids learnt how lying is sinful from life of Rahab, a Canaanite woman and former prostitute, is known for her remarkable faith and the role she played in the conquest of Jericho. When Israelite spies were sent to scout the land of Canaan, Rahab protected them and hid them from her city’s authorities. She demonstrated her faith in God by acknowledging His might and choosing to align herself with His people. Rahab’s faith led her to act and request that the spies spare her and her family during the impending destruction of Jericho. In return, the spies agreed, and Rahab tied a scarlet cord in her window as a sign of protection. When Jericho was attacked, Rahab and her family were saved, showcasing the power of her faith and God’s mercy. This story serves as a powerful reminder that faith must be accompanied by action and that lying is a sinful act with consequences.
