BIG & SMALL: A 5-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ABOUT JOB
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: We are small, but God is big.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Do you ever stop and think about how big God must be? God created this whole world, all of the planets, and stars in the sky . . . God is really big! Knowing God is big can make us feel small and inconsequential. But the truth is, even the small things are a big deal to God. The story of Job will help everyone realize that even though we are small, God listens to our big feelings, God sees the big picture, God cares about every small problem, and we can also be a big help in small ways.

You are the coolest person we know and we love that these kids get to hang out with someone as cool as you! Now, you may not feel trendy, smart, outgoing, athletic, or young enough for kids to think you’re cool, but the good news is that every single one of those things matters much less than we tend to think. You can be a crucial influence in a kid’s life whether or not they ever call you cool.

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Volunteer Tip Video #3 from your Volunteer section.

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!

If you’re a small group leader, you’re the best link we have between our church and your family. So here’s a question: Have you found success connecting with kids’ families so far this year? Tell us about it!
