This Month’s Attribute of God Is: God Is in Control

Nothing catches God off guard – not even the weather! God is in control and is always prepared, even when we are not. No matter what the forecast looks like, we can rest knowing that God remains sovereign over it all. 

Bible Connections: Our stories this month teach kids that God is in control! God protected the early church by exposing Ananias and Sapphira’s deceit and led Philip to the Ethiopian at just the right time to share the Gospel. God miraculously rescued Peter from prison, showing His power over human plans. God used Paul to proclaim the truth to people who had never heard it, and He placed Priscilla and Aquila in Apollo’s path to explain the Gospel more clearly. In each moment, God was directing and fulfilling His plan. 

Our monthly memory verse comes from 1 Chronicles. 

Preschool: Yours is the greatness and the power and the glory.

Elementary: Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is heavens and the earth is Yours. (1 Chronicles 29:11)

This Month’s Biblical Theme is: God Helps!

We can dive fully into what God has called us to do, knowing we’re never alone. God is good and always there to help. Just like a swim teacher shows the right strokes, the Holy Spirit guides us in how to love others. And like a lifeguard who never stops watching, our Lifeguard—God—is always looking out for us. We can call on Him anytime, and He will be there.

Our stories this month teach kids how God helps! God gives us the Holy Spirit to guide and grow us, helping us live like Jesus. He helps us have faith and trust Him even when things are hard. God also equips us to do His work, just as He helped Timothy lead and serve the church. Through wisdom and love, He helps us care for others and live out our faith in practical ways. In every situation, God gives the help we need to follow Him.
