Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 5
LESSON 5: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY
Being sold into slavery…good or bad? Being chased by a mad King…good or bad? Losing everything you own or hold dear in an utter catastrophe…good or bad?
How many trials and tribulations have you suffered through only to see, on the other side, the good that God intended?
“Natural” forces, life and death, peoples’ hearts, fertility, nations, leaders, battles, good, evil…Who is in control? Is anyone in control of all of these? If so, who and what does it mean to me?

Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 4
LESSON 4: DIVINE POWER – REASON FOR PRAISE, FEAR, AND COMFORT
The following is taken from “Divine Omnipotence” by Dr. Sam Storms of Enjoying God Ministries:
“A reason for praise – Stephen Charnock explains:
“Wisdom and power are the ground of the respect we give to men; they being both infinite in God, are the foundation of a solemn honor to be returned to him by his creatures. If a man makes a curious engine, we honor him for his skill; if another vanquish a vigorous enemy, we admire him for his strength; and shall not the efficacy of God’s power in creation, government, redemption, inflame us with a sense of the honor of his name and perfections!”

Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 3
LESSON 3: “EVEN THE HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED”
This is one of those attributes that, if meditated on long enough, can simply cause our mortal minds to short circuit. Kind of like, if the universe ends then what’s after that, and after that, and so on…God knows everything that there is to know about himself. That alone is mindboggling considering the fact that God is infinite, unlimited and eternal. “In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:11b).
On top of that, God’s knowledge of creation is complete and perfect.

BABY QUEST: July Lessons
Baby QUEST is Reston Bible Church’s ministry to the youngest members of our Body.
Each month, we will feature a guide for your family to use with children ages 0-2. The guide includes follow up activities, a craft or sensory activity, recommended reading, a song, and other tips that are uniquely tailored to the development of infants and toddlers.
The guide follows the themes we are teaching in our nursery classes, giving you an opportunity to connect and reinforce the ideas taught at home. Because children this age need repetition, each activity can be done multiple times throughout the month to continue to press it upon your child’s memory as they grow!
This month, we’re focusing on the story of Daniel and the lion’s den. Children love this story! They are engrossed by the drama of Daniel and the wild, scary lions–but most importantly, the story teaches them many truths, including about God’s power, strength, and protection. We will especially focus on Daniel’s prayers to God and talk about how we can talk to God too. Children will be introduced to prayer, prayed for, and guided to join in prayer on their own.
Big Idea:
We can pray to God!
Scripture Focus:
Daniel 6
Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 2
LESSON 2: TRUE LOVE IS DIVINE
You may remember from our series on sanctification, “Extreme Makeover,” that God’s brand of love can be defined as follows: “Divine love is eternal and totally independent of the object of its favor. Divine love is an affection which stands in spite of any element of attractiveness, desirability, or even value. It also can be hated by the object of its affection, without damaging its intensity or character.”
Moreover, it is characterized by long-suffering and sacrifice. Divine love is perfect and complete. It is perfectly demonstrated in the cross.
