I Will Remember What God Has Done For Me

Let's play a Road Trip Game! I'll name a shape or color and you name something it makes you think of. Ready...Set...Go

1. Round

2. Green

3. Triangle

4. Yellow

5. Red

Were you able to think of things that reminded you of the colors or shapes? I hope so.

Jesus left is 2 things that we were supposed to do to remind us of what God has done for us:

1. Water baptism

-symbolizes we are dead to sin and alive in Jesus

- Jesus was baptized as an example for us

- Immersion: to go completely under the water

2. Communion

- symbolizes Jesus' body and blood that was shed on the cross for our sins

- Jesus asked us to take communion in remembrance of Him until He returns

- examine our hearts before communion to take with a pure and grateful heart

These two "things" are called the "Ordinances of the Church".

We are to keep them so that we remember what God has done for us.

They do not "save" us but are a symbol of what God has done for us and in us!

BONUS: Write down the things God does for you so you will always remember what God has done for you!

memory verse: I will remember the deeds of the Lord. I will remember the miracles of long ago. Psalms 77:11
