For My Grandchildren

From Pops

Feb. 1, 2016

Dear Grandkids,

This feels weird! I’m writing a letter not to be read by any of you for several years – and to at least one of you I’ve never even met. What’s even stranger is that as you read this, I’m not even sure I will be alive at that time.

It’s February 1, 2016. Payton and Eden, you guys are now eight years old and the youngest of you (yet to be born or named) is due in about two months.

As each of you turn 12 years old, I will give you this letter to read (assuming I am alive). If I am already in heaven, I have asked your parents to give it to you on my behalf. Included with this letter you will find a packet with several resources I want you to have. I have explained these resources in detail. Without these resources, I would be writing a letter so long you would never finish reading it.

I hope I have been a good Pops and have made our times together fun. As a preacher, many think I must be serious and somber all the time. I hope you have known me other than this.

Ready, Aim, Pray

Our prayers are most effective when they are aimed at the right target. Join Randy as he starts by looking at why we pray. Use the Lord’s Prayer as a model that helps us aim our prayers at five targets.

Why Pray?

Target #1: God’s Honor

Target #2: God’s Kingdom

Target #3: God’s Provision

Target #4: God’s Forgiveness

Target #5: God’s Power

The Journey

The Journey curriculum is a gospel-centered resource for discipleship groups. Three full years of curriculum are available, and each year contains in-depth leader’s guides and discipleship content to help disciple makers develop mature followers of Christ, who will be able to do the same with others.
