The Calling of Jeremiah

August 25, 2013—KFW—Calling of Jeremiah

pp. 176-177 in the spark bible

Narrator:  When Jeremiah was just a boy, God told him

God:  You will be a prophet and tell alllllll sorts of people about me!

Jeremiah:  I can’t believe it!  ME???

God: Jeremiah, I knew who you were before you were even growing inside your mom.  You were born to be a prophet!

Narrator:  but Jeremiah was nervous.

Jeremiah:  But God?  I’m just a kid!  I don’t know what to say to grownups.

God:  We’ll do it together.  Where you go, I’ll go with you.  When you talk, I’ll give you the words.

Narrator: God touched Jeremiah’s lips.

God:  Now your mouth is full of my words.  Go tell everybody about my love.

Narrator:  God and Jeremiah made a good team.  Jeremiah took God’s love to many people in many places.  What about you?  Just because you are a kid doesn’t mean God isn’t already doing great things in you and asking you to do great things for him.  What are some ways you can show God to others? 

What are some ways you can serve in the church?  We have an upcoming 55th anniversary of our church and we're looking for video of church members talking about their experiences of LCGS.  Would any of you like to interview people in the church?  We're also thinking about writing our own Christmas play this year--just like they used to do every year here--but having kids write the story for kids.  Would any of you be willing to write the script and story?  What has God called you to here?
