Episode 5

Parents! This week your family will GET INTO Romans 10:9. You’ll be reminded that to be SAVED you need to DECLARE “Jesus is Lord” and BELIEVE in your HEART that God raised him from the dead.

So, gather your family, cue the video, and … GET INTO IT

After the video remind your family that this week you’ll TALK IT UP and look for ways to ACT IT OUT together. You’ll talk about what it means to BELIEVE in your HEART and find ways to DECLARE who Jesus is in your life. And you’ll talk about what Jesus did for you and what it means to be SAVED by Jesus.

Let’s DECLARE what we BELIEVE right now as we worship with Andrew Osenga and his daughter Sadie. We can ask God to plant these truths deep in our HEARTS. Download the lyrics here.
