40 Days Parent Cue (Week 6)

 

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.  (Psalm 119:105)

 

This blog is your cue.  Every Wednesday we’ll post a “Parent Cue” which will tune you in to what we are talking about at theEDGE and cue you in on some steps you can take to lead your student into taking their next steps. 

Overview (3/21/12):  After five weeks of learning how to develop a relationship with God and how to study the bible, we "Review It" and talk about making a Next Steps Plan.  Jesus said, "I am the vine and you are the branches, if you remain in me you will bear much fruit."  So, what does it look to remain in God and remain in his word?  How do we continue on to remain in the word of God when the 40 Days in the Word is finished?

Next Steps Plan:  We all need to make a plan of what we are going to do when the 40 Days in the Word experience is done.  The students will ask and answer these questions to develop their plan.

1.  When will you spend time with God daily?

2.  Where will you spend time with God daily?

3.  What book of the bible or bible reading plan will you begin with?

4.  Who will you share your thoughts with? 

Parent Cue:  This week your student will spend time using Psalm 1 to practice all 6 devotional bible study methods that they have learned over the past couple of weeks.  This week's "Parent Cue" is for you to develop and share your "Next Steps Plan" and then share it with your student.  Using the 4 questions above, develop and share your Next Steps Plan for remaining in God's word.  Then ask your students to share their plan.  Some students may actually benefit from actually making a family plan or developing the plan together.  This exercise is meant for you and your child to share together
