Use the resources below as we continue our children's series about the Armor of God. This week we will focus on the second piece of armor that the apostle Paul mentions to the Ephesian church- the Breastplate of Righteousness. After fastening your Belt of Truth, you must ask Jesus to help put on your righteousness. It is too heavy to carry on your own. Once you know the truth of God's word, you only have to ask Jesus to help make you righteous...and he WILL! Kid's MessageFamily Discussion"Without the belt of truth, you are left with the burdensome responsibility of carrying the full weight of your own 'breastplate'- our righteousness." - Priscilla Shirer
As we discuss the role of the breastplate of righteousness, talk about what righteousness looks like to each of us. Discuss how trying to carry our own righteousness is too great a burden to carry on our own without Jesus. Just like an armorbearer who puts on the armor for his master, so Jesus does the heavy lifting for each of us...all we have to do is ask him. Read Ephesians 6:10-18 and discuss with your child.

Use the resources below as we begin a new children's series about the Armor of God. This week we will focus on the first piece of armor that the apostle Paul mentions to the Ephesian church- the Belt of Truth. Without a good belt, everything becomes more difficult, like moving, protecting ourselves and interacting with others. Knowing the truth of God's word makes our life better and more productive in carrying out our main mission- letting others know about Jesus! Kid's MessageFamily Discussion:"Without the belt of truth, you are left with the burdensome responsibility of carrying the full weight of your own 'breastplate'- our righteousness." - Priscilla Shirer
As we discuss the role of the belt of truth, begin to think ahead to how knowing the truth and applying it to your own life can help with the other parts of the Armor of God. Read Ephesians 6:10-18 and discuss with your child.
Family LearningJosiah's age didn't stop him from doing great things for God. Talk with your kids about some of the ways they can use their faith for good even today. Share some ways that you grew in your faith when you were their age. Remind them that Josiah was able to accomplish a lot of good because he also had some great advisors (just like they have parents, teachers, and other grown-ups who want to help them be the best they can be).
