저희 유초등부는 매주일 K-5학년 학생들과 모여 하나님께 마음과 정성을 다해 예배를 드리고 말씀을 배우며 삶 속에서 하나님을 더욱 사랑하고 이웃을 사랑하며 함께 자라나는 곳입니다.
저희 교회 비전센터에 들어오시면 왼쪽 벽에 역대하 7장 성경구절이 적혀있습니다. 솔로몬이 성전을 지은 후, 기도하였을때 여호와께서 에게 나타나셔서 하신 말씀입니다.
“내가 이미 네 기도를 듣고 이 곳을 택하여 내게 제사하는 성전을 삼았으니 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 이제 이 곳에서 하는 기도에 내가 눈을 들고 귀를 기울이리니이는 내가 이미 이 성전을 택하고 거룩하게 하여 내 이름을 여기에 영원히 있게 하였음이라 내 눈과 내 마음이 항상 여기에 있으리라” 이 말씀처럼 저희 아이들이 어린나이일 때부터 하나님을 찾고 기도하며 죄를 회개하고 우리의 죄를 용서하시고 생명을 주신 예수님께 감사드리고 남은 삶 속에서 성령님을 의지하여 말씀에 순종하며 하나님 안에서 목적과 꿈을 찾아 주신 달란트를 하나님 나라를 위해 살아 세상의 빛과 소금이 되길 기도합니다.

Kids Blog-Crossing the Sea
Last week, kids learned that when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.
Bible Story: Crossing the Sea
Bible Verse: "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again." Exodus 14:13
When Pharaoh let the Israelites go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. God knew that if they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt. So God let the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. By day, the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar offire to give them light, so they could travel by day or night. The LORD told Moses to tell the Israelites to encamp by the sea. When the king of Egypt was told that the people had flet, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds. The LORD hardened the heart ofPharaoh king of Egypt, so he pursued the Israelites. When the Israelites saw the Egyptians' army and chariots, they were terrified and cried out to the LORD. They said to Moses that it would have been better for them to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert. However, Moses told the people not to be afraid, instead to stand firm and they will see the deilverance the LORD will bring them. He reminded them that the LORD will fight for them, and they only need to be still. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground." It was God's plan to gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army and the Egyptians will know that He is the LORD. Moses obeyed the LORD and stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided so the Israelites crossed the sea with a wall of water on their right and their left. The Egyptians pursued them and followed them into the sea. However, the LORD swept them into the sea, so not one of them survived. That day the LORD saved Israel from the Egyptians and people feared the LORD and put their trust in Him and Moses his servant.
When the Israelites stood in front of the Red Sea and saw the Egyptians army chasing them in their back, they must have thought that they were surely going to die. They lost all their hope and complained to Moses. Even though they just witnessed God bringing ten plagues to punish the Egyptians and delivered the Israelites from slavery, they forgot that their God is all-powerful, mighty, supernatural, and He can perform miracles and save them once again. Often times, we forget who our God is. Just as God guided the Israelites, protected them with a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire and provided water and food for them in the desert, God is the One who guides us, protects us, and provides everything for us. And when we cry out to God, our God hears us and He has the power and authority to deliver us. When we face hardship in our lives, instead of complaining about the situation, let us put our trust in Him and seek Him with all our heart.
