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-Ezra's Prayer
Last week, kids learned that God's people completed and dedicated the temple despite opposition. The people of Israel celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy. However, when Ezra learned that the people of Israel sinned against the LORD, he fell on his knees, prayed, and mourned over their unfaithfulness. Ezra led people to confession of sin and repentance.
Bible Story: Ezra comes to Jerusalem, Ezra 4-10
Bible Verse: "Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Perisa: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem." Ezra 9:9
God has restored the Israelites by bringing them home from their captivity in Babylon. God has shown favor to His people by moving the kings' hearts to bring honor to God's temple. Ezra and the people were overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness when God's promise was fulfilled and the temple was completed. However, when the leaders came to Ezra and told him that the people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites have engaged in detestable practices and intermarried with the Cannanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammorites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites women, Ezra tore his clothes, fell on his knees, spread out his hands to the LORD and prayed. Ezra confessed people's sin and repented for their unfaithfulness. Ezra mourned over the evil deeds of the people. Ezra was ashamed and disgraced because of their great guilt and acknolwedged that not one of them could stand in God's presence. While Ezra was praying, confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before God, men, women, and children gathered and they too wept bitterly. They repented their sins, made a covenant before their God, and honored Him by separating themselves from their foreign wives. The Israelites not only repented and mourned over their unfaithfulness, they acted and turned away from sin by sending away their foreign wives and their children. Just as God rescued the Israelites from their bondage, God redeemed us from our bondage to sin. God has shown us kindness and compassion by forgiving our sins and giving us new life. Let us repent, thank Him for His love and forgiveness, and let us also turn away from our sin.
