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-Cyrus helps the Exiles to return
Last week, kids leanred that God kept His promise and brought His people home to rebuild the temple to glorify God.
Bible Story: Rebuilding the Temple Ezra 1-3
Bible Verse: With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD, "He is good; his love toward Israel endures forever." And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. Ezra 3:11
Two weeks ago, we learned that when Daniel was reading the Scriptures, he understood that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So Daniel turned to the LORD God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting. Jeremiah 25:11-12 wrote, "This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years. But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians for their guilt," delcares the Lord," and will make it desolate forever." Jeremiah 29:10 said, "This is what the LORD says, "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place."
In Ezra 1, we witness God fulfilling His promise, the Word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah. And God uses Cyrus king of Persiato bring His people home from captivity. Ezra 1 tells us that God moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia and made a proclamation for His people to go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD. People of Judah prepared to go up and build the house of the LORD and all their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver, gold, goods, livestock, valuable gifts, and freewill offerings. King Cyrus also brought out the articles that Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple of the LORD. When the Israelites arrived in Jerusalem, they began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it. They built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD both the morning and evening sacrifices. They also celebrated the Festival of Tabernacles in according with what is written in the Law of Moses, presented burnt offerings, the New Moon sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred festivals of the LORD. When they builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests, and the Levites praised the LORD, with praise and thanksgiving, they sang to the LORD.
God fulfilled His promise and brought His people home from captivity. And when they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, they gave freewill offerings toward the rebuilding of the house of God. They restored their worship, gave burnt offerings and kept God's instructions as written in the Law of Moses. They worked diligently, praised and gave thanks to God who brought them home to rebuild God's temple to glorify Him. Just as God rescued them from their captivity in Babylon, God rescued us from our captivity to sin. This week, as we think about the Israelites that returned home and recommited their lives to God with worship and thanksgiving, let us also thank God for all He has done and honor Him with worship and thankful heart daily.
