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-The Kingdom of Heaven
Last week, kids learned that when we follow Jesus, Heaven is our spirits' home.
Bible Verse: For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Hebrews 13:14
Matthew 13:44-46 describes the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, fine pearls, one of great value. Philippians 3:20 writes that our citizenship is in heaven. This means that even though many of us are citizens here, our lives on this earth are only a temporary home, our ultimate citizenship belongs to heaven. So since our ultimate home is in heaven and we are citizens of heaven, how should we live our lives? The Bible teaches us that the kingdom of heaven is like treasures, fine pearls that when a man finds it, he would sell everything he has and buy it. How should this affect the way we lives our lives here on earth and spend our time, money, energy?
Hebrews 11 provides examples of many biblical figures that lived lives as heavenly citizens, looking forward to the city that is to come. They believed the promise of God, understood the greater value of the kingdom of heaven, and lived by faith. They were looking ahead to their eternal rewards in heaven. They trusted in the LORD and obeyed Him, rather than leaning on their own understanding. When God commanded Noah to build an ark and and take all the wild animals and the livestock with him in the ark, even though he did not yet see the floodwaters that would cover the earth, he obeyed the LORD. Abraham, when he was called to go to a place he would later receive as inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. He lived like a stranger in a foreign country, lived in tents for he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Hebrews 13:16 tells us that these people lived by faith becuase they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one, for God has prepared a city for them. Later in Hebrews 11, there are also many who were mistreated, persecuted, , tortured, faced jeers, flogged, put in chains, imprisoned, put to death by stoning, sawed in two, killed by the sword, yet all of them lived by faith and endured because they believed in resurrection and longed for their heavenly home.
As we look forward to the city that God has prepared for us, let us start building treasures in heaven. Instead of choosing the fleeting pleasures of sin, let us fix our eyes on Jesus and obey His commands holding on to His promise of eternal life.
