Faith at home

Little moments.
Growing faith.

A conversation, an act of kindness, a prayer.
Start with one moment together.

This week · Live Holy

I will help
others.

Jesus shows us that greatness begins with serving.

Matthew 20:26–28
Remember together
Because of Jesus,
we can live a new life.

Series memory verse · 2 Corinthians 5:17

Practice the verse

Read 2 Corinthians 5:17 together in your Bible. Stretch out your arms for “new creation,” point behind you for “old,” and reach forward for “new.”

Make it a family moment

About 5 minutes

Talk about it

At dinner or on the drive home

  1. How did Jesus show us what it means to serve?
  2. When has someone helped you? How did it feel?
  3. Who could you help this week?

Try it together

The secret service challenge

Choose one kind thing to do for someone without being asked. Set the table, write an encouraging note, or help a sibling clean up.

Then ask: How did helping someone change your day?

Pray together

Invite everyone to add a name

Jesus, thank You for showing us how to serve. Help us notice people who need a hand. Give us kind hearts and willing hands. Show our family someone we can help this week. Amen.

Parent help

How do I start a faith conversation?

Begin with something your child experienced today. Ask, “Where did you notice kindness?” or “Was anything hard today?” Listen first. Then connect one thought to Jesus. A short, honest conversation is enough.

What if my child doesn’t want to pray?

Keep the invitation gentle. You can pray while your child listens. Offer one simple prompt: “What’s one thing you’re thankful for?” Let prayer become a familiar conversation with God rather than a performance.

How can we read the Bible together?

Choose a short story. Read a few verses, then ask: “What happened? What does this show us about God? What can we try today?” For younger children, use an age-appropriate story Bible and retell the story together.

My child is asking about baptism

Ask what they understand about following Jesus. Explain that baptism is a public way to show faith in Him. Read Acts 2:38–41 together, and talk with the Gateway Kids team about the next step.
