Scripture :: Please Read Aloud :: Romans 8:12-17; John 3:5-7
When Jesus came to Earth, the rules changed. Jesus came to help us form a great relationship with God and be a part of God's family. We have been invited to a new family, with laws that help us love, forgive, be patient, put others first, and have joy in times of trouble! And the Holy Spirit helps us follow those rules so we can love our family better!
Click on the “spiritual” family tree below and fill it in together or individually. Talk about who brought you to Christ. Who is helping form your faith today? What gifts and talents do you see in your family members? Where is the fruit of your faith?

Confession
Father, we know you are working even when we can’t see you! Forgive us in the ways we are blind to you. We confess when we can’t see you we grasp for control and even manipulate or judge our circumstances. We can do nothing apart from you Father, our most merciful God.
