For the next few weeks Mark will be teaching the kids the song, “Jesus Lead On.”  I would love to hear from you throughout the next couple weeks with more scripture references about leading and following Christ, questions your kids asked while you were worshiping together or something you have learned about following Christ’s lead.

I’ll start us off …….

Exodus 15:13 (NiRV) “Because your love is faithful, you will lead the people you have set free.  Because you are so strong, you will guide them to the holy place where you live.”

Nehemiah 9:19-20a (NiRV) “Because you loved them so much, you didn’t leave them in the desert.  During the day the pillar of cloud didn’t stop guiding them on their path.  At night the pillar of fire didn’t stop shining on the way you wanted them to go.  You gave them your good Spirit to teach them.”

Psalm 25:9 (NiRV) “He shows those who aren’t proud how to do what is right.  He teaches them his ways.”

Psalm 31:2 (NiRV) “You are my rock and my fort.  Lead me and guide me for the honor of your name.”

Proverbs 4:11 (NiRV) “I guide you in the way of wisdom.  I lead you along straight paths.”

DIGGIN DEEPER …………………………..

Why would you follow a leader?  (any leader)

Why would you follow Jesus?

Is there anything that makes it difficult for you (me/us) to follow Jesus?

Lyrics to the song ………………………………..

Jesus Lead On

This is my cry
This is my song
You are my guiding light
When the way is unknown
And when these sunny skies
Turn shades of gray
I’ll stay close by Your side
As You lead the way

Jesus lead on I will follow
Jesus lead on
Let Your love light the way
Jesus lead on I will follow
Jesus lead on

Hear now this cry
Hear now this song
You are the guiding light
For this journey I’m on
And when my vision is clouded
By the wind and the rain
I’ll stay close by Your side
As You lead the way
