Experience God For A Lifetime

Our heartbeat at CB KiDS is simple: we want every KiD to experience God for a lifetime. These resources are here to help you bring faith into the everyday moments at home—because parenting is better when we do it together.

At CB KiDS, our heart is for every child to experience God for a lifetime. We know that faith begins in the home, around the dinner table, at bedtime, or even in the carpool line, and you don’t have to do it alone. That’s why we’ve created this space just for you. Here you’ll find weekly family devotionals aligning with our Sunday lessons, a Spotify playlist to fill your home with truth, and other resources to encourage you along the way.

Parenting is better when we do it together, and at CB KiDS we’re with you—cheering you on as you raise KiDS who love and follow Jesus.


Faith at home starts now!

The Month of May

Big Truth:

God calls His people to preach the gospel to everyone everywhere.


Bible Passage – Acts 8:26-40 (Philip and the Ethiopian)

But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:

“He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He does not open His mouth.
In humiliation His judgment was taken away;
Who will relate His generation?
For His life is removed from the earth.”

The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” [And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”] And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

Week of May 17th: The Gospel is for Everyone

Discussion Questions:

  • Toddlers/Preschool: Who does Jesus want us to tell about Him?
  • Early Elementary: How did Phillip know to talk to the Ethiopian man in the story?
  • Preteens: What does this story teach us about who the gospel is for?
  • Bonus Questions:Why might it have been surprising that Philip shared with the Ethiopian man? Are there people we sometimes overlook or avoid sharing with? How can we change that?

Prayer:

"Heavenly Father, thank You that the good news of Jesus is for everyone. Help us to see people the way You do—with love and compassion. Give us eyes to notice those around us and courage to share the gospel with anyone, anywhere. Use our family to help others know You. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen."

Family Challenge of the Week:

As a family, think about different kinds of people you see during the week (neighbors, classmates, store workers, teammates, etc.). Make a list of 2–3 people you don’t usually talk to or might overlook. Pray for them by name each day. Sometime this week, take one step toward them this week (say hello, show kindness, start a conversation, or invite them to church.)

At the end of the week, talk about how it felt to reach out and what God showed you about loving everyone.

Week of May 3rd: Jesus Sends His Disciples
Big Idea: The Great Commission for all believers

Matthew 28:18-20

Discussion Questions:
  • Toddlers/Preschool: What does Jesus want us to tell everyone? 
  • Early Elementary: Why is it important to tell others about Jesus?
  • Preteens: How does knowing Jesus is “always with you” (v.20) give you courage to share about his love with those around you? 
  • Bonus Questions: What does it mean to be a disciple? Why does Jesus want disciples of all nations? Are you a disciple of Jesus? When we believe in Jesus, what do we do to become a disciple?

Prayer:
"Jesus, thank You for loving us and inviting us to be part of Your mission. Help our family to be bold and faithful in sharing the good news with others. Give us courage when we feel nervous and remind us that You are always with us. Show us who we can love, serve, and tell about You this week. In Your Name we pray, Amen."

Family Challenge of the Week:
As a family, choose one person in your life that you want to share Jesus’ love with this week. Practice talking about what you would say to share the gospel with them.

Example: “Did you know that Jesus loves you? He loves everyone! He loves us so much that He wants us to be with Him forever, so He died on the cross to forgive us of our sins. He wants us to follow Him and share His love with others!”

At the end of the week, talk together about what happened and how you saw God at work. Make a plan to follow up with that person and continue to encourage them to believe and be a disciple of Jesus.
Week of May 10th: The Spirit Comes
Big Idea: The Spirit is our helper to do the Great Commission

Acts 2 (Pentecost)

Discussion Questions:
  • Toddlers/Preschool: Who helps you be brave to talk about Jesus?
  • Early Elementary: How did the Spirit help the disciples tell others about Jesus?
  • Preteens: How can you rely on the Spirit instead of your own strength when sharing your faith?
  • Bonus Questions: When does the Holy Spirit come to live in our hearts? (When we believe) Can the Holy Spirit ever leave us? How does that remind us of what Jesus said last week when He gave the Great Commission? (Matthew 28:20) How can the Holy Spirit help us today?

Prayer:
"Holy Spirit, thank You for coming to be our helper. Thank You for giving us courage, wisdom, and the words to share about Jesus. Help our family to listen to You, trust You, and follow where You lead. Give us boldness to live out our faith and to tell others the good news. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen."

Family Challenge of the Week:
Each morning, take some intentional time to say a quick prayer together: “Holy Spirit, show us how to love the people around us and share with them about Jesus today.” In the evenings, check in. Did you feel the Holy Spirit showing you how to follow Jesus today? Did you follow? How did it make you feel? How can you do the same or different tomorrow? Say a prayer thanking Jesus for giving us the gift of everlasting life and the Holy Spirit to guide us when we believe.
