Kids Corner Devotions: Talking About Sin: Big & Bigger News for You - Check out this week’s kids’ devotion, “Talking About Sin: Big & Bigger News for You” at www.kidscorner.net. In this week's devotion’s Bible reading, Romans 5:18-21, we learn that sin—the things we think, say, or do that don’t please God—is big and powerful. Sin separates us from God. But the good news is that bigger news about Jesus is coming.

Thrive Faith Formation Tip - The God of the Bible is radically curious. God was curious about taking formless things and creating something beautiful. God was curious on the first day as God spoke light into existence and gave darkness a place in creation. God was curious enough that creating sky, land, and oceans was life-giving and affirming in the world. God was curious enough to believe diversity in plants and animals was cool, creating them in a variety of dimensions, shapes, and colors. God’s curiosity led to the creation of two beacons in the sky to serve the earth. In the mind of God, curiosity was God’s radical bent of being in relationship, always moving toward life. This week reflect on what makes you curious about God, God’s world, and your world. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
