Page 6 of 7 PREPOSITION NIGHT Prepositions begin many mighty scriptures. Why not have a BUT night! Or an IF night. Or a THEREFORE night! Get our your concordance and choose some powerful scriptures starting with the preposition of your choice. Encourage the children to repeat them after you, putting the emphasis on the preposition. It will help them to remember the scriptures. Here’s some to get you started: BUT: Psalm 1:1-3; Isaiah 40:31; 53:5; Acts 17:30,31; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2:4- 6; 2 Timothy1:7; James 1:5,6.
IF: There are 2,500 "Ifs" in the Bible. Deuteronomy 4:29; 2 Chronicles 7:14; John 14:15; 1 Corinthians 9:16; Galatians 5:25; Hebrews 2:3; Hebrews 4:7; 1 John 1:7, 1:9; 1 John 4:11; Revelation 3:20.
THEREFORE: Romans 5:1; 6:12; 8:1; 12:20; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:6; 2 Timothy 2:3; 2:10; Hebrews 2:1; 4:16; 10:19; 10:25; James 4:17; 5:7; 1 Peter 4:7. STONES You could gather 12 large stones and pile them in the middle of the table – this will be your centerpiece for this meal. For Bible reading you will read Joshua chapter 4, which tells the story of the children of Israel crossing the Jordan and how God wanted them to place the 12 stones in the Jordan as a memorial of what He had done for them. Another story you could use is found in Joshua 24:15-28. Another evening you could place a stone by each person’s plate. Choose 1 Peter 2:1-10 for your Bible reading and explain how each one of them is a living stone to be built into God’s building.
