On August 2nd, Kidzu will "move up" all children going to the next grade level. If a child is entering Pre-K through 5th grade, he or she will move to the next grade level in Kidzu. Students entering 6th grade will now be a part of The Vine Youth!
Next Sunday we are kicking off a brand new series called, "But God." This series will focus on places in the Bible where it looked like all hope was lost But God stepped in and changed the story. This is a great opportunity to invite someone to join you in worship!

Scripture (ESV):
Luke 9:23-24
1 Timothy 4:7-8
Teaching Notes:
- The life we want doesn't happen by accident.
- Small habits create big outcomes.
- Are our habits helping us become who we want to be?
- Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.
- It's not about how hard we try but how hard we train.
Reflection Questions:
1. What area of your life is being shaped most by your current habits? Are those habits moving you closer to the person God is calling you to become or farther away?
2. Where do you most often choose what you want now instead of what you want most? What would choosing God's best look like in that situation?
3. What is one spiritual habit you have been trying to start but haven't consistently trained yourself to practice? What's been holding you back?
4. What is one small, practical step you believe God is inviting you to take this week? How can you build that step into your daily routine so it becomes a habit instead of just a good intention?
5. Who can help you stay faithful as you build new spiritual habits? How could a friend, spouse, or family member encourage and hold you accountable in your next step with Christ?
