“Journey off the Map–Unknown to Us, Known to Him”<br />

will be our theme this summer. We will set out on a<br />

journey to uncharted territory where kids will encounter<br />

the unexpected waiting around every bend. On this<br />

expedition of a lifetime, kids will need to stick close to<br />

their guides in order to survive. They will discover that<br />

Jesus is the Ultimate Guide on a journey uncharted by<br />

them, but known by Him.<br />

Day 1 • Know Your Guide: Jesus birth was announced<br />

and angels declared that He is the Messiah. Jesus spent<br />

time teaching and healing people. He died for our sins,<br />

was buried, and on the third day He arose. Jesus is our<br />

Ultimate Guide.<br />

Day 2 • Follow Your Guide: Daniel and his friends were<br />

among the Jewish captives chosen to serve in King<br />

Nebuchadnezzar’s palace. The food provided for the<br />

friends broke the laws God had given the Jewish<br />

people. Instead of breaking<br />

God’s laws, Daniel chose to follow his Guide<br />

and requested permission to be given vegetables and<br />

water instead.<br />

Day 3 • Trust Your Guide: Shadrach, Meshach, and<br />

Abednego refused to bow and worship the statue that<br />

Nebuchadnezzar had built. As a result the three friends<br />

were thrown into a fiery furnace. They trusted God<br />

whether He chose to save them or allow them to perish.<br />

God protected the three friends in the fire and they<br />

emerged unharmed.<br />

Day 4 • Stay on Track: Daniel consistently did what was<br />

right and kept his focus on God. Even when the king<br />

signed an edict that made it illegal to pray to anyone by<br />

the king, Daniel continued to pray openly to God. Daniel<br />

was thrown into the lions’ den for refusing to pray to the<br />

king. God closed the lions’ mouths and rescued Daniel<br />

from the lions.<br />

Day 5 • Keep Watching: Daniel received a vision of<br />

things to come. Jesus told His disciples about things to<br />

come. God tells believers to keep watching for Jesus’<br />

return and to obey His Word.<br />

Children who were 3 years old by 9/1/14 through<br />

completion of 5th grade will be welcomed to be a part<br />

of this exciting week at <strong>Brandon</strong> Baptist Church.<br />
