Here's what The Treehouse is learning in July...
This Month’s Biblical Theme Is: God is good.
Our stories this month magnify God’s goodness by revealing His character through different life experiences. The Psalms remind us that God lovingly guides us, speaks to us through His Word, and invites us to live in a way that honors Him. Even in times of sorrow or struggle, we are encouraged to bring our emotions to God and remember His faithfulness. The Psalms also highlight God’s care and protection, showing that He is always with us, providing what we need. As we look back on His actions throughout history, we are inspired to give thanks for His constant love and never-ending goodness.
Monthly Memory Verse: The Lord is good to all, and His mercy is over all that He has made. (Psalm 145:9) ESV
