Family Time with God 20 Questions Series—Part 3 RULES Explain to your family that they are trying to guess a secret object. You will give them a hint such as “This is a person, place, or thing.” Let each person one at a time choose a number between 1 and 20 and whatever number is chosen, read that number clue. After hearing the clue, the person will try to guess the answer. See who will be the first person to discover the hidden object.

ASK: When does the moon shine its light? SAY: Never. That was a trick question. The moon doesn’t have any light of its own. It’s reflects light from the sun. Without the sun, the moon is just a big gray rock but it acts like a mirror and reflects light coming from the sun. (If you want, get a flashlight and shine it in a mirror to show this.) SAY: Jesus is the light of the world and, like the moon, we get to reflect the light of His life through our words and actions to other people. Re-Read Matthew 5:14-16 SAY: God wants us to shine His light and never to hide it. ASK: What are ways that we can let Jesus’ light shine through our lives? Through our family? Take prayer request and PRAY that your family will shine the light of Jesus life and love.
(EXTRA: Make the word “Moon” your Word of the Day and see how many times your family can use it in conversations in the next 24 hours.)
