ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL SERIES
God made rhinos & hippos
Today we’re going to learn about two animals that are almost the opposite of a little white furry sheep. These two animals are HUGE and they seem to almost be the same, except one has horns and one doesn’t. Do you know the difference? (Show pictures on your phone). Did you know that a funny thing about the rhinoceros is they have never been seen in water!? They can’t swim, but neither can the hippopotamus! However, we do see hippos soaking in the water in photos! Both eat mostly just grass, but that’s the food that’s available to them where they live, so it all makes sense! Isn’t it cool that God just knows!

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

I am secure.
God makes us new creations when we trust in Jesus, but unfortunately, you don’t stop sinning after you become a Christian. If we adopt the cultural worldview that our efforts and mistakes define us, we can believe the lie that our mistakes keep us from serving God in the future. However, Peter’s story reminds us that this isn’t true.
Peter made several mistakes, such as denying Jesus during His trial. Jesus knew what Peter would do before it even happened, but through this encounter Jesus was doing something new in Peter. Jesus wanted Peter to understand that his sin of denial was forgiven. Even though Peter made mistakes, Jesus still invited him to participate in His ministry. After Peter was restored, God continued working in his life to bring many people to salvation.
