Three In One
In this series, we are looking at attributes of God that make God, God! It is important to know the character of the God that we believe in just as how it’s important to know the character of the people around us. As we know God more, it makes it easier for us to love Him and trust in Him and His Power.

God, Jesus, Holy Spirit? There is only one God, and yet he exists in three. Adults and kids alike are boggled by this truth of who God is. Through this series, we continue to discover more about the attributes of our Almighty God by diving into the truth of how God exists as One in Three in this series. There is truly no one else like our God!
Note to Parents: This is a series about the truths of God’s character. HopeKids seek to equip and teach children the truths of who God is so that as they grow older, their understanding of who God is grows with them. You can also opt to read this chapter from the book: Talking with Your Kids about God by Natasha Crain in order to equip yourself with the truths of the Trinity.

Chapter 17: How Can God Be Three Persons in One?
Talk to your child about what they just learnt by asking them these questions:
- Today is the last week of the Three in One Series. What is this serious about and what have you been learning?
Ans: It’s about God, and how He is a God who is Three in One. - Do we believe in only one God?
[Ans: Yes. Parents, please help to reiterate that we believe in only one God. ] - But how does our one Big God show himself to us? What is something special about our God?
[Ans: Our God is Three in One, showing Himself to us through 3 different persons of God! ] - Who are the three persons of God?
[Ans: God the Father, God the Son who is Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit.] - Which of the three persons of God did you learn more about today?
[Ans: God the Holy Spirit!] - The Holy Spirit is not someone we can see, is he just an energy or force? Or is he a living person and fully God?
[Ans: The Holy Spirit is fully 100% God, he is living and relates to us as a person, even though he cannot be seen!] - Since the Holy Spirit is God, is he always with us? Is He omnipresent (jr: all-present)?
[Ans: Yes, the Holy Spirit is always with us and because he is God, he is also omnipresent/all-present!] - How does the Holy Spirit help us?
[Ans: The Holy Spirit is always with us and thus, he is able to tell us and remind us of Jesus’ way of life and doing things that will make God happy. But we also need to learn to listen to Him speaking in our hearts, and that takes time!]
Share with your child: The Holy Spirit is God’s presence being with us always and everywhere and everyday! We also need to remember that the Holy Spirit is God and he deserves the same respect that we give God and Jesus. 🙂
You may want to discuss the reflection questions that were given to the primary kids. [Activity 7] Hear from the kids what they find difficult to understand. This can be a great opportunity to grow in understanding God along with your kids!
- How do we know that the Holy Spirit is fully a person and not just a force of energy? What qualities does He have that only real persons have?
- How do we know the Holy Spirit is God, is always with us and that He is able to help us?

Talk to your child about what they just learnt by asking them these questions (some questions are repeated to help kids remember the truth about God’s existence as Three):
- What have you been learning about God in this HopeKids series?
[Ans: God is one, but He exists in Three Persons.] - Who are the three persons of God?
[Ans: God the Father, God the Son who is Jesus and God the Holy Spirit.] - Which of the three persons of God did you learn more about today?
[Ans: God the Son, who is actually Jesus! Jesus the son is God!] - Jesus was born as a human and lived on earth as a human man. How do you know that He is also God?
[Ans: Jesus definitely was born as a human and lived as a human man. But through his life on earth, He did many things that only God can do? - What are some things that Jesus did in His life that only God can do? Which story did you learn from?
[Ans: Jesus was able to forgive sins as well as achieve miracles such as healing people. Learning from the story of Jesus healing the man who could not walk, we saw that Jesus forgave the man’s sin and healed him, causing the man to be able to walk!] - How did the people respond to what Jesus did?
[Ans: Everyone who saw what happened was amazed as no one had seen anyone else have that kind of authority to heal others. And no one had ever forgiven the sins of others.] - What did Jesus’ actions tell us about Jesus’ nature?
[Ans: Jesus was not any normal human man, but he is God in nature, but shows himself in human form. All of us have a human form but we are human in nature. Jesus have a human form, but he is God in nature! Thus, Jesus the Son, is God!
Share with your child: Jesus the son, is God coming down to earth. Jesus loved us so much that he was willing to go through the pain and death on the cross to save us all. We might not understand everything about how Jesus is God and human at the same time, but we can know that He loves us and saved us.

[Ans: God the Father, God the Son who is Jesus and God the Holy Spirit.] - Which of the three persons of God did you learn more about today?
[Ans: God the Father! Our Heavenly Father is God.] - What did you learn about God, our Heavenly Father? Did you also learn from the story of the Lost Son?
[Ans: God the Father is our creator and He loves us so much that he planned all things to allow a way for us to be with him even though we did wrong/have sin in our lives. God the Father is like the Father in the story of the lost son. Despite all the wrong that the son did, when the son came back and was sorry, the Father welcomed him with love and open arms. The Father welcomed him as a son, nothing can change the way the father loves him as a son! In the same way, nothing can change the way God loves us as a Father and we are all His children.] - What is it that God did to bring us back to Him?
[Ans: God the Father sent Jesus to be born on earth to die on the cross and take away the sin in our lives. It is also God the Father’s power that brought Jesus back to life after three days. When we believe in what Jesus did, we can be with God again! Praise God the Father!]

Talk to your child about what they just learnt by asking them these questions:
- Are you learning from a new series today? What is it about?
[Ans: It’s about God, and how He is a God who is Three in One. ] - Do we believe in only one God?
[Ans: Yes. Parents, please help to reiterate that we believe in only one God.] - But what else do we know about our one God?
[Ans: Even though there is only one God, He exists in three persons.] - Who are the three persons of God?
[Ans: God the Father, God the Son who is Jesus and God the Holy Spirit.] - Parents can reiterate:
You don’t have to understand everything about the three persons of God. We just need to know that the three persons of God all work together in perfect harmony in order to do God’s work on earth, including the work to save us all from sin.
• God the Father plans all things and make it all happen.
• God the Son, Jesus is the one who came down to earth to die on the cross to save us.

Hey Parents! Read here first!
Through this period of uncertainty, we are praying for you and your family, and we are here to support you in leading your child to learn more about God and cultivate godly character! Each week, you can access the HopeKids Online experience which includes a fun and interactive video, printable colouring and activity pages and a conversation guide to help the children process what they are learning.
Here’s how a Stay Home Sunday could look like:
Look through the HopeKids Service Experience!
Prepare and print out the Kids Activities in the pack.
Prepare writing materials such as pencils, pens and colour pencils.
Invite your child to join in the time of praise and worship together!
After the time of worship, your child can start on the kids activities as you listen to the sermon.
HopeKids Online Service will be streamed on Church Online after the adult service ends.
After service, ask your child what he / she has learnt about God today or even share what you have personally learnt. Take some time to pray together.
We really want to encourage families to leverage this time to be together and focus on things of eternal significance. Daddy and Mummy are the best role models! When kids see how you seek, worship and learn about God on a daily basis, it inspires them to want to believe in God and do their best for God too!
We look forward to hearing stories of this precious time and memories made together with God and each other as the whole family draws closer to God together.
