The Fourth of July means fireworks, lemonade, and the colors red, white, and blue! In honor of the holiday, LinC looks at a piece of the Fourth of July tradition—the colors of our flag—through a scriptural filter. Find out what the colors red, white, and blue mean in our faith! Key Scriptures: Job 2:3; Isaiah 1:15-18; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Mark 9:2-6. Pain and grief touch all of us at some time in our lives, but not all of us handle it well. Next week’s LinC takes a more serious turn to tackle the truth about grief, its role in our lives, and how to deal with grief in healthy ways. Encourage your students to see God for themselves in the way Israel saw God—as Rapha, their Healer.
