The Reformed Classroom Catechism Podcast Series: Why are you to glorify God?

Welcome back to the Reformed Classroom Podcast! In this episode, we’re continuing our journey through the Children’s Catechism and building on what we’ve already learned about God, His glory, and our purpose.

We’ve learned that God made us and all things for His own glory and that we can glorify God by loving Him and doing what He commands. But today, we’re asking an important follow-up question:

Why are we to glorify God?

The answer reminds us of two wonderful truths: God made us, and God takes care of us.

In this episode, we’ll talk about how God intentionally created each one of us, how He knows us and cares for us, and how recognizing His care should lead us to respond with gratitude, worship, love, and obedience.

Scripture for This Episode

Psalm 139:13–16 God formed us in our mother’s womb and knows us completely.

Psalm 23:1–4 David describes the Lord as his Shepherd who leads, provides for, protects, and remains with His people—even in difficult circumstances.

Family Discussion Questions

1. Why are you to glorify God?
2. What are some ways God takes care of you?
3. What does Psalm 139 teach us about the way God made us?
4. What does a shepherd do for his sheep?
5. Why is it comforting to know that God is with us when we have hard days?
6. What is one thing God has given you that you can thank Him for today?
7. How can you glorify God this week by loving Him and obeying His commands?

This Week's Challenge

This week, practice noticing the ways God cares for you.

When you recognize something God has provided—a meal, a family member, a friend, a beautiful part of creation, your church family, His Word, or something else—stop and say:

“Thank You, God.”

Then remember our catechism question:

Why are you to glorify God?

Because He made me and takes care of me.

Kids' Bible Question

Do you have a question about God, the Bible, Jesus, or the Christian faith?

We’d love to hear it!

Parents, send your child’s question to thereformedclassroom@gmail.com. Their question might be answered on a future episode of the Reformed Classroom Podcast!

Remember, there are no silly questions when we’re learning more about God and His Word!
