[Sunday] Await the Christmas Ham
Questions for the week
Describe a time when you messed up preparing a holiday dinner.
Read Isaiah 19:16-25. What do you find surprising about Egypt and Assyria? Why would they be able to worship just like Israel?
Think of a group of people that you dislike; how would it make you feel if they were part of God’s promise?
Through Christ, how does God make all the nations part of his promise? In regards to Christ, how are you no different than all the other nations?
What Had happened at Grace this week.
Please join us for an informational meeting between our two Sunday services to discuss Grace bringing in Claubert as a Vicar.
Our class closed Amos with chapter 9’s sweeping judgment and surprising hope, then turned to Obadiah’s focus on Edom and all nations, tracing themes of justice, restoration, and God’s kingship with messianic echoes.
The Triumphal Entry shows us the difference. We chase the 'wins' of this world; Jesus rides into the darkness of this world. We look for success; He brings the Light that saves.
This week, our study of Amos 6-8 revealed God's unwavering standard of justice, showing how complacency, social injustice, and the rejection of His word lead to inescapable judgment, symbolized by a plumb line and a basket of summer fruit.
When we are drowning in anxiety and noise, Jesus steps in to flip the tables, pushing back the chaotic waters like on day 2 of creation, so we can finally catch our breath.
