[Sunday] Await Holy Night
Questions for the week
Describe a time when an unlikely or unwelcomed person came to an event. How did the other people at the event react?
Read Matthew 2:1-12. What would Matthew’s Jewish audience have thought about the wise men or magi worshiping Jesus? If you were to guess, which god would you think they had worshiped before this?
God leads the magi, these unlikely people, to worship Jesus. What hope does this give you?
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 Bible study explored Jonah as holy satire and a mirror of mercy—challenging our comfort with God loving enemies, tracing creation motifs, and connecting to Jesus’ “sign of Jonah.”
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.
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.
We often settle for the mere "leaves of religion" by simply going through the motions, yet the third day of Creation reveals our design to sprout and bear fruit.
