[Sunday] Honored Blessing - Generosity

ServiceSundaySermonsNews
Written By Cris Escher

This is from the confession

Honor your father and mother, and your days will be blessed. Jacob contemplates his long history filled with selfishness, dishonor, and greed and chooses to see the abundance of God by honoring Pharaoh with a blessing.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   Generosity - Honored Blessing

  1. How is honoring different from loving?

  2. Read Genesis 47:1-12.  How does Jacob describe his life?  

  3. At the end of his life, how and why does he honor Pharoah?  What is surprising about that?

  4. In what ways are parents God’s earthly representatives? Living in the abundance of God, how can we be free to honor our parents and leaders around us?

[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer
[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer

Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith.  Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility.  For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.

[Sunday] Psalm 2 - Richer
[Sunday] Psalm 2 - Richer

Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role.  Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history.  This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind.  Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.

It was a wonderful week for the kids! They engaged their senses with a blindfolded smell-guessing activity and expanded their palates by sampling mangoes for their tropical fruit feature. They also learned about the story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus.
