- Even though we look for security among the stone, Jesus shows us the heart of the redeemer. Matthew Chapter 16-17

Sunday Bulletin March 2nd

Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Stone

  1. What is the most amazing statue you’ve seen?  What makes it so amazing?

  2. Read Matthew 16:13-28. Peter got it right about who Jesus is, but wrong about how Jesus would reign. When have we, like Peter, misunderstood how God works, thinking he should act with worldly power instead of through suffering? 

  3. Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan!" to Peter when he resisted the idea of suffering. When have we been tempted to avoid suffering, or to think suffering means God has abandoned us? How can we remember that God works through suffering?

  4. What practical steps can we take to shift our focus from worldly power to the "Kingdom Way" of love, sacrifice, and service?

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.
