Junior High
This
week students will continue "The Rabbi, How Jesus Turned the World Upside
Down."
"The Rabbi, How Jesus Turned the World Upside Down."
Imagine sitting on a hillside in ancient Palestine as Jesus taught you
and thousands of other people. But instead of hearing the predictabe
words that other religious leaders spoke, you were startled, shocked,
amazed to hear this rabbi declaring bold truths with authority.
Our
students will encounter these same bold truths from this same
authority, to discover how Jesus challenged his followers with new
insights on who God is, what God's kingdom is all about, and how we can
interact with God.
March 23: A New Teaching
Next Sunday we begin a new study, "The Messiah."
We welcome Kevin Fitz to the Family Ministry Team for this session!
This 6-week session will engage
students through creative presentations and hands-on opportunities to
examine big truths revealed in the Gospel of John.
Teenagers will get a firsthand
view of what it was like to walk with Jesus, and they'll dive into the
words written by this disciple who heard what The Messiah said and
witnessed what He did.

Preschool and Kindergarten
Jesus Enters Jerusalem
Bible Story to read together:Matthew 21:1-11, 15-16; Mark 11:1-10
Tension is high at this point in Jesus' life! The people of Israel want to make Him their king, while the religious leaders of the Sanhedrin are ready to kill Him at their first opportunity!
The people praise a Messiah whom they hope will defeat the Roman Empire and free them from political oppression. They do not understand that Jesus came to create a much deeper kind of freedom. His kingdom and His sacrifice are the basis of much more than a few years' rest from political oppression. He offers real and permanent freedom to EVERYONE--even hated Romans!
After reading the Bible story together as a family say, "the people in this story were happy to see Jesus when He came to Jerusalem. At church, we remember this day on Palm Sunday when we wave palm branches and remember Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem. We also sing to welcome Jesus.
Our Bible says, "How good it is to sing praises to our God." We can sing praises to God to give thanks to Him. We can thank God for Jesus!
Pray briefly, Thank You, God, for Jesus! Amen.
