Sabbath, Study, Serve 

Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Matthew 2: 1-22

From the Sermon:

In this particular story, the people come to meet Jesus _________________________.

Here is a man who is desperately in need of healing from Jesus and the good folks listening to Jesus are ______________.

These friends will do _____________________ to get their friend in the presence of Jesus. 

How far are we willing to go to be bearers of _______?

Reflection Questions:

Have we ever got in the way of someone coming to love the Lord?

Do we want to be the people in the house blocking the way or the friends who will do anything to bring someone to Jesus?

How are we as a people of faith bearing the hope of Jesus in the world?

Prayer:

Lord, this week we remember. We remember the promises made long ago at our baptism. We remember the covenant that was made. We remember that the promises there don’t get taken away, when we fail to remember. So speak to us again, Precious Lord. Lead us to a place of renewal. Let us rededicate our lives to you and you alone. Amen.
