Opening Prayer

Bible Reading: Matthew 21

Introduction:

• The first, as you heard was what we now call Palm Sunday
• Here’s the Skitguys to tell you about it!

Video: Skitguys – Psalm Sunday

Question: Any thoughts on the video?

Box exercise:

• To cover the 5 other teachings of Jesus
• Please take a wrapper from the box
• And whichever teaching you have – you can provide your thoughts for the rest of us
• My question for each teaching is what does it mean for you today

Introduction:

• Genesis 22 is about how Abraham’s faith is tested
• And this is the forerunner of Jesus
• Abraham didn’t sacrifice Isaac, God provided a lamb
• Jesus, the Son of God was sacrificed, he is the lamb of God
• As I read this reflect on what Jesus has done for us
• And how to want to respond in faith

Bible Reading: Genesis 22

Question: How has God spoken to you throw this well-known passage today?

Conclusion:

• Jesus was obedient to His Father, even to death on a cross
• We need to be like Jesus, we need to be obedient
• We need to follow Jesus, his teachings, his ways
• We need to be who we are called to be

Prayer:  

• Following on from Ray Hughes conference
• Healthy things grow… see card
• Prayer to release our creativity and gifting in obedience to God
• in the power of the Holy Spirit
• in Jesus name
