For the Kids // The Treasure
In Matthew 13, Jesus tells 7 parables. In each parable, Jesus is calling us to respond to the Kingdom of Heaven. From sowing seeds of the Gospel to preparing for the final Judgment, Jesus is very clear that we should be investing our lives in the Kingdom of God. First of all, have you made a personal commitment to Jesus? Has there ever been a time you have asked Jesus to forgive your sins and be the Lord and Savior of your life? If not, then how about today? And if so, then are you sowing seeds of the Gospel? Are you investing your life in what really matters? Don’t become so familiar with Jesus that you miss who He is and what He is calling you to do.

For the Kids // Parable of the Weeds
Evil is real, but God still owns the field. In Matthew 13, Jesus shows us that the harvest is coming and that God has made a way for anyone to become wheat. Our call is to labor in our portion of the field, so the next generation grows strong among the weeds.

For the Kids // Parable of the Sower
Which soil is your heart? Jesus said there are four types of soil, so every one of us today will fall into one of these four categories: hard path, rocky, thorny or fruitful. Have you ever personally accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, then receive the Word of God today and experience the joy of growing in Jesus. If you are a Christian, then grow deep roots and don’t get distracted by the things of this world. This is your time to bear fruit. This is our time together to impact those around us and the next generation for the glory of our God. As a church family, let’s commit to praying for 40 days about how God can use each of us to bear more fruit for Jesus.

Faith Over Fear
Missions Sunday // Jesus & the Devil
Jesus brings a new kingdom, a new sign, and a new family. Through Jesus, the kingdom of God comes to earth as the Spirit of God is at work. Jesus is also the ultimate sign of God’s love, giving His life for us so we can have salvation. And through faith in Jesus, we become part of a new family, defined not by blood but by following Jesus and living according to God’s will.

Faith Over Fear
Faith Over Fear // Lord of All
Jesus came to heal and redeem people. Religion is about man trying to get to God. But Christianity is about God coming to man. Religion is about rules, but Jesus is about people. Jesus loves people, and He loves you. When we place our faith fully in Jesus, it changes everything in our lives. He overcomes our fears to bring healing and hope to our hearts. Jesus makes us whole. May we live our entire lives with our faith fully in Jesus and one day hear Him say to us, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Let’s choose faith over fear today.

Faith Over Fear
Faith Over Fear // Be Aware!
Jesus came to show us the Father and to allow us, as sinners, to gain access to God. God loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to us. Most Christians understand the Gospel intellectually. We know we are not perfect, and we are in need of a Savior. But few Christians actually live in the overwhelming grace and love of God every day. When we do, all fear is gone. We have complete faith and trust in the One who loves us even more than we love ourselves. Jesus’ heart beats for you. Choose faith over fear today because you are loved!
