Dearest Flock -
For those who would like to get the most out of this week’s worship service, I suggest carefully reading the prescribed passage and prayerfully chewing on the following questions:
How To Recognize Christ
Matthew 16:1-12
The Pharisees and Sadducees were natural enemies (conservative vs liberal interpretations of the Law), but they united in their hatred of Jesus. Why did the Lord refuse to perform for them, and what was the one sign upon which He hung all His credentials? Luke 4:16-21; Matthew 12:40
What is the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and why does Jesus caution His disciples against it? Galatians 5:1-10
Begin each day this week by thanking God for making you in His image and for His glory (Colossians 1:16). Then praise Jesus out loud for being your Great God and Savior!
Bon Appétit,
RC
