    Jesus at the Temple John 3 14  And the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as the metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert. 15 Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. 16 God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only…

    Read John 3:14-21 with your family. Sometimes it’s hard to remember, and hard to imagine, the world and the culture around us being different than what we know.

    Jesus at the Temple John 2 13  Not long before the Jewish festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves in the temple.

    Jesus predicts his death Mark 8 31 Jesus began telling his disciples what would happen to him.

He will be rejected and killed, but three days later he will rise to life.” 32 Then…

  • Kids Korner: Don’t say that (Feb. 25th)

    Read Mark 8:31-38 with your family. Sometimes we have friends who support us in everything we do without a problem. Sometimes we have friends who support us even if they think we are making a bad choice. And sometimes we have friends who try to talk us out of things because they are afraid we…
