DEVOTION:  Mark 7:24-37 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[a] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. 25 But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." 29 And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter." 30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

31 Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. 32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." 35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36 And Jesus[b] charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

Enjoy and share!

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ  Why is Jerusalem sometimes called Zion or Mt. Zion?  Who were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego?

These were three Israelites who would not defile themselves or commit idolatry by bowing down to worship the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had made.  They were thrown into a fiery furnace, but the Lord had mercy on them and saved them out of the fire.

DISCIPLE MAKERS BEGINS THIS SUNDAY AT 10:45

 

If you want to learn the Bible for the first time or all over again, please join us for this!  This coming Sunday we are going to take a step back and look at what the Bible is, whose it is, what it does, and who it's all about. 

 

Come enjoy some fun, some fellowship and a  whole lotta Jesus!! 

 

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS: this is your confirmation class for this year.  Every other year we go through the Scriptures, so this is simply taking the place of "The Story" that we had been using the last several years. 

                HIGH SCHOOLERS: it's never too late to learn the Scriptures like you should, and because many of you are planning on going to the National Youth Gathering in July of 2019, I am expecting you to participate in your faith and be at Disciple Makers as much as possible. 

                PRESCHOOLERS-SIXTH GRADERS: Confirmation really begins the moment your child is baptized, as from little on they need to know the Scriptures.   Disciple Makers is a prime opportunity and tool to grow your kids in the faith. Your kids need to know their Bibles and so do you!  Get them into it!!  Decide that this is going to be the year that you begin a new discipline of learning the Scriptures TOGETHER as a family. 

                Here's a sample schedule so you know what to expect.

5-10 min- Opening with songs or videos or both

20-25 min- Lesson of the Day, this will include all different sorts of learning tools: songs, skits, games, etc.

15-20 min-  age appropriate activity, craft, or game ending with- Family Faith5 and Free time

               

Always remember that I love you and my only goal is to make sure you're all in heaven with me some day!
