Family Trees • Week 1 (PG)
KEY SCRIPTURE
1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
2 “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? 3 Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.
PRAYER
Father, you are good and your love endures. Thank you for loving me, saving me and accepting me because of Jesus!
Holy Spirit, this morning, help me to see just how good you are. I confess that I often take your grace and goodness for granted. Help me to trust in your Word, your promises and your presence. I want the promises of your Word to take root in my heart, mind and life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
