What We Learned This Sunday
Not Far From The Kingdom
January 23, 2022 | Mark 12:28-34
Main point: All who truly love God leave everything to follow Jesus.
Love God above all.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Follow Jesus.
“In the evening I went very unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, where one was reading Luther’s preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.” John Wesley

What Our Kids Learned This Sunday
TGKids Recap
The heart of TGKids is to help children understand that the Bible is all about Jesus! Below is the story, scripture, and main teaching points from the TGKids lesson, so that you can talk with your kids about what they learned.
Bible Story: Jacob’s Lie
Scripture: Genesis 27
Bible Truth: The purpose of God will stand in spite of man’s sin.
Where is Jesus: Acts 3:12-15
In this Bible story from Acts, the apostle Peter was sharing the gospel story (the story about Jesus) and he gave God an interesting name. He called him “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” God chose Jacob rather than Esau to carry on the covenant promise he made to Abraham. In that covenant, or special promise, God said that Abraham’s children would become a blessing to all nations. That promise was passed on to Isaac and then to Jacob. Then one of Jacob’s far-off grandchildren, Jesus, would become the blessing to all nations that God promised. When we trust in Jesus we are adopted into Abraham’s family as one of God’s children.
January Memory Verse: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
