What We Learned This Sunday
True Devotion
February 27, 2022 || Mark 14:1-11
Main point: If Jesus is not first in your delight & devotion, then he might as well be last.
Those who truly put Jesus first are often not who you think.
All your attempts to put Jesus first are beautiful.
“To you also, Jesus says, ‘I know your works.’ You see no beauty in any action that you do. All seems imperfect, blemished and defiled. You are often sick at heart of your own shortcomings. You often feel that your whole life is one great arrear, and that every day is either a blank or a blot. But know now, that Jesus can see some beauty in everything that you do from a conscientious desire to please Him.” J.C. Ryle

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 Wrestling Match
Scripture: Genesis 32:1-32
Bible Truth: God protects, disciplines, and blesses His chosen ones.
Where is Jesus: John 12:13
Can you imagine what Jacob must have thought when in the middle of the night a stranger appeared and began to wrestle with him? Jacob may have thought it was a robber or one of Esau’s men. They wrestled all night, but Jacob did not give in. Then, toward morning, the man put Jacob’s hip out of joint with one small touch. Suddenly, Jacob realized he had been wrestling with God.
Despite the pain, Jacob held on and refused to let go until God blessed him. So God blessed Jacob and gave him a very special name: Israel. From that time on, God’s people would be known as the people of Israel.
When Jesus came riding into Jerusalem just before going to the cross, the crowds waved palm branches and shouted, “Blessed is ... the King of Israel.”
February Memory Verse: “The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.” Psalms 121:7
