SERMON RECAP
Behold Your King!
April 3, 2022 || Mark 15:16-32
Main point: O, survey the wondrous Cross—where the King of Glory turns a foolish cross into the throne of grace for sinners.
1. The King’s humiliation.
The reality: Jesus is the true King, who delivers us from all our guilt and shame.
2. The King’s crucifixion.
The reality: Jesus is the only Mediator, who perfectly obeys God on behalf of sinners.
3. The King’s defeat.
The reality: Jesus is the spotless sacrifice, who secures our forgiveness through his death.
“Every Christian is both a Simon of Cyrene and a Barabbas. Like Barabbas we escape the cross, for Christ died in our place. Like Simon of Cyrene, we carry the cross, for he calls us to take it up and follow him.” John Stott

TGKIDS RECAP
TGKids
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: Joseph Reveals Himself to His Brothers
Scripture: Genesis 43-46
Bible Truth: Behind the plans of men stands the plan of God
Where is Jesus: Matthew 26:47–56; Luke 23:33–43
Joseph was betrayed, thrown into a pit, and sold into slavery by his own brothers. But Joseph was ready to forgive them completely for what they had done to him.
Joseph had grace from God to forgive his brothers, and this gives us a glance forward to Jesus. Jesus was betrayed by his friend, Judas, deserted by all his disciples, and crucified by his own people. He, too, extends forgiveness to the very ones who hurt him, and to anyone else who repents of their sin.
April Memory Verse: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in
the land that the LORD your God is giving you." Exodus 20:12
