Welcome to Church online

Week of 05.02.2021

Church Online can be done at any point of the week. If you find yourself needing to be fed spiritually, look no further. In depth lesson questions and videos are updated weekly for you to go through with friends or family. Church is still not meeting in person, but we can still continue our journey of faith together online.

Set aside 20 minutes where you can sit focus and listen with intent. Turn off your phone and open with today's prayer so that you can center and focus on this week's lesson.

Today's Prayer

Father God,

Thank you for all of your blessings. Continue to watch over my family and my community. I want to know you more and grow closer to you each and every day. Help me to see you in my life more this week. In Jesus' name,

Amen

the Bible Project "Isaiah"

READ & DISCUSS
Take this time to pull out your bible and look up the scripture listed below. Feel free to look it up online, but may I suggest using your hard copy to become more familiar with it. Teach one another how to look up verses, take notes, highlight ones you've read. For me having a bible in hand is equivalent to receiving an email vs a letter. Emails are convenient, but there's something special about hand written letters. So open up those bibles and read along!

Isaiah 61:1-11 Read here

In Luke 4:16-22, we learn that one day after Jesus finished reading Isaiah 61 in the synagogue, he said, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” From what you’ve learned about Jesus so far, how does his life match the description of the Messiah in Isaiah 61?
Review the first three verses of today’s passage. What are the specific actions the Messiah is anointed to do in the world? How could each of those actions practically impact your community today? List some specific examples.
Notice that those who receive the Messiah’s restorative help (Isaiah 61:1-3a) become the people who help to restore others (Isaiah 61:3b-4). How have you been restored by Jesus and how are you passing that restoration on to others?
Turn your reflections into a prayer. Express your gratitude for what Jesus came to do. Invite his restoring work into your life and community, and ask for renewed trust and courage to cooperate with him.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
