We are continuing our series called Conversations, where we are looking at how the Gospel shapes how we have conversations. This Sunday we are looking at the challenging conversation. We have to be in conversations that lead to conflict and challenge. The issue is, how is it that we are going to act within the conflict? We will look at Matthew 19 and the Rich Young Ruler to see how Jesus made challenging statements and how he handled differences in conversations.

See you Sunday!

John

January 8 - 15, 2025

• Pray for all those affected by the deadly wildfires in California.

• Pray for Pastor John’s new series on conversations this month.
• Pray for the serious situation involving Joe and Melanie Pires’s daughter.
• Praise the LORD for the relaunch of our Faith Foundations Christian Education program this month.
• Praise the LORD for safe travel for all our families and friends through the holiday season.
• Pray that the KIngdom of God will grow here at FAC in this New Year.

• Pray for Roger Bachelder’s upcoming open heart surgery.

• In what ways was Jesus’ trial unfair?

•What made Jesus the perfect substitute for us?

Because we have been forgiven of our sin, we cast aside guilt and shame when we sin and instead repent with assurance that we are always loved and accepted by God

• HEAD: If Jesus suffered without sinning, how are we to try to endure our present sufferings?

• HEART: Knowing Jesus suffered unjustly, how can we thank Him for His desire to do the Father’s will in enduring suffering and dying for us?

• HANDS: Knowing Jesus has taken away our enslavement to sin, with whom can we share this good news for their salvation also?

Choose and make a recipe in which a substitution can be made, such as unsweetened applesauce for vegetable oil in brownies. When the food is ready, lead the family to taste it and discuss whether the new ingredient was a good substitution. Remind kids that Jesus was the perfect substitution for us because He took our punishment and He offers us new life.

“Surely corruption is ingrained in our hearts,

interwoven with our very natures, has sunk

deep into our souls and will never be cured

but by a miracle of grace.”

–Thomas Boston (1676–1732)
