CONNECTION POINT NEWSLETTER
November 15, 2024
Greetings from Pastor John
This is our last message in the sermon on the mount. At this point Jesus has preached the entire sermon and the final passage we are looking at will show that Jesus is teaching with authority (Matthew 7:28-29). The authority of Jesus is what we are going to be looking at in the final message. What does it mean for Jesus to teach with authority? And we will look at how Jesus’ teaching is different from anyone else’s teaching because He has authority that comes from the Father in Heaven. How we see Jesus’ teaching will frame how we view the rest of the Sermon on the Mount.
Also, plan on sticking around after service for connection Sunday!
See you this weekend.

Family Discussion Starters:
Jesus warned about not acting: Matthew 25
•How did the servants use their master’s money in different ways?
•How can we serve God with our lives?
Because we have come to know the exceeding value of God’s kingdom, we urgently proclaim the gospel to the world so that others might be brought into the kingdom as well.
• HEAD: What would your current works say of your current faith?
• HEART: How can we praise God for allowing us to partner with Him in building His kingdom?
• HANDS: How can we steward our gifts for the growth of God’s kingdom?
Voices from Church History
to serve him; and this turns everything into gold. We are apt
to suppose that we need something splendid to evince our
devotion, but true devotion equals things: washing plates and
cleaning shoes is a high office, if performed in a right spirit.”
–John Newton (1725–1807)
