Observe — Our theme this week is “Relationships are valuable and we must do whatever we can to keep them healthy and whole.” What’s one way you think you can do this?

Bible — This week’s verse is 2 Corinthians 13:11 (NIV) “Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.”

In your notebook or journal, complete the following:

1. Write out the verse: 2 Corinthians 13:11

2. Beside the verse, write what you think God wants you to learn or do as a result of reading and writing that verse today.

3. Search “live in peace” on BibleGateway.com

Stretch — How do you respond when you need to have a difficult conversation with someone you love? And conversely, how do you respond when you are confronted by others?

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
