Like the old song says, "You can't get to heaven on roller skates, in a washing machine, or on a rocket ship". This week in Family Worship we'll hear the words that Jesus says to tell us that He is the only way into heaven through an "I am" statement and his lasting words.
I can't tell you how many times I have told my kids "Don't forget to remember to turn in your assignment" or "Don't forget to remember to take out the trash." I say "Don't forget to remember.." so often. I don't think I've ever said "Don't remember to forget," but it is exactly what God promises to do. Come hear why that matters to you.
We've all had leaders in our lives--teachers, coaches, bosses, etc...This week in Family Worship we'll discover that Jesus tells us "I Am the Good Shepherd", the leader that we, His people, will follow.
Have you ever prayed to God and He answered your prayers, but not in the way you had prayed for? Our God hears our prayers and often answers them in ways that we do not understand or see as "the right way." Today's readings remind us that God does what God does, and we are called to trust Him, through faith, even amid life's struggles.
Of all the "I Am" statements that Jesus makes, "I am the light of the world" might be the most familiar. Family Worship will be focusing on this statement Jesus made and what it means on our journey through Lent.
