this sunday

14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. 15When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into[c] the name of the Lord Jesus. 17Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
How come the Holy Spirit hadn't "come upon" any of these people who had believed and been baptized into the name of Jesus?
What does this mean for us?
We'll talk about that this week.

| Tempted in the DesertSunday, February 14
Lesson #3 Bible BasisMatthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12, 13; Luke 4:1-13 Key ConceptJesus chose to do the right thing when He was tempted and I can, too. Bible Verse"No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face.All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; He'll never let you be pushed past your limit; He'll always be there to help you come through it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 (MSG)
ObjectivesKNOW WHAT (LG): Children will hear the story of when Jesus was in the desert and Satan tried to tempt Him. SO W HAT (LG): Children will learn that Jesus was fully man and fully God, and He resisted temptation. NOW WHAT (TT): Children will identify ways they can resist temptation and obey. Spiritual FormationObedience

Colossians 4v.2-6
2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And
pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we
may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
4Pray that I may proclaim it clearly,
as I should.
5Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
~Roger
