Yosemite Trip

Where: Yosemite
Date: March 27, 2010
Time: Meet at Starbucks at corner of Summerville and Perrin at 7:00am
Who: Everyone is invited
Why: Climb Vernal Falls, 3 mile hike, Bible Study and Prayer at top
I would like to car pool as much as possible. If anyone can drive multiple kids please e-mail or call me. Again everyone is welcome to come, not just FCA families. We are planning to leave Fresno by 7:15, quick stop in Oakhurst for bathrooms or food, and then Yosemite. I believe it costs $20.00 per car to get into Yosemite. Once in Yosemite we will park near the Vernal Fall Bus stop. I think it's call Curry Village. Take the bus to the bottom of Mist Trail. Hike to the top were we will eat lunch, pray, and have a Bible study. After the hike we will take the bus to the Ahwahnee Hotel. There we will relax before heading home. We should be home by 6:00 at night, or sooner. Please contact me with any questions.

Matthew Chapter 16

Today's Lesson was on Peter's Conversation with Jesus. (Matthew Ch.16 13-23). Please read it again. Here are some questions.

1. What does Jesus call Peter? Why is this important?
2. What do we build our foundations on? What do we not build our foundations on?
3. What does Peter tell Jesus that makes Him upset?
4. What does Jesus call Peter after this conversation?
5. Why do you think Jesus was so passionate and blunt towards Peter?
6. Do we sometimes think we know what to do, what is right, how to live?

Remember NO FCA next Friday. Tell everyone.

Up and Coming Trip to Yosemite!!!!!!

We are taking a trip to Yosemite National Park this March 27th. We will meet at Starbucks located on the corner of Chestnut and Perrin. Mrs. Frisby is the organizer of this event. She is going to send out fliers next Friday after FCA. The flier will have more details. F.Y.I. this trip is for everyone, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, friends, anyone with a heart beat. We will be climbing Vernal Falls/ Mist Trails. It is an easy to medium 3 mile round trip hike. If you are worried about making the hike you can stop halfway at the waterfall bridge. It's an amazing view. If you can climb semi large steps we will have a small Bible study, prayer time, and lunch at the top of the falls. We WILL NOT be swimming. You will freeze your face off. You will get wet due to the MIST coming off the falls. Most people on the trial will wear a poncho near the end of the trail. It's going to be amazing. This is where I first said, "I love you!" to my wife and were I proposed to her. It's going to be amazing... really.

Matthew Chapter 15

In this chapter we skip a few verses. We head into the meat and potatoes of the chapter. We start at verse 10 through 20, then move to verse 30 to 39. Here are the questions for chapter 15.

1. What does it mean to defile?
2. It's not what we eat but what we say that can defile a man. What does that mean?
3. Let the blind lead the blind, and fall into a pit. What does this mean?
4. Where does defilement start? Hint... it's not the mouth.
5. What is the heart capable of?
6. Just a chapter ago Jesus feed 5000+++, now Jesus feeds 4000+++. What did the do AGAIN?
7. Not a question, but man... we can forget really fast how faithful and amazing Jesus is.

Matthew Chapter 14

We are going to focus on Jesus feeding the people, Jesus walking on water, and Jesus healing the people of Gennesaret. I believe this chapter has a lot to do with faith. How much faith we have in Jesus, and how much faith we have in his power. Peter asks to walk on water. Some might say that is crazy, but Peter had enough faith to believe that Jesus could guide him. I'm hoping every ones faith will increase after today's message. "Who will ask to walk on water?"

1. What do the disciples what to do with the crowd?
2. What do you think the disciples think they were going to have to do to feed the 5000 +++?
3. Did the disciples have faith in Christ? At the moment of the feeding.
4. What do you think the disciples learned after the feeding?
5. What do you think Jesus prayed about all alone on the mountain?
6. What would you have done if you saw someone walking on water?
7. What happens to Peters faith when rough times come upon him?
8. Would you step outside the boat?
9. Would you have sunk?
10. When is the last time you have asked God for a miracle?
11. Have you begun to doubt Him?
12. How can we gain faith in Christ?
