Matthew Chapter 18:1-6

Today we are reviewing Matthew Chapter 18. Just the beginning of the chapter. The majority of the chapter is very very very important, but I think the context is a little much for elementary students. It's very important, but I suggest Dad's and Mom's read through these verses with their kids. They are important.
Today we are going to talk about having faith like a child. Read Matthew Chapter 18:1-6

1. How do Book Buddies act when you read to them?
2. What kind of qualities do children have?
3. When you were a kid, who did you look up to? If they said something to you did you believe it?
4. How are we suppose to act when we read the Bible?
5. Who is the greatest in Heaven? Beside God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?
6. What is the difference between Childish and child like?
7. How can you become more childlike?

Have a great Easter Break!!!!

Matthew Chapter 17

We are going to focus on verses 14-23 this week. These verses deal with faith and how we must have faith throughout every circumstance in life. So far the book of Matthew has shown us how faithless we can be and much faith we really need. These verses also show us how Jesus can have a temper because of our little faith. I hope this chapter encourages you to trust in the Lord with all your heart.

1. Why does Jesus compare the faith of the ideal disciple to a mustard seed, something so small, but very powerful?
2. What is prayer and fasting?
3. Why must you pray and fast to show and grow your faith in Christ?
4. How can we have more faith in Christ?
5. How can we fall deeper in love with God?

Matthew Chapter 16:24-28

This is a summary/thought straight from a 6th grade FCA leader. It's quite impressive...

You must do what God wants rather than what you want, give your life up for God, and believe and follow Him. You must do this not to save your life, but to be wholeheartedly committed to God. Your life will be meaningless if you do not give it up to God. You will be rewarded in Heaven if you do this.
Questions:
1. What might keep you from giving up your life to God?
2. Why is it important to die for God?
3. Why should you want to use God to save your life?
4. Why is it hard to deny yourself?
5. If you follow Jesus why must you lose your life to save it?

What you have read are direct quotes from a 6th grader. I think she gets it. :)

Yosemite Trip Postponed until Late April Early May

Sorry FCA, I wasn't thinking about all the recent snow fall in Yosemite. As of today the trail conditions aren't hike able. They could be opened by March 27th, but I don't want to take the chance of it still being closed, especially since we still might receive some more snow this year. We will postpone the trip to a later date in April or early May. This way the trail will definitely be open, the waterfall will be flowing with large amounts of water, and the weather will be much warmer. Again, I'm so sorry to get your hopes up, but we will hike in Yosemite later in the year. Please tell a friend about this information.

NEW FCA T-SHIRT

This is what the new t-shirts are going to look like. They will be grey dry fit, with red and white lettering. The shirts will cost between 17 and 18 dollars. We are not sure about price because of taxes. Cash would be great, but a check is fine. Please make the checks payable to Danielle Frisby. Again cash is prefered. And Donations are greatly appreciated. We would love to have everyone wearing new FCA t-shirts.

No FCA March 5

No FCA on March 5th due to Muffins With Mom. See you next Friday. I'm hoping we will have a Fresno State Athlete. :)
