Section 4.2
Lord’s Prayer

Know the paraphrase and the meaning.

Make your name Sacred- Treat as holy
Rule over all- To return to earth and rule over all things. It is also asking for God’s Kingdom to grow and progress on earth before the end comes. We want others to become Kingdom Citizens.
Let Your Plans Be Carried Out- Thy will be done. You are asking for a gift of willingness. We should respond to His will quickly, Sweetly and completely .
Provide what we need today. Pray for everyday food . It should also prompt you to remember that all your needs are met by God and come from His hand. If God removed His hand, the whole nation would fall apart. He provides for our physical needs for food every day.
Cancel our debt for us- forgive us our debts means the forgiveness of our many sins. We can only ask with the measure we are willing to forgive others.

Worry- Pages 118-119
What are 6 reasons we should not worry?
The stuff of life- Life is much more than food or clothes. Don’t scheme and worry how you are going to get more earthly things.

More than Sparrows- You are so valued in God’s eyes. You are worth a whole lot more to the birds and He feeds them.
Trashing Your time. Anxiety is pointless. Worry takes away your life and it adds zero to your life span.
Leaves and Petals versus Royal Robes- God clothes the flowers of the field with beauty and elegance. We don’t have to go out of the house wearing rags. He will do the same for us.
Children of the King- It doesn’t make sense the children of God have the wealthiest Father in the universe. He will provide all our needs.
Omniscient Father- God already knows what we need and will provide.
One day at a time- Tomorrow can worry about itself. God will give us strength to handle the problems that come today…..not the umpteen problems we think are coming.

Section 4.5

How does the teaching about the speck and the beam clarify what Jesus meant in Matthew 7:1? Do not judge or you too will be judged.

Fall
Preview to the total redemption that is coming to reverse the Curse.

Section 5.3
What authority did Jesus prove that He had when He healed the paralytic? How did that healing prove it? The power to forgive sins.
No one could verify his claim to forgive sins, but they could verify His claim of having power to heal. If one was true, then the other was true as well.

What do ALL Jesus’ miracle reverse? The curse as a foretaste of what’s to come.

Discuss some main differences between the Pharisees and the Sadducees and then why did they join forces against Jesus. What did each group stand to lose? Page 149 in textbook.

Spiritual Blindness- The Pharisees were to blame for their own persistent spiritual blindness.

Summarize the three responses to Christ in this story.
Pharisees- unreasonable and unjust rejection to maintain their own authority because of their evil hearts.
Parents- fearful timidity because they didn’t want to be excommunicated from their community and to experience shame, rejection and ostracism that would come with that. Feared people more than God.
Blind Mind who was healed- Grateful belief, worship and public testimony because of what Christ had done for him. Convinced by the miracle that Jesus was from God.

2. Humans can kill the body, but God can send both body and soul to hell forever.
3. God takes care of His disciples.
4. Staying strong in persecution is evidence that God will confess their names in heaven. Perseverance is evidence of true faith.

Here is the list of questions for our zoom class today. We will be discussing these in class. If possible have them printed out. You will need paper, pencil and your textbook for class today.
