THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS

Key Theme:
We dwell in the tension of Palm Sunday, as Jesus sets his face to deal with the curse, brought about by the failure at the tree of knowledge of good and evil, on a tree of his own.

Key Application:
Recognize the weight of the curse so that you can fully embrace the blessing of Christ.

Key Verse:
Romans 1:22-25 “Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen!”

Key Questions:
1. Do I truly understand the weight of sin and the curse, or do I tend to minimize its impact on my life and the world around me?

2. How am I responding to Jesus’ invitation—like Peter, humbling myself before Him, or like Judas, trying to bear my own burdens?

3. Since Jesus has turned the curse into blessing, how should that change the way I live daily in gratitude, faith, and obedience?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
