Look back:  Read back over Matthew 13:53-58 and consider how the rejection of Jesus was not due to a lack of empirical evidence but rather was the manifestation of unbelieving hearts. 

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we're excited to welcome missionaries we support in Ethiopia:  Tim and Diane Fellows.  Tim will be preaching and sharing about their work.  Take time this week to pray for them.

Sing: Check out this week's music and sing with your family before Sunday!  Introduce your family to a new song - "Magnificent, Marvelous, Matchless Love"
