Look back: Read back over Matthew 21:12-17 and remember Jesus asserts his authority over the temple by rejecting insincere worship and receiving sincere praise set apart for God.
Look ahead: This coming Sunday, Pastor Michael will be preaching from Matthew 21:18-22. Read the passage several times with your family during the week.
Sing: Visit the blog for this week's music. In January, our memory verse song is 1 John 4:7. Listen to this as a family! We'll sing it each week during our Zoom lessons. You can also find our music playlists on Spotify.
Monthly Missions Focus: This month we will be learning about the ministry of John Bai in Washington.
