The Weekly

Mar 8

Written By Michael Tooley

This Past Sunday…

We are continuing our journey through Paul’s letter to the Romans, a profound and foundational exploration of the gospel.
We start with “The Gospel: Right With God” (Romans 1–4), where Paul confronts our need for salvation and reveals how the gospel meets that need. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God provides the righteousness we could never achieve on our own. These chapters lay the groundwork for understanding justification by faith and the transformative grace of God.
This week we began Romans 3 wherein Paul lays out the difficult yet beautiful truth that we contribute nothing but need; God supplies everything in grace.

Kids Moment

This coming week in Mission Kids we will be looking, conquering Jericho.

**Bible Story Summary:**
• Joshua and the Israelites battled the city of Ai, but they lost! Joshua did not understand why they lost.
• God told him a man named Achan took items he wasn’t supposed to take. Achan
admitted his sin, and he was punished.
• After this, the people listened to God. When the people of Ai chased after them, the
Israelites tricked them and won the battle! Joshua thanked God, and the Israelites made a special place to worship God.
**Review Questions:**
•Why was Achan punished?
•How does Jesus save us from the punishment we deserve?
