Cell - October 10
Saturday, October 11, 2008
This week we completed our Chase the Lion series with a conversation about looking foolish. Too often we hesitate to do the things God calls us to do for fear of looking foolish in front of other people. But sometimes that's just what God asks us to do.
We took a look at Zacceus, who was willing to look silly and climb a tree, just to get a look at Jesus. We also talked about what would have happened if David, Joshua, Moses, Peter and others had decided that not looking foolish was more important than answering God's call.
Sometimes we fear looking foolish - in sharing our faith, in inviting friends to church, in saying "no" to things when the Spirit convicts us. We talked about that for a little while. Be ready to talk about these things with your child.
Remember, Hallelujah Night is on December 31. Hopefully, everyone will invite at least one person.
