It was an awesome week at AllSaints. We worshipped together with the congregation (sneak a peek up in the balcony and you might catch us rocking out with everyone). For our talk, we continued to discuss who Jesus is. We framed our thoughts by watching a video that took a look at the actual places Jesus visited in Israel. The video showed some cool locations, including the Church of the Nativity – the designated birthplace of Jesus –since it’s not known exactly where he was born. Another spot that was explored in the video were the Southern Steps, leading up the Temple.
The video led into the segue that talked about Simeon, the prophet. He was a dude that was waiting for the Messiah to arrive, in fact he had been told by God that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah. This story reminded everyone that the Jesus fulfilled many prophecies and we looked up a few of these, including one in Isaiah (Isaiah 7:14 to be exact!). It’s pretty cool to see how God orchestrated his Son to be the fulfillment of so many prophecies. We challenged everyone to find another prophecy in the Old Testament that was fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament. All the middle schoolers groaned that they have more homework piled on, but I think they’ll be up to the task.
A few good games were enjoyed as well. We got to play Ninja Warrior. Lots of fun and lots of laughs!
