Leave Your Nets

Week of Jan 26, 2014

 

 

This week at Saint Matthew’s, we are talking about the calling of the first disciples.  Jesus told them to leave their nets and their father and follow him.  What are you being called to leave behind so that you can follow Jesus?  Our prayer for you in your Faith 5 time with your family this week is that you can remember that you too, are given gifts and called to use them.  What are the gifts that you have been given?  How is God calling you to use your gifts? 

Remember the Faith 5 is 5 simple steps:

1.  SHARE highs and lows of the day
2.  READ and highlight a verse of Scripture in your Bible 
3.  TALK about how the verse relates to your highs and lows
4.  PRAY for your highs and lows, your family and the world
5.  BLESS one another.

Share:  What are some gifts that you think God has given you?  What are some things you feel God has called you to do…today?  This week?  This year?  How can you as a family encourage each other to follow after God? 

Read:

Thursday-Ephesians 4:1-3
Friday-Romans 11:29
Saturday-Isaiah 6:8
Sunday-John 8:31-32
Monday-John 12:26
Tuesday-1 Corinthians 11:1-2
Wednesday-1 Peter 2:21

Talk: What does the daily reading mean to you?  How does it apply to you?  To how your day has gone?

Pray:  For those who haven’t heard the gospel yet, for missionaries and teachers, for confirmation students, for all those who want to strengthen their daily discipleship walk

Bless: Hold hands together as a family and say to the person on your right: “May you know the gifts God has given you, and may you hear his call and follow Him.”  If you live alone, look in the mirror, and say that blessing outloud to yourself…or better yet, grab a friend and bless each other with this week’s blessing!
