Parable of the Wicked Tenants

Week of June 18th, 2014

This week at Saint Matthew’s, we continue our summer in the parables with the parable of the wicked tenants.  The story reminds us of how the Son of God was going to be treated by man.  Instead of being welcomed and honored, he was killed.   How do we react when God is present in our lives?  Are we ready for him and welcoming?  Or do we not take time, and shove him out of our lives?  Our prayers are with you as you spend time in your Faith 5 this week.  May your time together help your family to remember that all things are possible with God!

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:  Where is one place that you saw God today?  Was there a part of your day where God didn’t seem present?  Share about that too.

Read:

Wednesday-Ephesians 4:32

Thursday-John 3:16-17

Friday-1 John 4:20-21

Saturday-Colossians 3:12-14

Sunday-Romans 12:9-13

Monday-Hebrews 13:2

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

Pray:  For those facing persecution, for those who feel unloved by family members, for those who are lonely, for those in need of protection, for those who are abused, for abusers

Bless: Make the sign of the cross on the forehead of the person being blessed (or on your own forehead if you are alone), and say: “Remember, God goes with you, loves you, and protects you.”
