When my sons were young, we would discuss the Sunday sermon at the lunch table each Lord's Day. Often we would choose a memorable quote or illustration, or just a verse of scripture, to remind us of what we had heard. Linda would write it in her beautiful "kindergarten teacher" writing on a note card, and we would post it on the refrigerator door for us to see all through the week. It's good to have such visual reminders of the lessons God is working into ouur lives. I stil remember some of them (I'll tell you the saguaro story another time).
Pastor Allen understands this principle when he plans the excellent children's lessons for each Sunday (which I always say are really for the benefit of the adults!). Who can forget the memorable Spiderman illsutration from last Sunday?
But, lest we forget...here are the verses it was used to illustrate. Meditate on them this week:
Ephesians 4
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
