This Sunday's sixteen minute clip (The Chosen – Episode 7) dramatically portrays two invitations. The first happens in a private meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus. The second is the very public calling of Matthew.
 
Get your Bible and read about these two events. You will find the private meeting with Nicodemus in John 3:1-21. It will require about 3 minutes of your time to read it. Then you can read how Matthew describes Jesus calling him in Matthew 9:9-13. That takes about 45 seconds to read out loud.
 
Ponder these questions:
  • What do Nicodemus and Matthew have in common?
  • What don't Nicodemus and Matthew have in common?
  • What reasons might there have been for the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus to be held at night?
  • What conclusions did you reach when you read the “guest list” for the dinner Matthew hosted to honor Jesus?
  • What were the possible sacrifices each of these men would have to make in order to follow Jesus?
 
My prayer is that this exercise will bless and challenge you as you prepare for this Lord's Day.
 
Be not afraid,
Pastor Jim

There was a terrible roaring feedback from the microphone, which made it very difficult to hear, though it was intermittent.

Vernita and I enjoyed the services and communion in spite of it. Thank you.
