[Sunday] Who Carried - All Nations
Questions for the Week
Have you ever given up something in lent to help follow Jesus? What did that experience teach you?
Read Matthew 16:21-28. What does it look like to pick up your cross, denying yourself and following Jesus? How successful were the disciples at doing this?
Read Matthew 27:31-33. This is the first and only time Simon the Cyrene is mentioned in Matthew. Where do you think the disciples were at this time?
If you would have been a disciple how would you have felt to see someone else carrying the cross for Jesus?
How does Jesus ultimately carry the cross for the disciples and for you? What does this mean for your faith?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
It's right there, all around us is the party of God's abundance. The question for us all is: Will we enjoy ourselves in God’s generosity, or will we rely on our own strength?
