Let's Make A Deal

Jesus exchanged his life for the penalty of our sin. We now have hope of heaven, rather than hell. That's a great trade for us!

Read together John 6:26-28
These verses was when Jesus had fed the 5,000. Some people followed him because they wanted food that would temporarily satisfy their hunger. They were interested in the temporary that would make them feel good immediatly. But Jesus was more concerned about the long lasting feeding of their soul.

1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

This last Sunday was Let's Make A Deal Sunday. We had kids come up that had something to trade. They then pick a container that they wanted to trade with. The tricky thing was, they didn't know if they were going to make a good deal or not.
