Promise Kingdom Blog

“How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” asked Nicodumus of Jesus in John 3:4. It was a logical question. But Nicodemus should have known that mere human logic wasn't going to cut it when talking to Jesus. Jesus was talking about spiritual realities, not physical ones.

Tomorrow during Promise Kingdom the kids are going to be reading about and learning the story of Jesus cleansing the temple (Lesson 8 in Old Story New). Part of this lesson deals with Jesus not entrusting Himself to the crowds because they were only following Him on account of the cool miracles He could do.

This week we are going to read about the wedding in Cana from John 2 (Lesson 7 in Old Story New) and see that Jesus is the Creator in his loving act of turning water into wine. It was a generous thing to do. Imagine the surprise and joy of the bride and groom! But it was about so much more than good wine at a wedding. That's what we want to see this week.

We had a great day yesterday, kicking off another year of Promise Kingdom! I'm excited to work our way through most of the New Testament this year - not only to see Jesus forshadowed in the Old Testament, but to hear Him speak and watch Him minister through the testimony of the Gospels.
