Week of 1.29.2023 | Weekly Focus

The peaceful beginning of God’s kingdom takes a terrible turn. Adam and Eve’s position as rulers and representatives over God’s kingdom comes under attack by a sneaky enemy who deceives them into doubting God and His loving character. Adam and Eve decide they want to be more than just God’s representatives, they want to be like God and take control of the kingdom. They rebel and eat the one thing God had told them not to eat. Sin enters the world. God’s perfect kingdom is broken. There is no longer peace in creation. But God is not shaken by this attack on His kingdom. One day He would send the perfect King to restore His kingdom, just as He designed it.

Memory Verse

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Weekly Catechism

What else did God create? God created all things by his powerful Word, and all his creation was very good; everything flourished under his loving rule.
