Kingdom models

Matthew 23.1-12

Living every day as first and last
Week 3 of 6


Six weeks in which we recognise the urgency of the gospel message, reading Matthew’s uncompromising words as we approach the celebration of Christ the King.

 

Kingdom models


Jesus teaches about humility, contrasting its qualities with the ostentatious behaviour of those who seek to exert power and influence. Paul, too, writing to the Thessalonians, reflects on the power and importance of gentle, honourable behaviour.

This week’s readings, 1 Thessalonians 2.9-13 and Matthew 23.1-12, provide an opportunity to:

  • consider the nature of humility (AAA & CYP)
  • explore the word ‘father’ (AAA & CYP)
  • identify the value of encouragement (AAA & CYP)
  • recognise the relationship between what we do and what we say. (AAA & CYP)
