Activity 3 - Read and Talk About This...

Read Isaiah 40:11 (Slide 1)

• In this picture Isaiah is creating if God is the shepherd, who are the sheep?
• How does the shepherd take care of his sheep?
• What does this tell you about the way God takes care of us?

​Read Matthew 11:28-39 (Slide 2)

• What does Jesus tell us to do if we are tired from the problems (the heavy burdens) we face in our lives?
• How does Jesus tell us we should learn to be from him?
• Give some example of how Jesus acts with gentleness during his time on earth.
• Why does Jesus act with gentleness and humility when he is the most powerful force in the world and could make people do as he wants? 

Read John 13:4-7 (Slides 3 -5)

• Why is Peter so horrified at the thought of Jesus washing his feet?
• What is Jesus' reply? What does Jesus want these and future disciples to do for others?

• Who are God's servants?

Challenge

• This week try to be grateful for all God has blessed you with by remembering how you can and do affect others whether in a good or negative way. For example, the next time someone says something unkind to you or something that you don’t like, count to 10 inside your head and answer gently and with kind words.
  

Activity 4 - Pray...

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the many ways you have blessed us this week. We have so much to be grateful for Lord even in our times of suffering. Please help us to keep growing in the Fruit of the Spirit of Gentleness and help us to be kind, humble, gentle and considerate of others.

​In Jesus name, Amen.
