The Prophet who ran away – Jonah


August, 4, 2012


Jonah 1:1 the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai:   
Go  to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord. 

A great reflection for our  teacher Janice as she shared the story with the beginner's class:

"An obvious lesson from the book of Jonah is in  its teaching of the mercy of God. There is mercy of God to Nineveh, Jonah himself and also the pagan sailors. All were recipients of God’s mercy. We need to go and  preach and we  need to obey God’s word.  Jonah’s obedience was followed by the outpouring of God’s power.  How great is God’s mercy? As the  hymn goes:

 "There's a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea.” 

But even that is not wide enough. The real measure of the wideness of the mercy of God is that of the outstretched arms of the Lord Jesus Christ as He hung on the cross to die for our salvation. That is the wideness of God’s mercy. That is the measure of the length to which the love of God will go.

 Many of us may not know that the book ends with a question,  in order that each one who reads it might ask himself or herself the same question…….How can we, who have known that mercy and benefited from it, be less than merciful to others? How can we do less than love them and carry the gospel to them with all our strength?"

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 11: 18-19

Jesus Prays in a Garden


22 July 2012
Matthew 26:36-50
Today the children were told the story of  Jesus and how he prayed  about a hard job. When Jesus was living on earth, He prayed to God the Father  for the same reason we pray. Jesus prayed alone in the Garden of Gethsemane whilst his friends were sleeping. The next day men came to arrest  Jesus. Jesus did not argue or fight because He was ready to do what God wanted Him to do.  He was ready because He had prayed.  



Stuart and Hui Hui....
Oops.....not forgetting Esther and Snow....
I love to colour and draw .............  thank you Jesus  for   Discovery Hour!


"Read your Bible Pray every day if you want to grow,"
When we have problems, we should pray and ask God to help us just as He had helped Jesus.


Watch and pray so that you will not sin
                                     Matthew 26:41

Mark 11:1-11 Jesus enters Jerusalem

15 July 2012

Jesus was on the way to the city of Jerusalem and he stopped at a small town near the city. Jesus sent two of His friends into town to get him a donkey. When the people asked why Jesus' friends were taking the donkey, the friends said" The Lord needs it". They then put their coats on the donkey so that Jesus could ride on it. As Jesus rode the donkey to Jerusalem, the people were excited. The King was coming. They yelled "Hosanna! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!!  They laid their coats on the ground and waved palm branches in the air to welcome Jesus. All the people were glad to see Jesus because they knew that He was special. Jesus is still special to us today  and  we can worship Him by singing, praising and obeying Him...

We welcome our  King ....Jesus
Colouring the crown....
My favorite colour ...yellow
Hey, look at my lovely crown....
