Weekend in Review – July 25, 2010
Weekend Topic: Brick Promises – Holding on to our burdens can build barriers between us and God
Understandable Message: We all experience anxiety in one way or another. We explored the things that cause us to be nervous or anxious and the methods that people use to cope with anxiety. We examined 1 Peter 5:7 and Psalm 55:22 and learned that because God cares for and loves us so much, he wants to take those burdens from us. All we need to do is completely give our worries over to God.
How to apply the message: To visually understand how our burdens can build barriers between us and God, we took bricks and wrote on them the anxieties we face or the worries we have. We stacked them together to see how they form a wall, that is, to act as a barrier between us and God. On the other side of the bricks, we wrote “I will give it to God”. We left with instructions to take the bricks home to act as reminders of what we should do when we are worried or feeling anxious. We ended with Matthew 11:28 – Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Element of Fun: Human Foosball. Need I say more?
Up Next Week: No Well meeting next week. We will resume on August 8th.
