HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Prayer for the Week (July 12-July 18)
Let us pray for the gift of spiritual growth: Almighty and merciful God, you have planted within us and among us the seed of your Word. Help us by your Holy Spirit to receive it with joy and live according to it, so that we grow in faith, hope, and love.
Amen.

Sunday Reflection (July 12, 2020)
Esau sold out his birthright to his younger twin brother Jacob for a pot of soup (Genesis 25:19-34). Have you ever sold out your faith in God? Is it a sell-out when you have the opportunity to do good yet for whatever reasons you did not? On a historic scale think of all the Christians in Nazi Germany who sold out their Jewish, Gypsy, gay, mentally incapacitated, and communist neighbor. Think of all the God-fearing, Bible-believing Americans right here in Virginia who sold-out their African American brothers and sisters through slavery and then segregation and continual racism. Think of all the Christians in this country who have seen a child in need and despair, yet for whatever reason turned the other way. Think of the times you have had the opportunity to do good, yet for whatever reason, you did not. “Selling out” our faith is a serious dilemma in which we find ourselves.
In spite of our selling out, God still comes to us in Christ Jesus and this highlighted with these words of institution recited at the celebration of the Lord’s Supper: “On the night upon which he was betrayed, he took bread, blessed it, and gave it to his disciples.” This included Judas by the way. God did not give up on Esau or his disciples. God has not given up on you! The Holy Spirit brings us an awareness of our failures and leads us in the way of Christ. God never sells us out and if you have struggles in doing good know that God is still working with you to live up to your birthright as an adopted daughter and son of God.
