When partnering with your family to know, love, and follow Jesus, we strive to create and share content filtered by the Head-Heart-Hands model.
Head: the knowledge of God and His Word | Heart: the personal connection from scripture | Hands: a missional mindset
HEAD
Have you ever felt like you were better than someone else? Maybe you are a better soccer player, or you are better at a certain subject. And maybe sometimes you want to TELL people that you are better than them. Paul warns us in verse 6 that boasting (talking about our own achievements, or how much better we are) is not good! He compares boasting to a little bit of leaven (what makes bread rise), and how a little bit can ruin the whole lump of dough. When Paul says in verse 8 to “celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth…” He isn’t talking about us going and buying bread that is made with those ingredients, but rather character traits we should live our lives with.
HEART
Jesus died so we can share the good stuff with others & that is how we should live our lives - always sharing the good stuff, but not being prideful and telling others we are better.
HANDS
Pray: Thank you, God, for giving us good stuff that we can share with others. Help us to remember that You’ve created each of us and our friends with different gifts. When we want to brag or boast, remind us to be kind and not to think better of ourselves than we think of others. Amen.
