Good Morning, Everybody!
How IS everybody this morning?
[Awesome] Well that is very good to hear.
Even without one more hour of sleep,
you're still awesome. That's good.
Who would like to look in The Purple Bag this morning?
Let's let Genevieve.
She hasn't looked in a while.
[Genevieve takes The Purple Bag from Pastor Dave and
looks inside]
Do you know what that is,
Genevieve?
Maybe you can hold it up so maybe somebody else could see.
It's a bottle.
Anything special on this bottle?
Yes, Irene? [Irene responds]
Yes. You would think it is a cap of cheese, but it's a ...
"Cheese Head"!
Obviously, when you look and
you say "Cheese Head"? You don't understand.
Did you figure out what it is, William? 'Cause you
saw this crazy person on the front, didn't you?
Well now, what is this,
William?
It's a bottle of wine for Packer fans.
Yes. Cheesehead wine.
Because Packer fans
wear big cheeseheads
on their heads! Yes!
Don't look at me like that, Irene. I know it sounds odd,
but yes; there are people here who own them ...
and wear them ... in public!
With these big green
jersey things on. And not just
on the days when there's a football game.
But just for, you know ...
fashion statement. Because the people who are
do these kind of things, are what we call ...
they wear them all the time, yes.
They're called: fanatics.
We shorten it down for fans.
And it's not just Packer fans,
you could, ... but we got this from a Viking fan and they
wear a helmet with horns on it. Um-hum.
They're purple. They're not green; they're purple.
And they're as crazy as the Packer fans are!
Never miss a game. They will
rearrange their life!
Yes. That color is purple. That's right!
They will come to the games early, hours early
in the freezing weather to eat
hamburgers in the parking lot,
with their cheeseheads on.
Because they are fanatics
about the Packers. That's kind of what we're talking about
when we talked today about zeal. Zeal is a hard word
for us to understand. But what it really is
it just means that we are really,
really involved with something.
And today we see that Jesus was involved with
God's house and the proclamation of God's Word.
He wanted It to be pure. He wanted the teaching
of Him as the Lord and Savior to be
the most important thing. The news that He had died,
the news that He was going to rise from the dead was the
most important thing. And He didn't want anything else to
distract from that or take away from it. And that's what
He says to us. That we should really be excited
about church. We should really be excited about learning
God's Word. We should have zeal to come to Sunday School.
We should want to be here.
And learn more and more about Jesus all the time.
Because that's what's important. That's what's most
important in our life: To know that we are God's children;
that He saved us; and that He is going to take us
to be with Him in heaven.
Are there any other questions about being a fan of Jesus?
Yes, Jenny.
Yes! It is important to go to
church to learn more stuff about Jesus. That's exactly
what we're talking about. Yes, the things He did on the
cross. The things He taught people. All of those things
are very important. And that's what we talked about and
discussed here and that's why it's good for us to be here.
Okay? So you guys can go back to your moms and dads and
we'll join together in our Hymn-of-the-Day.
