Today, we look at a Day 5 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “From Generation to Generation.”
Prayer: Give us faith like the woman we read about today, God, and help us to walk in your ways. Amen. Reading: Matthew 15: 21-28 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: This summer, as we look at “From Generation to Generation,” we will see how the Biblical characters we study are not at all like us. They were giants—people like Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, David, Mary, and Paul. But just as they were different from us, we have lots of similarities, namely that we are all faithful people. In our story today, we see a woman who has that faith, too. She is unrelenting. And Jesus recognizes that. We, too, are part of God’s story. May God say to us, “Great is your faith!” --Chad Hershberger
