Judas and others made choices that broke their relationship with God. They committed sin. Having faith in God means that He is with you at all times, even when it might be hard to make the right choice. Consider how you can call upon God to be with you as you face decisions in life.

Gathering Loose Change
Gathering Loose Change
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was stranger and you made me welcome." Matthew 25:35
Go on a scavenger hunt with your family and collect all of the loose change you find in your house and cars. Count all of the coins and consider adding some of your own allowance or earned money to make a donation in that same amount to a local charity that is providing food for those who are hungry. You can choose any charity you would like to donate to but the following are currently providing meals in the local community:
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle www.foodshuttle.org/donate
Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC: www.foodbankcenc.org
Western Wake Crisis Ministry: www.wwcm.org
Reflection Time
Reflection Time
God provided us with a gift - the gift of free will. Part of that gift is to be able to discern when and how to do the right thing. Judas and the merchants in the temple took that gift for granted, and continued to do what pleased them instead of what pleased the Lord.
(1) How are the actions of Judas and the people in the temple the same? (2) How does knowing God loves you through all your ups and downs help you to make the right decision in honor of Him?
