Questions for children (or anyone else)

Draw a picture of putting batteries into a toy, or even something that doesn't normally have batteries.

What kind of pattern is there here which emphasizes the Trinity? What is a useful picture to remember this kind of structure?

What are the two aspects of the word "flesh"?

What are some ways that you serve God? How can you make sure you are doing that service in a spiritual way?

When you are weak or tired or sad, do you pray to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to fill you and help you overcome?

Romans 1:1–7 (ESV)

¹Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

²which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

³concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh

⁴and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

⁵through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

⁶including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,

⁷To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The book of Revelation may be the most Trinitarian book in the Bible, or at least the most triadic. A little -known book by J. M. Cascione, In Search of the Biblical Order has been helpful to me in tracing out some of the myriad numerical patterns and structures in Revelation and the rest of the Bible.

I mention in the sermon that Revelation 4 and 5 are rich symbolically because of its numerical patterns. I've attached a PDF file of some of the most obvious patterns: Revelation 4 and 5 Patterns . There is probably far more here, but it is a start, perhaps to your own exploration.
