Jesse tree week 3 Sentences
Week 3: Sunday: Elijah
Elijah is sent by God to Ahab and the Pagan Gods so he could challenge them. As Elijah challenged them Ahab named him “Troubler of Israel”. After Elijah being called he then wanted to challenge the God of Israel. And so he did.
Week 3: Monday: Hezekiah
Ahaz was a person who never obeyed God. Never respected him and for that when he died Hezekiah made up for his father’s Disobedience.
Week 3: Tuesday: Isaiah
One of the seraphs flew to Isaiah with a live coal taken from the altar. Isaiah then heard the voice of the Lord saying “Whom shall I send, And who will go for us”. Isaiah replied” Here I am, send me!!!”. And so Isaiah was sent by the Lord.
Week 3: Wednesday: Jeremiah
Jeremiah taught the people that if they continued to oppress the immigrants, Orphans and Widows then they could not pray Faithfully. He said” If you don’t murder, steal, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal and go after other Gods that you have not known (praying to other Gods) then you can pray Faithfully. The message from Jeremiah was that if you do bad things then you could not pray properly and do the right things.
Week 3: Thursday: Habakkuk
Admitting that he does not understand God's will, Habakkuk stood ready to hear what God has worked out. God told Habakkuk that no matter what seemed to be happening on the exterior, God's big plan for the Judeans who lived in faithfulness would not be held up.
Week 3: Friday: Nehemiah
After convincing the king to let him come back to Judah, Nehemiah was named leader and given authority to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. When Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem, Nehemiah regrouped the people and rebuilt and reestablished the walls in fifty-two days.
Week 3: Saturday: John the baptist
Jesus had massive respect for John the Baptist saying, “among those born of women no one has appear greater than John the Baptist”. John was called by God to be a prophet and prepare himself to follow this call. Commitment to a goal means some reevaluation of priorities. John apparently wanted to be free of any responsibility except getting ready to proclaim the coming of the Messiah. He wanted people to know that the time for the Messiah to come was near. This meant that their priorities in life needed to be reviewed. When we realized that we were being called to a new life in Christ, we have to examine what sacrifices we were going to be called to make a change of our lives. While we will not be called to the extremes that John the Baptist was, we also need to recognize that life has to be different if we have to remain faithful.

Jesse Tree Week 3
We are learning about the events and prophecies of the Jesse tree. We looked it up in a website and in groups we are understanding and knowing the meaning of the prophecy and its connection to the coming of Jesus.
Jesse Tree Week 3
By:AJ, Faith and Ronan
Sunday: Elijah
Ornament: Stone Altar
Elijah Fights the False Gods
God now calls Elijah to confront Ahab and pagan gods. He is going into enemy territory: Jezebel is killing off the prophets of Israel. In spite of the danger, Elijah is not put off. When he meets with the king, Ahab called Elijah the “troubler of Israel.” Elijah responds by challenging the priests of Baal and Asherah to a contest with the God of Israel.

Monday: Hezekiah
Ornament: An Empty Tent
Hezekiah
Ahaz was not faithful to God, engaging in such contemptible practices as sacrificing one of his sons in the Canaanite way (2 Kings 16:1-4). When Ahaz died, he was replaced by his surviving son, Hezekiah. Hezekiah tried to make up for his father's unfaithfulness.

Tuesday: Isaiah
Ornament: Fire Tongs with Hot Coal
Isaiah and the Call to Holiness
In response, one of the seraphs flies to Isaiah with a live coal taken from the altar and touches his lips with it, declaring that his guilt has departed. Isaiah then hears the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And Isaiah replies, “Here am I; send me!” (Isaiah 6:8).

Wednesday: Jeremiah
Ornament: Tears
Jeremiah
Jeremiah teaches that the people cannot pray faithfully if they continue to oppress the immigrants, the orphans, and the widows. They have to stop shedding innocent blood (some practiced human sacrifice), and they must act justly toward one another. “Here you are, trusting in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are safe!'—only to go on doing all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your sight? You know, I too am watching, says the Lord” (Jeremiah 7:8-11).

Thursday: Habakkuk
Ornament: Stone Watchtower
Habakkuk: Patient Waiting
Acknowledging that he does not understand God's will, Habakkuk stands ready to hear what God has planned. God assures Habakkuk that no matter what seems to be happening on the surface, God's ultimate plan for the Judeans who live in faithfulness will not be delayed. “For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3).

Friday: Nehemiah
Ornament: City Wall
Nehemiah Reform and Renewal
After persuading the king to let him return to Judah, Nehemiah was named governor and given permission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. When he arrived in Jerusalem, Nehemiah rallied the people and rebuilt or restored the walls in fifty-two days. However, he realized that the people were spiritually lax and must also be rebuilt. Ezra read the Law to the people and helped them understand its demands.

Saturday: John the Baptist
Ornament: Scallop Shell
John the Baptist
Jesus had immense respect for John the Baptist saying, “among those born of women no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). John was called by God to be a prophet and prepared himself to follow this call. Dedication to a goal means some reevaluation of priorities. John apparently wanted to be free of any obligations except getting ready to proclaim the coming of the Messiah. He wanted people to know that the time for the Messiah to come was near. This meant that their priorities in life needed to be reconsidered. When we realize that we are being called to a new life in Christ, we have to consider what sacrifices we are going to be called to make to change our lives. While we will not be called to the extremes that John the Baptist was, we also need to recognize that life has to be different if we are going to be faithful
