The Coin & The Fish

Introduction

Welcome to our new series for the month of April called “Jesus’ Miracles”. It sounds like exactly what it is, we will be looking at specifically some of the miracles that Jesus preformed while he was on Earth. While Jesus was on Earth he did tons of really cool things and he surprised a lot of people. The people that got to see the most miracles were Jesus’ disciples.

Big Idea: Jesus cares about the small, practical needs in your life.

Matthew 17:24–27 “When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.””
