Around the country not just at your school,
homecoming is a big week.
And what usually happens, at least in America,
is we schedule this football game.
And there's a couple options how you can do that.
Number one is you schedule a cupcake team
that most likely your team is going to beat
and everybody is happy.
Option two
is you schedule a team
that's a little bit better than yours
hoping that the energy and all the things happening
during Homecoming week will make a victory possible.
That usually doesn't work.
Now the reason they schedule homecoming week
is as an adult if you've ever gone back to your school,
they want the alumni or
the former students to come all at once.
Because if you've ever gone back to high school
just on a random day, it's really awkward.
Have you ever gone to your elementary school just by yourself?
And you thought it'd be really cool and you'd feel great.
And it feels weird.
But if you go as a group,
then you feel cool,
and you feel like you're the upperclassmen
and everyone has fun.
Way, way better.
The same thing is true with these football games.
So they invite the alumni to go back to their alma mater.
Now you're probably wondering what's alma mater?
That is a Latin phrase that describes
your former school or university or high school.
And literally alma mater means, as you could guess,
nourishing mother.
Obviously.
The reason they probably say nourishing mother is
for many people they went to a place
and they matured and they grew
and they learn more and more at this place.
And to them, in a sense, it's home.
Now I want you to listen very closely to Ephesians
because here the Apostle Paul describes home
and you have to find out where it is.
He says,
Now it was a little tricky to find it,
but where did he say that Christ's home is?
It's in your heart.
Here's something to remember during Homecoming week.
Because Christ lived for you,
Christ lives in you
which means, in a sense, he is living in your heart,
working in your heart, encouraging you,
we could say nourishing you in your faith.
So this homecoming week,
you're gonna have all kinds of different people.
You're going to think about this during high school,
but your true home is Christ in your heart.
Let's pray.
Heavenly Father, thank you for sending Jesus
to not only live in our place perfectly,
but also to live in us through faith.
Please keep our faith strong
as we face many temptations this day
and help us walk with you in such a way
that the world can see
that you are a primary resident. Amen.
Today we talked about alma maters,
our nourishing mother of our home school,
but I think for a lot of us
our faith was nourished in our own home.
So what are some of those memories you have
as you were brought up in the faith in your own house?
We'd love to hear it.
