    Holy Week Series: Holy Tuesday

    Overview Welcome back to our Holy Week series on The Reformed Classroom Podcast! Each day this week we are walking through the events that took place during the final days of Jesus’ life leading up to His death, burial, and resurrection. In today’s episode, we look at the events of Holy Tuesday, when a shocking plan begins to unfold. One of Jesus’ own disciples—Judas Iscariot—agrees to betray Him. Through several passages in the Gospels, we learn what betrayal means and why Judas’ actions were so painful. Judas had walked closely with Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and heard His teaching. Yet his heart had grown hardened by sin. This episode helps children understand the seriousness of sin, the danger of allowing sin to harden our hearts, and the incredible truth that God was still completely in control of His plan to save His people through Jesus. Even Judas’ betrayal was part of the plan that would lead Jesus to the cross—the place where He would give His life so that sinners could be forgiven and restored to God. Scripture Reading Luke 22:1–6 Matthew 26:14–16 Mark 14:10–11 John 6:70–71 John 12:5–6 Romans 8:13 Family Discussion Questions What does the word betray mean?Why was Judas’ betrayal of Jesus such a serious and painful thing?How can sins like greed, jealousy, or fear affect our hearts?Why is it important for us to fight against our sin instead of loving it?What does the Bible say we should do with our sin?Was Jesus surprised by Judas’ betrayal? Why or why not?

    Holy Week Series: Holy Monday

    Overview Welcome back to our Holy Week series on The Reformed Classroom Podcast! Each day this week we are walking through the events leading up to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In today’s episode, we look at what happened on Holy Monday. After entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus went to the temple, the place where people were supposed to gather to worship God. But when Jesus arrived, He found that the temple had been turned into a noisy marketplace. Jesus cleansed the temple, reminding the people that God’s house was meant to be a house of prayer. Later, Jesus cursed a fig tree that had leaves but no fruit, teaching an important lesson about what true faith looks like. Just like the fig tree looked healthy on the outside but produced no fruit, the religious leaders appeared faithful but did not truly know God. This episode helps children understand that God cares about our hearts, not just what we look like on the outside. Scripture Reading Matthew 21:12-12 Zechariah 9:9 Family Discussion Questions Why was Jesus upset when He went into the temple?What were the people doing that should have not been happening in a place of worship?Why did Jesus curse the fig tree when it had leaves but no fruit?How were the temple leaders like the fig tree?What kind of "fruit" should grow in our lives when God changes our hearts?

    Holy Week Series: Palm Sunday

    Overview Welcome to the very first episode of The Reformed Classroom Podcast! In this special Holy Week series, we will walk through the most important week in the Bible—the week leading up to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In today’s episode, we begin with Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem. Crowds celebrated His arrival, but they didn’t fully understand who He truly was or why He had come. Jesus did not come to conquer with earthly power or armies—He came to save His people from their sins. Together we explore how this moment fulfilled prophecy and revealed Jesus as the promised King God had sent. Scripture Reading Matthew 21:1-11 Luke 19:38 Zechariah 9:9 Family Discussion Questions Why do you think Jesus rode a donkey instead of a war horse?Did the people fully understand what kind of King Jesus really was?Do you think Jesus knew what would happen during that week?Why do we need Jesus as our King?What does it mean to trust Jesus as King?
