WORD FOR THE WEEK: CHICKEN LITTLE

Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)

It is difficult to decipher a rooster from a hen when they are all just baby chicks, but once they grow a little, it’s pretty easy to see the differences. Is it the same for Christians?

Pastor Johnny Teagues discusses his WORD FOR THE WEEK: CHICKEN LITTLE from Sunday, March 1, 2026.

A MOUSETRAP ISN’T JUST A MOUSETRAP

Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said: “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said: “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said: “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.

But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

What’s the moral of the story? The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember: when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

You can shake your head and go "Tsk-tsk-tsk, it's such a shame". But just wait for another virus, business shutdown, riots in another city, war in another country, or any other major problem. It will eventually affect you!

Remember the poem by John Donne: “No Man is an Island”

INTRODUCTION: PSALMS IN THE TRIALS OF LIFE

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 2

Mark Lanier begins a new series on the Psalms and the introduction this week is full of fantastic and useful information to get us ready for the next few lessons. He will be looking at some of his favorite Psalms this week, explaining the purpose of the specific vocabulary and grammar which was used when translating from Hebrew to English.

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

GOD IS BEFORE YOU (Psalm 54:1-3)

Yesterday, Mark broke down these verses, explaining David’s state of mind at the time and why he was seeking God’s help.

What are you facing? What is conflicting you? What is disturbing soul? Mark explains how this particular Psalm can help you with the use of direction words such as “toward God” and “from God”.

GOD IS ACTIVE (Psalm 29:1)

What is the “problem” with translating Scripture from Hebrew to English (or any other language)?

FUN FACT: Why is it called “Sunday School”? This is really interesting and Mark spends a few minutes discussing translations, vocabulary, and grammar.
