Living It Out This Week

The Gospel is about bringing new life and transformation. Jesus is boldly proclaiming God is doing a new work, not because the “old” was bad, but because He is doing the work. The barriers of access to God is being torn down, may we never rebuild them. May these verses help this week.

Sunday-Mark 2.1-17: Where are you in these verses? How would you respond if you were the man lowered and hear, “your sins are forgiven?” Jesus surprises those who follow him. Pray you are open to the new work of Jesus.

Monday-Ezekiel 34.1-31: How does Jesu fulfill what is said by the prophet Ezekiel? What do we see Jesus doing in Mark to fulfill this passage? How should we be different.

Tuesday-1 Peter 1.13-21: We have a response to the grace of Jesus—live differently. Spend some time in prayer about how Christ is calling you to be different this week.

Wednesday-Matthew 6.1-15: Jesus calls out doing religious things in order to impress others. Our call is to follow Jesus without needing the recognition of others. God sees all and will reward all for what is done.

Thursday-Matthew 6.16-24: Our attitude in how we live out the grace of Jesus will determine where our treasures truly are kept. We can live differently, believe differently because of who Jesus is.

Friday-Mark 2.23-3.19: Jesus causes quite the stir with what he does, when he does it, and how he does it. Yet, this does not deter Him from his mission. What sticks out to you about Jesus?

Saturday-Mark 1.8: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
