Living It Out This Week

Sunday-Mark Mark 13.1-22; 28-31: Mainly predicting the fall of the Temple, what is important in these verses? How can knowing what was to come encourage the early church?

Monday-Mark 13.23-27; 32-37: These verses deal with Jesus coming again on the clouds. Through all these verses how does Jesus focus our attention on what matters most? The key words include: be alert, keep watch, and watch.

Tuesday-Matthew 25.1-13: Jesus told this parable to help his disciples, and us, know what our job was while waiting for his return. What would you say is our job from this parable? How are you being like the wise virgins?

Wednesday-Matthew 25.14-30: Our master has left this world and given us a task. Notice how each servant was to be busy with the work until the master came home. Each was rewarded for what they did except one. Which one are you?

Thursday-Mark 14.22-26: Jesus spends one last meal with his disciples and teaches them many things. He grounds their hope in a coming day when He is Lord. Yet, he is now Lord because of His sacrifice.

Friday-Joshua 4.1-24: What stones have you gathered in life? How can those stones remind you, and others, of who Jesus is? Prepare to hear the Word on Sunday!

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.
