Week Thirty-nine
Welcome! We pray that you have all had a precious time worshipping the Lord this morning! Below you will find some thought provoking questions that will provide you a starting point to your journal writing to complete this week. We hope that you will find this time soul satisfying!
Our reading this week was Mark 15 - Luke 8:39...
1. Jesus humbled Himself to become a man. When are you tempted toward pride and self-sufficiency? Ask God to help you humbly focus on Jesus rather then yourself today.
One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus Himself was baptized. As He was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in the form of a dove. (Luke 3:21-22)
2. When have you witnessed or experienced a display of great compassion? Seek God for direction on how you can show compassion to someone today. Ask Him to help you see people as He does, looking past the ugly crookedness of their natures to see their needs.
You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. (Luke 6:36)
3. This woman anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume. Think of all the reasons you have to love Jesus. Send your prayer of gratitude heavenward as a sweet-smelling sacrifice of praise.
I tell you, her sins - and they are many - have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love. (Luke 7:47)
