We are encouraging this season of Lent as a time of introspection and practicing spiritual disciplines. For the next six weeks we will have a different discipline to consider each week. We encourage you to keep a journal of your experience. Also, consider repeating the discipline during the week. For questions or to share your experience with the staff, please fill out the form below.
Sunday, March 1: Second Sunday in Lent
John 8:12-18 Light of the World
Discipline: Quiet (solitude)
Have you ever heard the voice of God speaking to you? What did he say to you? Are you hearing him now? We are so busy that we may not hear God’s voice in our lives because we are too distracted. This week, find a quiet spot to listen for God. You might have to wait until the kids are in bed and TV is turned off. Perhaps getting up early one morning before the others in our household. Read the passages below and listen to what God is saying to you.
John 1:1-18
John 3:19-21
First Sunday of Lent:
Sunday, February 22
Discipline: Fasting
Where are you obeying and trusting scripture? Are you depending too much on yourself and your own abilities, and failing? This week, take one day and skip a meal and spend that time in prayer and reading God’s Word.
Read these scripture passages:
John 14:1-4
1 Peter 5:6-11
Proverbs 3:1-8
