Journey of Life

Today marks the beginning of a journey that we are taking as a church. Today we embarked on a Journey of Life. This journey will take us through the time of Jesus' death and then to Easter for a celebration of His resurrection and new life.

Throughout this journey we will be studying the bible together as a church - ALL OF US! Our journey began on Palm Sunday (March 16th) with a church-wide prayer for direction, strength and dedication to the journey. Throughout the week before Easter we will be reading small snipits of the Bible together as we walk with Jesus to the cross and then out of the tomb. This week's readings are:

• Monday: Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 20:17-19


• Tuesday: Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:13-21


• Wednesday: Matthew 26:1-5


• Thursday: Matthew 26:26-29


• Friday: Isaiah 26:19-21; Matthew 27:45-56


• Saturday: Matthew 27:62-66


• Sunday: Matthew 28:1-10

Take some time this week to read through the selected passages in whatever bible version you feel most comfortable. Please note that the reading for Sunday will be basis for my message on Easter Sunday.

The Journey Continues...

On the Monday after Easter we will continue the Journey of Life by reading a book titled: A Call to Die by David Nasser. This will begin the official 40 day Journey of Life. The Journey of Life and the book will focus our attention back on Christ and away from all of the hustle and bustle of the world around us.

Each day we will be reading a small section of the book and answering the questions at the end. Be sure to check back here for an ongoing conversation that will help us apply Jesus' message for our journey. It's time to pack those bags because we're off!

I will leave you with a thought from David Nasser's book -This journey will allow us to fast from the world while we feast on God. Let's get ready to dig into God's truth over the next 40 days.
