The Tuesday morning men's Bible study group at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Eden Prairie, MN, has been challenged to give up something for Lent or to seek ways to take on a new habit that would nurture faith throughout Lent. As a result of that discussion this blog has been created.
I have chosen to use the daily texts as assigned in our "Taking Faith Home" inserts (a daily lectionary which relate to our three-year lectionary). This resource is available at www.immanuel.us
The texts for this first week are:
Feb. 21, Ash Wednesday: Matthew 6:1-6,16-21, Giving, praying and fasting
Feb. 22, Thursday: Zechariah 7:4-10, Justice, mercy and compassion
Feb. 23, Friday: Joel 2:1,2,12-17, A call to repentance
Feb. 24, Saturday: Psalm 51:1-17, Have mercy on me, O God
Feb. 25, Sunday: Luke 4:1-13, The temptation of Jesus
You may choose to add comments to this blog or author your own comments (for others to comment).
May the Spirit stir in you this season of Lent, leading you closer to the heart of Jesus and deeper in your walk with our Lord.
