Bible Challenge 2015
Light a candle or do whatever puts you consciously in
the presence of God. Then pray this prayer (or another of your own choosing) written by Archbishop
Thomas Cranmer in 1549, The Book of Common
Prayer, as you begin your spiritual journey and The
Bible Challenge.
“Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to
be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear
them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest
them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast
the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you
have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.”
Then begin the reading for the day.

5—February 22-8:
Day 50 – Numbers 4-5; Psalm 41; Mark 15
Day 51 – Numbers 6-8; Psalm 42; Mark 16

THEME:
Jesus Christ, Son of God, in obedience to the
Father, subordinates his own self-interest and walks the
lonely way to the cross. Is this any way for the Messiah
to behave? Furthermore Jesus calls us to walk the way
of cruciform services with him. If we had known what we
were getting into following Jesus, would we have followed him?
GENESIS 17: 1-7, 15-16:
God comes to Abram and his
wife Sarai, promising them that they shall have a child
and that thereby they will be the parents of a great nation
that shall bless all the nations of the world.
PSALM 22: 23-31
THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE ROMANS 4: 1325: Paul recalls the story of Abraham, remembering
Abraham as proof that “God was able to do what he had
promised.”
MARK 8: 31-38:
At this point in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus
begins to teach his disciples that he must suffer and be
rejected.

“The Activity of the Holy Spirit”
From Creation to Pentecost, in our everyday lives and activities-even unto the present
time, the Spirit makes itself known, inspiring our thoughts and actions, from the miraculous, to
physical healings, to life changing, soul-shaking, Metanoia personality transformations. Explore with us how the Spirit blesses our lives on a daily basis. This season our speakers will
share their thoughts and experiences on the activity of the Holy Spirit.
We invite you to join us from Noon-1PM each Wednesday during Lent for a simple meal
