For Weekly Inspiration – A to F Week 1

Posted on February 26, 2012 by FaithfullyYoursForever

This Week’s GOSPEL PASSAGE: Mark 1:9-15

Questions to Ponder [adapted from Ashes to Fire Adult Bible Study Guide]

  • If Jesus came to preach about the kingdom of God being near, why is it that we still see sin and death around us?
  • What does it mean to be God’s co-workers in the present while also maintaining a future hope?
  • How can a thorough knowledge of Scripture help us when we are faced with lies and temptations?

As you begin this Ashes to Fire journey for the next fourteen weeks, write a prayer; or pray silently that God would help you to truly enter the story, especially as our Lord makes his way to the cross.

Life Application [adapted from Ashes to Fire Adult Bible Study Guide]

  • Write down or pray silently about specific areas of sin where you would like God to help you achieve victory. Consider writing down specific passages and verses that will remind you of God’s truth and promises when you are faced with temptation.
  • Consider memorizing this simple prayer, Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on me.

    * I have been thinking about these questions during the week. We live in a fallen world, but we have the ability to choose our path… life or death.
    * Even though we live in a fallen world, we are to join God in His work here on earth, but we are also to remember our real home… our future home.
    * There are so many promises from God that are written of in the Scriptures. We need to claim them, but also fulfill our part of the deal to praise, pray, and obey.
