New Territory

I'm going to give this a shot - blogging, that is.

My inspiration? As a church we are reading through the Gospels during the month of March and into April and I wanted a way for us to interact about what we are reading. I want you to be able to share what sticks out to you or what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, through the passage for the day.

Remember, put yourself in the story. Let the familiar become new. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring new life to the words in red.

The passages for yesterday, March 3, were Matthew 1 and 2 and Luke 1. The following is what jumped out at me:
  • God is a God of generations
  • God causes all things to work together for good: the injustice to Tamar; the heartache of Naomi and Ruth; the sin of David - all are in Jesus' family tree
  • Joseph's obedience
  • The working of the Holy Spirit
  • The poetic and prophetic utterances of Elizabeth, Mary and Zacharias - Old Testament saints filled with the Holy Spirit!
Today's passages are Mark 1 and Luke 2. So here goes. Hope to hear from you. PrairieParson JB
