Passion Week: Possessions

On By BrianIn Holidays

Monday: Possessions – Give all to Him
Read Mark 11:15-19, 12:13-17, 12:41-44

Prayer: Father, they dragged buying and selling even into your house.  How easy it is for me to get caught up in the buying and selling of our culture.  Help me be like the widow who willingly gave all to you.  All that I have is from you; it is yours – do with it as you please.  Even my life is from you, and you made me in your likeness, so help me give myself to you – even as your Son gave himself for me.  Amen.

Reflect/Discuss: What would it look like to live according to this prayer?

Praise: Sing “Take My Life”

Passion Week: Praise

On By BrianIn Holidays

Palm Sunday: Praise – Rejoice in the Messiah
Read Mark 11:1-10

Prayer: Father, let me join the crowds and lift up my voice in praise to you.  Thank you for the coming kingdom – the great hope of a new heaven and earth where we will dwell in peace without suffering in the presence of our King.  Thank you for so many salvation blessings of which the crowds were completely unaware.  Awaken my soul to give you the glory and praise that is due you today.  Amen.

Reflect/Discuss: For what salvation blessings can you praise the Lord today?

Praise: Sing some of your favorite songs of praise to the Lord.

As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—
the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice
for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,
“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,
“Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered,
“I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
– Luke 19:37-40

And the stones do cry out – proclaiming the glory and beauty of our Creator!
