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”

In The Shadow

On November 21, 2017 By BrianIn PASSION Quotes

Practice doing with less than usual, not buying even when you can afford it, buying nothing but necessities for a time, and spending time in the shadow of Calvary. How much less you’ll find you need when you see how much Christ gave! Draw up your budget at the cross.

Christian Christmas Grinches – Kevin DeYoung
If the disciples were to rejoice when the Bridegroom was with them, surely we can do better than to be outraged sourpusses every year when we commemorate his coming.

4 Questions to Ask Your Money – Tim Challies
Someone once drew my attention to four questions to ask when I am about to make a purchase—any purchase. Looking back, I can see how much better I am at managing money when I keep questions like these in mind….

How Vast the Sufferings – Joseph Swain (via Trevin Wax)
How vast the sufferings, who can tell,
When Jesus fought sin, death, and hell,
And was in battle slain?
How great the triumph, who can sing,
When from the grave the immortal King
Triumphant rose again?

Yet we’ll attempt His name to bless,
While we pass through the wilderness
To Canaan’s happy shore.
But when we reach the plains above,
And every breath we draw is love,
We’ll sing His glories more.

Hope you have a great Lord’s Day attempting to bless the name of Jesus!
