March 2, 2014 – Morning Worship

Monday – Isaiah 58; 61:1–2; Luke 4:16–21

In Isaiah 58 the people of God were fasting, but it was not acceptable to God. Why not? What was missing?

Tuesday – Isaiah 58:6–10; James 2:14–26

In Isaiah 58:6–10 the prophet describes “true acceptable fasting.” Why is mercy ministry (i.e. care for the needy) the observable proof of proper fasting?

Wednesday – Luke 4:14–44; Isaiah 61:1–2

Read these passages carefully and answer the question: why did Jesus come to earth?

Thursday – Luke 7:18–23; Isaiah 29:17–19; 35:5–6; Matthew 15:29–39

John the Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus with the question: “are you the one to come or should we look for another?” How does His answer help us to think about mercy ministry?

Friday – Exodus 23:10; Leviticus 19:9–10; 25:35–43; Deuteronomy 14:28–29; 15:4; Proverbs 14:31; 17:5; 19:17; 22:9; 28:27

What does the Old Testament teach us about caring for the poor and needy?

Saturday – Matthew 25:31–46; Luke 9:1–6; 10:9; Acts 4:34–35; 6:1–7; Galatians 2:10; James 1:27; I John 3:16–18

What does the New Testament teach us about caring for the poor and needy? How can we apply these lessons in our lives, family and church?

February 16, 2014 – Morning Worship

Monday – Romans 16:20; I Samuel 17

“God will crush Satan under your feet.” What do you think that means?

Tuesday – Ephesians 6:10–20; Joshua 6

Spiritual warfare is part of the Christian’s life. Why? How does it apply to you?

Wednesday – Genesis 3; Romans 16:20

The commentators tell us that Romans 16:20 is connected to Genesis 3:15. What do you think?

Thursday – Romans 16:20; Deuteronomy 2:26–3:6; Jeremiah 15:1–9; Luke 13:1–5

Many Christians struggle with the phrase “the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” How about you? Do you have a problem with that phrase? Why or why not?

Friday – Romans 16:20; Joshua 10:16–43; Judges 1:27–36; Matthew 14–16,27–30; Romans 10:1–17

“…the God of peace will soon crush Satan under ‘your’ feet.” How does God do this under “our” feet? What do we have to do with it?

Saturday – Romans 16:20; Genesis 39; Daniel 3:17; Acts 4:19; 5:17–32

“…the God of peace will ‘soon’ crush Satan…” What do you think the word “soon” means in Romans 16:20? How does it apply to us now?
