DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS LEADING TO Sunday November 20, 2005
Monday:
Luke 1 The Birth of John & Jesus
Read this orderly account of Jesus’ birth. Find Mary’s song to God and consider the wonderment of this miracle birth offering hope.
Tuesday:
Isaiah 25 Psalm of Thanksgiving
When finished reading, make your personal list of the wonderful things God has done for you.
Wednesday:
Isaiah 26 Song of Victory
Have you seen the majesty of the Lord in your life? What does it mean to await God’s victory?
Thursday:
Colossians 1- 2 Christ and Our Response
Christ takes the supreme position life and Paul is offering a grace filled vision of Jesus for all people but particularly for the young church in Colossae as they continue to seek God.
Friday:
Colossians 3- 4 The Christian Life
We read about putting on the life of Christ like putting on a garment of clothing. This passage offers instruction into the way of Christ Jesus. Does anything here surprise you or offend you?
Saturday:
Colossians 1:13-23 Jesus Christ Above All
Have you been rescued? Paul says so. He believes we have been transferred from the pit of darkness to the light of the kingdom. We find we have forgiveness and redemption in this new kingdom. What could be better? Do you know this love, this power to save?
If you do, then what is your response? The church will be receiving the pledges for 2006 this Sunday. I remind us all of God’s need to have all of our lives, not just our time, not just our energy, not just our money. A right response to God should be one of total offering. Everything is God’s and all in our possession should be offered in return. Along with Paul, we shall become servants of this gospel vs23.

Scripture: Colossians 1:13-23
