Daily Scripture Readings Leading to
Pentecost Sunday June 04, 2006
Monday:
Acts 2:1-13 The Day of Pentecost
Lukes account of the Spiritual happenings within the early body of believers. Is you experience similar?
Tuesday:
Acts 2:14-21 More Pentecost
Peter offers that this people of God are not drunk, although they probably look and sound like it. The promise in Verse 21 feels very important to me.
Wednesday:
Psalms 104 The Creator
The Psalmist recongnizes it is God who creates. While this may seem like a “no brainer” I believe it is really the first steping stone to the life in grace.
Thursday:
Romans 8:22-25 The Good News
I think hope may be the most needed message to the world from the church today. Where do we look for hope? When we are without hope we do stupid things which hurt people. When we live with hope, we honor God and our neighbors as ourselves.
Friday:
Romans 8:26-27 The Spirit Prays For Us
Sometimes folks tell me they do not know how to pray. I take that pretty seriously because without the leading of the Holy Spirit my prayers can feel lame and uninspired. More than a wish list or a listing of our perceived needs, our prayers could be described as a little dance with the Spirit. We lead, sometimes we follow. Sometimes we just step on toes, other times we find magic.
Saturday:
John 15:26-27; 164b-15 Going Deeper
Read this passage over three times, and it will begin to offer some deep insights into your personal experience. I find this passage to be helpful and hopeful, not punitive.
We must choose sides in life. Strange as it seems God allows us to choose, even though God has already chosen us. I always enjoy keeping verse 27 close to my heart. What a nice promise to ponder.
Sunday: Reflect and Worship
Scripture: John 15:26-27; 164b-15
Sermon Title: “Choosing Sides”
