Lent-Walking in His Footsteps

Readings for this week, beginning on Wednesday, February 13, Ash Wednesday:Mark chapter 1:1-28; Psalm 2:7; . This chapter in Mark is about Jesus' baptism and the 40 days in the desert with three temptations. Think about Moses and David and John the Baptist who spent much time in the wilderness. We think about how during our times in the wilderness of life, God uses this time to strengthen us and sanctify us.
An excellent book to read during this Lenten season is Adam Hamilton's book, The Way-Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus. Also, our children will be experiencing this study on their Prayer Walk during Fun Fest Survivor Night-Pre-Prayed for Lent which is happening in March.
