Opening Prayer: Almighty God, I am excited to see where you will lead me. I want to follow Your direction in my life. Amen.

Read: Hebrews 6
Reflect: What does it mean to be made partakers of the Holy Spirit? How does partaking of the Holy Spirit make a person like ground that is rained on and produces vegetation? How does God’s justice come about according to the author (vv. 10-12)?

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Hymn: “O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee”
O Master, let me walk with Tee
In lowly paths of service free.
Tell me Thy secret; help me pear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love.
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience! Still with Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;

In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.

Closing Prayer: Lord, You have called me to Your service. Guide me in my attempts to serve You this week. Amen.

Opening Prayer: Almighty God, I am excited to see where you will lead me. I want to follow Your direction in my life. Amen.

Read: Hebrews 5
Reflect: What is the author speaking about when he refers to the solid food for the mature? Why do you think there is teaching about Jesus that is not simple “milk” that everyone could ingest? How does Jesus’ priesthood change our relationship with God?

Read: John 4:1-42
Reflect: What important information does Jesus communicate with the Samaritan woman? Why doe Jesus tell this woman so much? What does it mean to worship God in Spirit and truth?

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Hymn: “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”
Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, help me stand,
I am tired, I am week, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light.
Take my hand, precious Lord; lead me home.

When my way grows drear,
Precious Lord, linger near-
When my life is almost gone.
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall.
Take my hand, precious Lord; lead me home.

When darkness appears
And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand;
Guide my feet, hold my hand.
Take my hand, precious Lord; lead me home.

Closing Prayer: Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).

Opening Prayer: Almighty God, You have spoken through Your Word about the peace I can have by simply following You. Remind me this week of the peace You offer. Amen.

Read: Luke 22:7-27
Reflect: What is given as the confirmation of the New Covenant? Why does Jesus talk about serving each other right after giving the disciples the cup?

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Read: Job 21
Reflect: In this chapter Job expresses his frustration at the empty clichés people sometime use to explain why the righteous suffer. What evidence does Job give that the wicked go unpunished? Is Job right? Why does God allow these things to happen?
