Weekly Scripture Reading | November 2017

Weekly Scripture Reading | November 2017 We invite you on a journey of devotional reading in preparation for Sunday morning this year… each week, there are 5 readings listed, which connect to the theme for the upcoming sermon, including the text for the week. • Read one passage a day. • Before you read, take a minute or two to be silent. • Sit in prayer, to quiet your heart and mind. • Ask the Holy Spirit to speak, as you read the passage. • Read the verses at least once, paying attention to what stands out to you. The following questions may help you reflect on what you’ve read: 1) What do the verses tell you about God – Father, Son, Holy Spirit? 2) Think about the original audience; what do the verses say to the first hearers? 3) What word or phrase are you drawn to? 4) Is there some response God is inviting you to? Talk to Jesus about what you read, what you heard.
