Mark 3:8
Many of these followers were looking to see more miracles. But, we must not think that this would be the only reason for people to follow him. Some were genuinely looking for the Messiah. Others were checking out his teaching, hoping that he would help overthrow the Roman empire. Still others were just curious. But, in this mixed group, there were those who would become faithful followers of Christ.
Bible Reading: Romans 3:1-5:21
Scripture Memory: Jude 1:5 “I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, may we never forget your holiness! You are so holy, just, and pure. You have never done the least thing wrong. You have made the good path available to us. We have no excuse for sin. Any attempt to marginalize sin is just a practice in self-justification. Seeing sin for what it is is liberating. We see the way to freedom made possible by the blood of Christ. Only through his worthy sacrifice may we be in your presence. We will fall on our faces and worship before you, oh Father! You are worthy! Let us not quickly forget your mercies and your great grace. May we have them ever before us and be dependent upon your faithfulness. May our lives be found totally in you! We praise you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for revival in Rhea County. Pray for several people who are sick.
