Psalms 116:1-19. Verse 15, who has recently died, an exemplar of goodness and faithful disciple of Christ, that I should remember with a grateful prayer today?
I Samuel 3:1-21. What qualities of heart and mind should I be cultivating in myself—with God’s help—that will better equip me to hear from the Holy Spirit? First step today?
Acts 10:34-48. Peter’s baptismal sermon to the centurion’s family and friends. What “pointers for preachers” can I find here? What steps can I take to position myself for this kind of opportunity?
Mark 3:20-30. Do I take Satan as seriously as Jesus did? What’s at stake?
