Lent Readings

Readings Begin February 18

Daily Lent Readings
 

"He is risen, indeed!" Lent has passed but that doesn't mean the daily readings have to go away. Some of you might be discovering this page for the first time. Others who participated during Lent might find it helpful to revisit a particular reading. For these reasons, we will leave this page up for a while.
 
We pray that you experience the wonder of interacting with our Savior in a personal, transformative way!
 
All the readings are also available via podcast on Apple or Spotify. Click here for more information.

Advent Reading Day 9: December 9

PRAY

Prince of Peace, we pray you will enable us to entrust ourselves to you. Keep our hearts ever stayed on you, that we may live in the peace that passes all understanding. 

Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Philippians 2:5–11

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
