Lenten Devotional 2020 Lent at Christ Church 2020 Encountering Christ in Our Humanness: Learning from Jesus to Be Fully Human TABLE OF CONTENTS The Daily Devotional Pages 1 The Daily Readings Pages 2 - 34 Contributors Page 34 Lent is that time of the liturgical year when we prepare our hearts for the remembrance of our Lord’s passion and His glorious resurrection. Lenten preparation is traditionally a time to reflect upon our lives, what we have done, and what we have left undone. This year, the Vestry has encouraged our church family to encounter Divine love. This Lenten devotional has been designed to do just that. We encounter God’s love in His humanity, through the finished work of Christ, in His providential care, and in our future hope. The theme for this Lent’s Devotional is: Encountering Christ in Our Humanness: Learning from Jesus to Be Fully Human Week 1 He was one of us. Week 2 He lived in tension between family, friends, and his calling. Week 3 Jesus and the status quo. Week 4 He needed others as we need others. Week 5 He responded to money, sex, and power. Week 6 He was good and angry. Week 7 He gave himself for others as we give ourselves for others. It is my hope that you will find spiritual refreshment in these pages as we live together in a continual encounter with Divine Love through our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace, Fr Terry THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL OPENING PRAYER - FROM PSALM 51 Open my lips, O Lord, * and my mouth shall proclaim Your praise. Create in me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence * and take not Your holy Spirit from me. Give me the joy of Your saving help again * and sustain me with Your bountiful Spirit. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. THE KYRIE Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. THE CONFESSION Most merciful God, We confess that we have sinned against thee in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved thee with our whole heart; We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we earnestly repent. For the sake of Thy Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in Thy will, and walk in Thy ways, to the glory of Thy Name. Amen. READING FOR THE DAY (According to the day beginning on page 4) PRAYER Personal and Family THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. 1 DAILY READINGS Week 1 He was one of us Ash Wednesday, February 26, 2020 Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin. He was temped as we are tempted Every time we say the Lord’s Prayer, we pray “Lead us not into temptation,” then quickly find ourselves confronting consequences of temptation. How can this be? Our God, in His Mercy, has not ‘led us’ to temptation. He has given us free will and we are quite able to wander into temptation on our own, through our own decisions, choices, thoughts, habits, reactions, desires - just to name a few. And there we are, once again, out among the thorns and thistles of this world. We are all sinners, living in a broken world – spring-loaded to the sin position. And, although God alone is capable to “deliver us from evil” when we repent and turn from evil, there are ‘natural consequences’ of those traps of temptation into which we find ourselves. Jesus is our High Priest who fulfilled the Law without sin and experienced temptations far greater than we can imagine. Jesus can not only deliver us from whatever quagmire in which we find ourselves, if we but ask and seek His guidance; He is also able to direct our paths around or through pitfalls, if we but ask and follow His guidance. As Jesus approached Jerusalem for the Passover Feast, He made choices, He made decisions, He had ‘human’ desires. On the cross, in his humanness, He Himself experienced separation from God! Through all, He did not Sin. Through all, He focused on His Father God and prayed “Not my, but YOUR Will be done.” Through Jesus’ example, we can seek His Wisdom through whatever we are facing and pray that He will guide us through, out of, or around difficulties and impediments we encounter, trusting Him to restore the footing on the path He has laid before each of us in His Will. I cannot count the times that I have lost track of His vision for my life, or how many times He has had to reach down and lift me from the trough of pain and discouragement that I slip into. Some time ago, the Holy Spirit allowed me to glimpse the real scenario of what had happened around me and how those events had directed my decisions and choices. Initially, I was surprised at all that He protected me from and realized that I hadn’t experienced the full force of what those events portended. Then I could see how He shaped and directed my disappointments and discouragements into a career that provided encouragement and assistance to others who had suffered catastrophic injuries and diseases. More recently, I have seen how He calls me out of situations and into other situations – sometimes with a nudge, sometimes it takes a 2X4, if I am determined in my own willfulness! Come, Holy Spirit and make Your Presence known even in our everyday, moment-to-moment choices, decisions and desires. Be Present and help us to stay securely on the path that You have set before us, seeking Your will in every step. Even when we stray from that path in our own will, abide with us and guide us back onto the Path. Remind us, Lord, that You 2 sometimes have detours for us – a bump in the road, potholes, even roadblocks when we become complacent. They are not put before us to lead us into temptation, trusting in our own wisdom and will, but are placed there to grab attention and refocus on You and Your Will. Amen ~George Arpin Thursday, February 27, 2020 John 4:3-6 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. He was weary as we are weary The journey from Judea through Samaria to Galilee covers 124 miles. Jesus and the disciples had walked 64 miles in 22hours over 2-3 days to reach Sychar. It had been very hot and dusty. He was tired and the well offered much needed refreshment. Has weariness overcome you? It did Moses during the battle with the Amalekites (Exodus 17:11-13). As long as Moses held up his arms and the staff, the Israelites were victorious. When his arms sagged, the Amalekites were victorious over Joshua’s men. Aaron and Hur held up the arms of Moses until the sun went down, bringing victory to the Israelites; those in prayer and those in battle. We, in our own power, give out, but God’s power is mighty and never ends. In our weakness He is made strong. We’ve heard of the neighbor who superhumanly lifted a car that had fallen on a man working under his car, or a mother who prayed for decades for her son to come to faith and who finally did. Weary, yes! Whether as an intercessor or on our own, we can’t do it all. Our weariness needs help, rest to restore in body and renew in purpose. Trust, Perseverance, Patience. When weariness threatens to overcome, choose to trust in the Lord’s provision. Persevere in that trust and in faith show patience in His timing, not ours. Could you be someone’s Moses? --Helen was mine. Our son went off the rails in high school and after 2 years I wanted a break from the front lines. I had no more words to pray. During our prayer time, I wondered if we should just emancipate him, confessing I wasn’t sure if I even loved him anymore. She declared, “You do love him or we’d not be praying faithfully for him. I don’t want you to pray for him for the next two weeks. I’ll do it for you.” Two weeks of resting in her prayers and restoring my footing renewed my strength. I relied on her arms raised for victory. When we stop to rest, intentionally or not, perhaps that down time is to let into our lives an unexpected blessing.

High Waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.” FOOD FOR THOUGHT It’s easier to face what’s staring right at us than to face what’s lurking around the corner that we don’t see or even expect. Those storms that surprise us without any warning are coming at us until they’ve landed in our world making a complete mess of things. These are the storms we often get pushed down by only to be challenged on how to get up and fight it off. The surprise storms are often the loudest, with the most chaos in them. They are the storms that we don’t understand because they come out of nowhere.

  • Green Dubois Lenten Devotional
    Something to Ponder on the Lenten Journey, A Gift of DuBois Center & Green DuBois A Lenten Devotional written for and dedicated to DuBois Center, the camp and retreat center of the Illinois South Conference of the United Church of Christ and to introduce a new initiative Green DuBois, which celebrates, honors and shares the wonder of the biodiversity of God found in this sacred setting Written by Donald C. Wagner Photographs by Angela Hausmann, Marty Kemper, Scott Kuether, Jason Petry and other DuBois Center Photographers Edited by Jill Baker Foreword ‘Never make a suggestion in a Committee meeting that you are not willing to take on and complete.’ That is the lesson I have learned here . and it is a lesson I have delighted in undertaking. In a small group meeting of those interested in the Green DuBois initiative several months ago, our Chairperson, Dr. Jill Baker, asked for suggestions which might assist in getting the word out about Green DuBois into the churches and the wider world. First suggestions had to do with developing a website, creating a Facebook page, having Green DuBois ambassadors reach out into the churches and communities of our Conference, contacting the Missouri Botanical Garden, the University of Illinois Extension Service and a wide variety of other Master Gardener, bird watcher and botanist groups. In each case, the desire is to promote DuBois Center as a hotbed of year-round biodiversity which, until now, has largely gone unnoticed, undiscovered and undeveloped as a sacred trust. With the perseverance and dedication of Mr. Marty Kemper, whose research, photographs and direction have opened up the biologically diverse treasure chest of DuBois Center to the world, not only has the Green DuBois Committee and the DuBois Staff become keenly aware of the gifts around us in this place, but there is a heartfelt desire to share these wonders with the wider community.

But when married life does not meet his expectations, Jacob leaves home and family to pursue his dreams. The decision shatters Leila, his wife, and Amalia, their daughter. The musical begins with Leila packing boxes. Jacob left a year ago and she is devastated but still trusting that God has a plan (‘Altar’). The story then jumps back in time to the night Jake and Leila meet at a party (She’s/He’s Mine). Jacob is quick to recognize that Leila is special; within a year he proposes and they are married (‘Jericho Road’). Their first year of marriage is not without its challenges (‘Stronger in the Broken Places’), but they soon find out Leila is pregnant, and Jacob’s fears about fatherhood fade when he meets his daughter Amalia (‘Overflowing’).

  • 2017 Devotional December 3
    Pine Street Advent 2017 Devotional December 3 December 3 Joseph the Carpenter Listens to God and Obeys This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:18‐25 Almost everything that took place the first Advent was the work of God. Joseph, a carpenter by trade, was engaged to Mary when they discovered that she was pregnant.

  • 10 Days of Life January 21-30
    10 Days of Life January 21-30 Devotional Guide Hello Grace Church! I am excited about these next 10 days and I wanted to take a moment to share with you the vision for this time of prayer and fasting. The bible tells us in John 10:10 that Jesus came to the earth that we “may have life” and that we “may have it more abundantly.” That is what 10 Days of Life is all about, seeing God move us above and beyond our current point in life… letting God take us to new depths in our walk with Him that will allow us to experience life more abundantly. It is about God leading us in direction for 2013 that will give us new freedoms and victories in our personal lives as well as our life as a church body. We understand that for this to happen, we have to make room in our busy lifestyles for God to speak to us. That is the significance of this time of prayer and fasting. We are creating a time of focus to seek the Lord and let Him lead us to a fresh place of abundance. As you walk through each of the 10 days, I encourage you to visit www.graceweb.tv/life13 to watch a short devotional video specific to each day. I have asked ten of my personal friends to share a message of LIFE to encourage us through this time. As you watch the videos, use the supplemental notes in this devotional guide that go along with each message and take personal notes as God speaks to you.

He Jis a manipulator and a deceiver, and he plays favorites among his children. Still, God meets with him repeated- ly and works out divine purposes in his life. A key moment comes on the night before he meets his brother Esau, years after the two angrily separated. Jacob wrestles all night with a “man” whom he later describes as God. He emerges from the encounter both wounded and blessed, and with a new name: Israel. Wrestling with God is for men who want to get in touch with God inside the struggles of their lives. It contains five articles on the spiritual life and 52 short devotionals based on the stories of biblical men, from Genesis to the letters of Paul. Written prayers and reflection questions make the book handy for personal and group use. Devotional Readings for Men DEVOTIONAL READINGS FOR MEN Introduction by J.
