Mlk 9:50

Men and women bring individual differences into their marriages. While distinctive traits can have their appeal, they can also become irritants. With the additional stress and pressure of daily life, husbands and wives can become impatient with one another, and that often leads to friction and conflict. Christian couples have an anchor in the storms of life—His name is Jesus. Let's pray and ask Him to help improve the communication in our relationships this week.

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

Do you see interruptions as a tool God uses to mold our hearts and prepare us for His return? Interruptions of vacations, school years, or even date night. As you read through the encounters different people have with Jesus, notice how often He is interrupted. Each time, He responds with compassion and patience. In this study we'll learn to follow His example, looking at each life interruption as an opportunity to share God’s grace with others.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.
