Tempted in the Wilderness - Reflections 2-14-16

Texts for Sunday February 14
First Sunday in Lent


Deuteronomy 26:1-11 
Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16
Romans 10:8b-13
Luke 4:1-13

Note: I used all my time getting ready for Ash Wednesday then for the funeral of my partner in ministry, Robert Dotzel so no reflections. I share below the steps of a method called “African Bible Study” for you to use in your own reflections on Luke 4:1-13.

1) Read the passage aloud….you can just do that in your mind but it really does sound differently.  What word or phrase seems most significant or meaningful for you, and why?

2) Read the passage a second time. How does this passage speak to your life now, and why? 

3) Read the passage a third time What will you change or do this week in response to this passage, and why?
