Walk This Way

Experience & Encounter

These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.

1. God’s Word is God’s Written Word, the Word Made Flesh, and the Proclaimed Word. When you speak God’s Word aloud by faith, you are proclaiming God’s Word by God’s Spirit. These are not magic words, but a powerful practice of God’s presence. Together, we are memorizing 1 John 1:7 through Lent. Take some time to practice proclaiming the Word of God by faith this week. At the end of the week, reflect on how God used that practice in your life.
2. Take some time to pray the Lord’s prayer (Matthew 6:13), specifically “Lead us not into temptation.” You are not praying this prayer to change God’s intention, but to know God. God does not lead us into temptation to leave us there, but God will lead us through temptation to deepen, strengthen, and prove to us our faith.
3. Through Lent, we are encouraging you to walk a route, as you are able, to remember that Christ walks the life of faith with us. Christ walks with you physically just as truly as He walks with us spiritually. If you are not able to walk physically, consider another practice with duration, like listening to a specific song, reading a specific Psalm, or the repeated, slow read of a story from Jesus’ life.

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” 1 JOHN 1:7 NIV
