Spiritual Practice
A spiritual practice is something we can do to help us live in and enjoy God’s grace. We hope these will become a regular part of your life, so that walking and talking with God is the most natural thing you do.
Consider watching the movie The Passion of the Christ by yourself or with your group this week. Find a quiet space and read Mark 15:21-47. Reflect on Jesus’ death and His unfailing love for you.
Memory Verse
