This devotional has been written by different voices expressing the same heart cry of transformation. The writers, artists, and musicians have put together a tapestry of invitations to draw closer to our Good Shepherd and to further reflect His glory.
Here’s some helpful context for each day of the study.
Sunday: The devotionals for Sundays were written in first person narrative. Our hope here is to be reminded of the reality of the story, both the rawness and the beauty, as people were drawn to Jesus.
Monday: Every Monday we’ll read and reflect on a Psalm allowing God’s Word to wash us anew, giving direction and strength.
Tuesday: An artistic rendering will be primary on Tuesdays. As Makoto Fujimura says, “Art is an inherently hopeful act, an act that echoes the creativity of the Creator.” Enter into this hopeful act and reflect on this expression of God’s beauty.
Wednesday: Our devotionals for Wednesdays will have both narrative, reflection, and encouragement. The movement of the Spirit is evident as we follow Jesus kneeling, blessing, seeing, knowing, and loving the lost and lonely, welcoming each one home.
Thursday: Testimonies from people in our Faith Family will be our Thursday theme. Hear how God is at work in the lives of our brothers and sisters.
Friday: Each Friday will be a devotional led through music. The lyrics to specific songs are included in Friday’s devotional, and the following URL link will pull up a Spotify playlist of all the songs specifically curated for this Lenten season. Sanctuary Lent 2023 Spotify Playlist
Saturday: Our elders have contributed a devotional reflection for each Saturday. Here, you’ll see Jesus at work along the margins and in the midst of religious leaders. You’ll hear the invitation to come rest in Him.
