Climbing Higher~1 st Sunday of Lent

Gen. 9:8-17:  After the flood, God promises mankind and all the creatures that was saved on the ark, that he will not flood the whole earth again. He made the rainbow to remind him & all of us of that promise every time it rains. 

Ps. 25:1-10: Asking God to forgive our sins, then praising Him for doing so.

1 Pet. 3:18-22: Jesus suffered death for us to bring us back to God. Then Jesus went to preach to those who had died before he went to the cross giving them a chance to receive him. We can see how patient God can be when we look at how God waited to save the few good men during the time that Noah and his sons built the ark. Just as God washed the sin from the earth in the flood. Baptism shows how God washes us from sin when we ask him for forgiveness & follow him. 

Mark 1:9-15:Jesus being tempted of the devil right after being baptized. He show that we can use the Word of God to fight Satan. 

Challenge of the week:

Go to God asking him to forgive your sins. Then praise him for being patient with you  until you came to him to be cleanse of your sins. Lastly, go and tell others what God has done for you.
