Lent Study 2015<\/strong> “The God of Life<\/a>” by Bishop John Harrower<\/p>\n

God is the God of Life. It is no accident that the great \u201cI Am\u201d sayings of Jesus include the very staples of living: bread and water. And it is not an idle thing that we are invited at Holy Communion to feed on Christ spiritually, in our hearts, by faith with thanksgiving. God desires us to live Christlike lives.<\/p>\n

Lent has traditionally been a special season in the growth and development of a Christian\u2019s life. Through looking carefully into our outer and inner lives, with reflection and repentance, we find renewal.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit takes our prayers, thoughts, questions and study time, and shapes our lives to deeper discipleship.<\/p>\n

A special focus on God\u2019s work in us that enables us to experience life in its fullness is explored in each of these five studies:<\/p>\n

Study One:<\/strong> Creator of Life
\nStudy Two:<\/strong> Promiser of Life
\nStudy Three:<\/strong> Sustainer of Life
\nStudy Four:<\/strong> Rescuer of Life
\nStudy Five:<\/strong> Renewer of Life
\nStudy Six<\/strong> (Holy week) \u2018Ruler of Life\u2019 is published on the web site.<\/p>\n

\"\"May these Lenten studies be to you a life-changing event through the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

\u2018God of Life\u2019 is a five part study (plus study 6 on the web) of the readings and Psalms for the Eucharist based on the readings for Year B.<\/p>\n
