Our Daily Bread – This week at ELC

August 27, 2016 by john

BreadIt is fitting that Jesus’  prayer uses bread to represent the needs of humanity. Food is one of the few universal human needs, which offers humanity opportunities daily to connect with one another over a meal.  Do we receive, and share, our daily bread with thankful hearts?

Worship this week: 

Saturday – 5:00 p.m. in the chapel

Sunday – 8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship

10:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship

Devotions for this week:

Give Us Each Day Our Daily Bread                       August 27-28, 2016

SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding:

Sunday, Luke 11:2-4, Give Us Each Day Our Daily Bread

Monday, Exodus 16:1-36, Bread from Heaven

Tuesday, Deuteronomy 8:1-20, A Warning Not to Forget God

Wednesday, 1 Samuel 21:1-9, David and the Holy Bread

Thursday, Matthew 4:1-11, The Temptation of Jesus

Friday, Matthew 14:13-21, Feeding the Five Thousand

Saturday, Luke 24:13-25, The Walk of Emmaus

TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

[Jesus said,] “Give us each day our daily bread.” Luke 2:3

  • What is the importance of bread in each of these stories?
  • What does it mean to receive “daily bread” from God? Other than bread, what are some things you cannot live without?
  • Tell a story of a time you were hungry.
  • Bake a loaf of bread from scratch. Look up a recipe online or use an old family. Take note of how long it takes, of how patience and persistence are required. Enjoy the time to use your hands and let your mind wander – meditate or pray as you bake. Share your bread with your family, friends, or even strangers.

PRAY:  Provider of all, you have given all that is needed for life. Give us wisdom to choose what is good, and to share our abundance, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

BLESS:  May God provide you with bread each and every day. Amen.
