1MB: May 4

I know it's May 5, but we're just going to focus on May 4, because it was Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you). If you don't get that reference, don't dwell on it too much.

1. Do you think the laws from Exodus and Leviticus (the first two passages) are fair? Why/why not?
2. Do you think what Jesus says in Matthew is fair (third passage)? Why/why not?
3. Why would Jesus seem to change what was written in the Old Testament for His followers? What good would it have done?

1MB: May 2 & 3

This is the beginning of the Law that is recorded in the Old Testament. Understanding this will actually help us to understand Jesus and how He fulfills the Law.

1. From May 2: Holy cow, those seem like extreme measures. Why do you think God was so extreme in what He said about this subject?
2. From May 3: Why did God command people to pay back more than they took?
3. From May 3: Read Matthew 5:23-24 (yes, actually look it up and read it). Why would Jesus command that? Why would you suspend your worship to God in that way?

1MB: May 1

We're just about 1.5 months away from The Jerusalem Project! I'm so excited about what God has already been doing and what He is going to do. We've been off for a bit with the devos, but we're getting back on it.

Remember, read the devo from the One Minute Bible, then answer these questions below. If you are behind, make sure to go through and catch up with the other devos.

1. From the first passage, why would God command the Israelites to constantly talk and think about the "words" He was giving them?
2. From the second passage, why would Jesus add the second command when the man only asked for the one greatest command?
3. How would you describe the love that is commanded towards God and the love commanded towards others (your neighbor)? What does love look like towards God and towards others?

Sorry if that third question seems odd. Couldn't think of how to ask it better.

1MB: March 11 & 12

Read from the One Minute Bible: March 11 & 12. Watch this video (7 minutes):

1. How can focusing on the verses from March 12 help us in our pursuit of joy?

Watch this video (I know how this works...you will watch just enough to be able to answer the questions. But seriously watch this video. It was been a game changer for me):

1. How would you describe joy from this video?
2. What kinds of things stick out you to from this video?

1 MB: March 9 & 10

Make sure to read both days out of the One Minute Bible (March 9 &10).

1. In what ways does God display His love for us?
2. How can we show love for others around us? Be specific. Is there any specific way that you can display God's love for someone in your circle of influence (people around you)?
3. Read the last passage on March 10. How does this verse bring comfort and hope to you?

1 MB: March 8

1. From the first passage, which of the fruits (actions) of the Spirit do you need to work on the most?
2. From the second passage, how can we discern what is pleasing to the Lord?
3. What do you think the third passage on this page means?

1MB: March 7

In the right margin of the page in the One Minute Bible: March 7 there is a question. Write down your three responses to that question.
