February 6-8 - readings for Feb 8-10

Feb 8: Gen 41; Mk 11; Job 7; Ro 11

Mark 11:24-25 For this reason I tell you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your sins.”


Feb 9: Gen 42; Mk 12; Job 8; Ro 12

Mark 12:12 Now they wanted to arrest him (but they feared the crowd), because they realized that he told this parable against them. So they left him and went away.
Mark 12:17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesarʼs, and to God the things that are Godʼs.” And they were utterly amazed at him.
Mark 12:24 Jesus said to them, “Arenʼt you deceived for this reason, because you donʼt know the scriptures or the power of God?
Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
Mark 12:33-34 And to love him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” Then no one dared any longer to question him.

Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another.
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


Feb 10: Gen 43; Mk 13; Job 9; Ro 13

Romans 13:8-10 Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,” (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Romans 13:14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.
