- Bill is traveling to Moscow tomorrow, Sunday February 15, 2015, at the invitation of one of his former SPCU students to launch his "Lenten Journey" devotional program in his church! See Facebook posts!
- He will take the "Sapsan" bullet train to Moscow in the early morning (500 miles in 3:40 hrs. or ave. 136 mph!).
- Please pray before you go to sleep on Saturday night! For at 3am EST, he will preach a message on the deepening meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, launching the church's use of his "Lenten Journey" devotional materials in small groups for the next nine weeks.
- In the afternoon (Moscow time) he will lead a seminar on how to use the Devotional for small group leaders.
- Meanwhile Priscilla and Olivia will be "home alone"as Liam is at a basketball tournament between international Christian schools in Budapest, Hungary!
- Then an evening bullet train brings Bill back to St. Petersburg by midnight, to sleep in his own bed before teaching classes the next day!
A Lenten Journey:
The time before Easter can be just as significant a spiritual preparation time, as Advent is for Christmas! Jesus really rose from the dead! How do we as evangelicals celebrate that? More than simply "giving up something," we want to focus on Jesus' life of love. But that could mean "giving up" extra time or activities in order to focus on Him.
- What did it mean for Jesus to give His life?
- What is the life that Jesus had to give?
- What does it mean to receive Jesus' life?
- How do we "know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings"? (see Phil 3:10).
- How do can you "become like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead?" (see Phil 3:11).
