Holy Week Devotions

Let’s look at Matthew this week as we look at this special week for all Christians.  I encourage you to get your Bibles and dig into these scriptures before the day gets away from you.  This Holy week can get lost in the running from here and there even in all our good intentions of church “busyness”.  Take time this morning and every day this week to observe the Holy.  Let’s take a look back on yesterday, where this week started.

Palm Sunday- Jesus enters fulfilling the scriptures.  

• Dig into the Word Matthew 21:1-11

• Make a list of praises/blessings in your life.
