Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
(Hebrews 12:2-3, NIV)
During this Lenten season, I’d like to offer two opportunities for you to study the Scriptures. The first offering is a new onsite (and online) class called “Saturdays in the Scriptures”.
Below is a brief video introduction to the class and a virtual tour of the online learning portal called “eXPlain it”.
Here are the links to the websites mentioned in the video:

“Forty Day Journey with Jesus”
(online Lenten devotional)
This year, the penitential season of Lent begins the last week of February. Starting on Ash Wednesday, February 26th, I’d like to invite you to join me for a 40 day online Lenten journey. Here’s what I’d like to offer.
On each day of the Lenten Journey I’ll post the following:
- a link to a Gospel reading
- a brief meditation
- a prayer and a few questions for reflection
- on the Sundays of Lent, I’ll post something brief so that we can “sabbath”, cease from our work and receive all of the works of Jesus
If you journey forty days with the posted meditations (not counting Sundays), they will lead you through Holy Week and bring you to the cross of Good Friday and the empty tomb on Easter Sunday.
Delivered to Your Inbox
If you have already signed up for updates you’ll receive all of these posts and devotionals directly to your inbox. They should arrive by 5 am (EST) each day and will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 26th.
A sample link to the first meditation is in the button below.
All of the gifts of Jesus to us,
Paul
