So today is Ash Wednesday and Lent has begun. As we begin our study together it is my prayer that we will each bring the stories of our own experiences, traditions and view on the bible to bear as we take this time to do something that i do;nt thik has ever been attempted before on Signposts – to study together in unity; to listen to one another and learn from each other in an environment of mutual respect!
Lent is the period of time in some Christian Churches when we purposefully take time to identify with Jesus in his suffering and in his preparation out in the wilderness – it is also a time when traditionally people gathered to study and prepare for renewing their baptismal vows on Easter Sunday.
I hope we learn new things about each other as we take this journey with together and alongside one another.
Please take some time to reflect on this study to answer the questions yourself and come back to this thread as you go to post your thoughts, answers and questions.
I’m really quite excited by this folks

Reblogged this on Zac's Place Newcastle and commented:
This is a blog post I wrote for another blog I’m a contributor to, but it deals with what we started to look at on Tuesday night. If you’d like to follow the study along with us then follow the link and study away. We will be printing off the studies each week and working through them until Easter
Complete freedom is riding nude on public transport.
Dave…you are indeed an insightful person.
Greg, can’t make tomorrow night – sorry. Work getting in the way of a good natter. Please could you reserve me an info folder and I’ll pick it up next week. The one on freedom was interesting. How free is a slave to Christ?
How free indeed – no problems at all Zeibart.
Cheers
