New Testament Bible Study
- A new approach to learning and interacting while we develop our faith...
- Welcome to the online study of the New Testament, sponsored by Faith United Methodist Church in Champaign, Illinois, but open to anyone to participate. The guideline for this is simple - there are 260 chapters in the New Testament, one for every weekday in a calendar year. This page lists a bible chapter to read, and questions to ponder, for each weekday. The books aren't studied in the order they appear in the Bible. You can share your answers or thoughts by commenting to each day's post. To start from the beginning, look for "Mark 1 - August 18" in the Blog Archive below.

I have a wishy washy answer for this one. I can relate to all of them in some way or another. I also wish to have the faith that they had at different times. I feel the unworthiness that the centurion felt when he felt he didn't even deserve to have Jesus come under his roof. I hope that I can show the faith that even though I know I don't deserve what Jesus offers, he can work with authority over my situation. I feel the depravity of my own sins and the unashamed humbleness in front of Jesus like the sinful woman. I hope that I can display a godly sorrow and repentance like her no matter what the public opinion of me is. I also feel the utter despair at times like the widow who felt that everything she had was taken from her and that nothing could be done to help her. But I too hope that I can hope and realize that Jesus does have compassion on my sorrow and can act to bring joy into my life.
