Focal Passage: Psalm 22:1-10, 14-15, 19-21; Mark 15:33-39 “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The word “forsaken” can also be translated abandoned or deserted.

Formations Lesson for March 14: A Question of Outrageous Claims
March 3 2010 by DuPre Sanders, pastor, Roxboro Baptist Church
Focal Passage: John 6:41-59 Our text for today thrusts us into the middle of a conversation between Jesus and the people who experienced the miraculous feeding of the 5,000.
