Take It With You!
During this series please consider reading through the given texts in Luke daily with your family or on your own. After each sermon, questions will be provided to guide your reading and prayer time. God's blessings in your study!
1. The most important question we can ever ask (and answer!) is, "Who is Jesus?" The answer to this is critical for our life and salvation. A good place to start answering this question is in the Apostle's Creed. CHALLENGE: Read through one gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) and write down every title that is given to Jesus. This will help you understand more clearly who He is!
2. We saw in Luke 7:1-16 that Jesus comes for all people: rich and poor, blessed and stricken, etc. We recognize in the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20) that we are to make disciples of ALL people through baptism and teaching. Who do you know that needs to hear of God's love for them in Christ? What are some ways you can begin to tell them?
3. How does it help you to know that God came for you in Jesus Christ? What comfort is there in the knowledge of God's grace and love that He has poured out upon you?
