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. In Luke 24:36-49 Jesus appears to the disciples after He has risen from the dead! What proof does He offer them that He is not a ghost, but a real, resurrected person?
2. Jesus tells us that repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations (Luke 24:47). We have faith as a result of this preaching. We are now called to spread the Good News to those who don't know it. As we discussed in the sermon, some people need to repent, some people need to hear of God's hope. How can you know what people need to hear? What steps will you have to take in order to get the right part of the message to the right person?
3. What sins do you hold onto that you need to repent of? What comfort do you find in the Gospel of your forgiveness? What are the effects of sin you suffer with? How can each of these answers help shape the way you share the Gospel?
