Alright Ladies. Our new goal is to discuss the chapter as we study it. So, this week we will be studying Luke Chapter 20. I look forward to reading what the Lord is teaching all of you as you study through this chapter.
It was brought to my attention, and I totally agree, that we should be discussing as we study. So, this week we are studying Luke Chapter 19. I don’t want to miss discussing it together on this blog. So, Today and Tuesday I wanted to open the conversation about Chapter 19, and then on Wednesday we will open the conversation about chapter 20 so that we can begin discuss as we work thorough our study.
In Chapter 19, Jesus has finally made it to Jerusalem. The last several chapters have made a point of noting that Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, and now He is finally here. The King has entered the city. The people rejoice. What happens next is rich with lessons for all of us, and I am anxious to hear what the Lord has been teaching all you Ladies from this section.
We do hope that all of you can join us on Tuesday morning from 9:30 -11:30am. We cherish your presence and your input. However, we know that for some it’s just not possible for you to be with us in person, but we know that you are with us in spirit.
This is the summery of what we studied Tuesday morning, September 29th. We were reminded of the value of persistence in prayer. We saw the faulty of exalting yourself to God, and the wisdom of maintaining a humble heart before God. Jesus welcomed children and a blind man even though the apostles or the crowds were trying to prevent them from coming to Jesus. And, Jesus got to the heart of the rich young ruler who valued his earthly riches more than the promise of eternal riches. Luke 18 is a treasure of instruction and encouragement. I hope that this blog will give all us ladies the opportunity to continue to converse about what the Lord has taught us in Luke 18. Please post your thoughts, ask questions, respond, etc… I hope that this can be an interactive time for all our ladies. Blessings.
Welcome Ladies of NCCF!
We are currently studying the book of Luke every Tuesday morning 9:30-11:30.
We use Elizabeth George’s study guide for Luke, Living with Passion and Purpose.
This Tuesday, September 29th, we will be studying Chapter 18.
I hope you can join us, and if you cannot…come here to this blog and join our discussion.
Last week we enjoyed studying Luke 17.
The chapter took us into a discussion on Forgiveness.
We found it interesting to note that Jesus first directed his disciples to
Look to themselves, to consider their own sin.
He encouraged them to be prepared to rebuke a brother who is in sin,
but most importantly, He reminded them that we need to forgive our brother as often as he repents…without limit.
We agreed that these instructions certainly apply to us, disciples of Christ in this generation.
What has the Lord shown you in your studies of Luke 17?
