Jesus' Ministry

Today let's read Luke 5:12-26.

I've got a question for you to ponder, and ask God about... Why did Jesus heal and cast out demons? It was obviously a major part of His ministry, and we've now read about 5 different stories of healing and spiritual freedom. Look closely at each one and pray that God will show you why He performed those miracles.

Left Everything...

Today we'll read chapter 5:1-11. You'll discover how Jesus called his first disciples. I love this story. I actually did a post on it a few months ago, but God's Word is deep. Please share with us the other things God reveals to you.

Jesus Heals

Today's passage is Luke 4:38-44.

Please forgive me for not keeping up with the posting... I'm just struggling a little bit lately. I promise to do better from now on, with your help and prayers! Thanks for staying loyal, even when I haven't set a good example.

Pray for God to teach us more about how Jesus can and does minister to our needs...

Authority

Today's reading is Luke 4:31-37. What does the Holy Spirit want to teach you? Ask Him.

Keep adding your comments to past posts... don't feel the need to skip any. What's great about this format is you can go at your own pace, if needed. But hopefully the more you read, the more you'll be hungry for His word every day!

The Truth Hurts

Love hearing your thoughts! Hope you all are finding great power in your heart-felt searches of the scripture...

Today's reading is Luke 4:14-30. Pray for wisdom.

I apologize for not posting this yesterday. But maybe you didn't wait for me and have already read through it. And now is your chance to leave your comments!

Jesus Gets Tempted

I'm going to try something different this week... I'd like us to read a passage each day, and then post ANY thoughts or questions you have regarding that particular reading. If you don't get to it today, that's fine, but just post comments when you do read it.

I guess I'm just hungry to hear what God is telling all of you through these scriptures. Don't worry, I'll be posting my own comments too.

So today, read Luke 4:1-13. But first pray that God will reveal His wisdom to you, and then meditate on what you've read. I'm looking forward to what He will show us!

More About the Fruit

I thought of another question yesterday that I thought would be good to discuss...

John specifically described an important quality of the fruit: the fruit was "in keeping with repentance."

What does that mean to you?


ps. In the last post, Tracy asked about the verse where he talks about cutting down the trees that don't produce fruit. Do you think it is similar to this passage in Matthew?

I think it all ties into a faith that is living and producing fruit... but I suppose the question is, who are the trees being cut down, or the goats? Are they believers that aren't producing fruit? Is there even such a thing? Can there be a faith without works? Is that an important question?

Phew, lots of question marks there...
