Read chapter 9 of Luke with me! :) This is a full chapter! I find it so interesting to look at the questions the disciples didn't ask -- and the ones they did. What do you notice that you hadn't seen before?

Read chapter 8 of Luke with me! :) The parable of the sower is one of my favorites -- because I think one reason Jesus told it is so we can pay attention to the condition of our hearts and affect change when we need to! Get those rocks out of there, pull the weeds, till up the hardness. We can choose to keep (or get) our hearts soft, accept the Truth, and grow our roots deep (into His Word) so we can bear fruit!

Read chapter 7 of Luke with me! :) I love that Jesus responds to John's question -- which might have even been doubt on some level -- with evidence, not scolding. God allows questions, and He always provides evidence before asking us to believe. Faith isn't blind, and never has been! What do you notice in this chapter?

Read chapter 6 of Luke with me! :) SO many interesting topics in this chapter -- the Sabbath (and the Pharisees' concept of what should happen on the Sabbath);; the choosing of a traitor as one of the Twelve; comfort to the poor and warnings to the rich; love and mercy toward enemies; Jesus' teachings about judging wrongly, the fruit we bear, the words we say, and our obedience. What do you notice?

Life is really hard sometimes. Bad, even. Psalm 107 and Isaiah 55 tell us about God's promises -- but sometimes we don't see rescue or feel satisfaction. What do we do with that? Thankfully, God hasn't left us to figure that out on our own. Let's look at 2 Corinthians 4 to learn how to resolve that (apparent) dissonance.

00:00 What about when we don't see God fulfilling His promises?

02:57 Main passage: 2 Corinthians 4: 16-5: 1

4:24 Context! 1 Corinthians 4 -- treasure in jars of clay

7:32 What are Paul's "light momentary afflictions"?

11:28 How I learned what verse 13 is talking about

17:18 What is our hope rooted in?

19:48 More of Paul's "light momentary afflictions"

20:41 Utterly burdened beyond our strength (2 Cor 1: 8-10)

22:13 Afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments... (2 Cor 6: 4-10)

25:19 God's strength through weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, calamities (2 Cor 12: 9-10)

29:40 Prison, beatings, shipwreck, danger, lack of sleep, hunger, cold, anxiety...and more (2 Cor 11: 23-30)

31:32 Here's how we have hope anyway (Back to 2 Cor 4: 16 - 5: 1)
