How is salvation gained?  Through Faith (given by God) in response to the Grace extended by God.  If we know we have truly believed and received (embraced) the Son, then we can know we have eternal life.  1 John 5:11-13. 

Today we discuss God's power and knowledge and wisdom.

If we are going to help new young believers to grow, there is a body of key knowledge they need to possess in their heads and hearts, and key practices they need to learn to apply.  Today, we consider helping a young Christian with Bible study, but more importantly, for us and them to get to know the Character of God, particularly His compassion.  

Luke writes in such a way to convince his readers of the authenticity of Christ's resurrection.  If he is raised, then we need to surrender and obey and be the sequel of His message to the world.

What happened after Easter?  Jesus gave many convincing proofs that He is alive.  He also set a disciplemaking example for us as He opened the Scriptures "along the way."

Today, we contemplate from the Book of Luke the events of Crucifixion Friday and pause in reflection and remembrance. 

On the Thursday prior to His crucifixion, Jesus will spend most of the day with His disciples.  He will institute the Lord's supper as a new meaning of the Passover. He will give His great upper room teaching (Upper Room Discourse - see John 13-17), and will ultimately be betrayed into the hands of those who will crucify Him.  What lessons do we learn? How can we draw near to Jesus as we contemplate Holy Week?

Jesus taught in the Temple area all day Tuesday, and it was on Wednesday that Judas would agree to betray Jesus.  What lessons do we learn?

Luke and the other synoptic Gospels capture Jesus' Holy Fury at the money changers.  Today's events take place Monday before Good Friday. What can we learn?

Today, we will look at Jesus' journey back to Bethany, then over the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem.  What was on his heart?  What was in his mind? How does this instruct and impact us?
