STUDY TOGETHER: THE BOOK OF LUKE
We are so excited to have you join us in this 10 week study through the Gospel of Luke. We believe that as you immerse yourselves in the scriptures, God is going to pour out his revelation over you and your families. This Starter Kit is designed to help you get the most out of this study. Take a couple minutes to scroll through some of the resources below and may God give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation through this season.
Pray these two vital prayers before you open your Bible:
Humility – “Lord, I humbly acknowledge my complete dependence on your Holy Spirit to help me understand and apply Your Word. I humbly submit to Your Word, even the parts that challenge my traditions and presuppositions. I entrust myself to Your empowering grace to mold me into Your image as I renew my mind with Your Truth. Amen!”
Honor – “Lord, may I truly honor, treasure, value, and obey Your Word. May I not treat Your word as just another book, but as the divine revelation that I desperately need to love You and obey You in all things. Amen!”
