This year at Firm Family we're reading the Gospel of Luke together. That means you too!
Reading the Bible isn't just about getting through the words. It's about discovering what God is saying. You do that in three steps:
Read carefully. What's happening? Who's there? What words keep showing up?
Why did Jesus say or do that? What was He teaching the people around Him?
How does this change the way you think, feel, or act this week?
Think of it like an Easter egg hunt. The treasure is hidden in the words. You have to look carefully to find it. When you do, it's so worth it!
Different weeks are different. Pick the one that works for you. All of them count!
Grab a pencil or some colored pencils and mark right in your Bible or on a printed copy of the passage. Here's what to look for:
Any time you see God, Father, Jesus, Christ, or Holy Spirit -- draw a triangle!
Circle words that show up more than once. If a word keeps coming back, it's probably important!
When two things are being compared or are opposites, draw an arrow between them.
Put brackets around a section and write a title above it in your own words. What is this part about?
Each Sunday we study one part of Luke. Read it before you come and discover a treasure!
