Disciples
SABBATH AFTERNOONRead for This Week's Study:
| Matt. 8:19-22; 19:16-26; Mark 10:17-23; Luke 4:16-30; 18:18-30; John 3:1-21. |
Memory Text:
| | "Another said, 'I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.' Jesus said to him, 'No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.'" (Luke 9:61, 62, RSV). |
| Life comes filled with mysteries at every level. From the workings of subatomic particles, to the very nature of space and time themselves, there is so much we do not even begin to understand. Probably, though, of all things mysterious and hard to fathom, nothing is more so than the workings of the human heart. People, in an instant, for reasons that seem so unknowable (perhaps even to themselves), make decisions that can impact their lives in a dramatic way, for good or bad, for all eternity. No wonder that Scripture, when talking about the heart, says, "Who can know it?" (Jer. 17:9). This week we will look at some would-be disciples, and the decision of their hearts. |
This Week at a Glance:
| | What do the Gospels say about would-be disciples? What lessons may we learn from their experiences that can inform our discipleship, strengthen our faith, and deepen our commitment? |
