| Discipleship Under Pressure |  |
Read for This Week's Study:
Memory Text:
| | "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the flooding of the Jordan?" (Jeremiah 12:5, NKJV). |
| | Ever hear of Murphy's law? It is considered by some to be one of the fundamental laws of nature, as pervasive as gravity and electromagnetism. Stated briefly, it reads: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. We have all had moments, even days (or longer), that seem to follow Murphy's law. Sometimes our experiences as disciples seem to follow it, as well. No doubt, we have the promises of God that should help us not to get discouraged, but how easy it is sometimes, even with the promises, to be tempted to give up in despair. Of course, no matter what, we never should. This week we will look at some disciples and see what we can learn from their bad days. |
This Week at a Glance:
| | What warning should we take away from the disciples' bid for political power? What lessons does Judas have for us? What was behind James' and John's willingness to destroy those who rejected Jesus? What can we take away from Peter's rashness and repentance? Why, after having seen so much, did all the disciples forsake Jesus in the hour of His great need? |
