Week 3 — Oct 20-26: (Luke 3-24, John 1)


Luke Summary:

Luke proclaims the universal Good News: the eternal Son of God becomes Man “to seek and save the lost” (Lk 19:10). From Gabriel’s annunciations and the Virgin Birth at Bethlehem, the Gospel traces Jesus’ line back to Adam, revealing Him as the new Adam who restores every nation. 

John the Baptist calls Israel to repentance, and in Nazareth Jesus proclaims ‘the acceptable year of the LORD’, though the hometown crowd spurns Him. He heals the broken, raises the widow’s son at Nain, teaches the Sermon on the Plain, and gathers humble fishermen while dining with sinners; He also lifts women, Samaritans, and Gentiles into God’s family. Transfiguration shows His divine glory shines, foreshadowing the Cross and Resurrection. 

Through vivid parables: the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and the Lost Sheep, He unveils the Father’s boundless mercy and calls all to repent, believe, and bear the fruits of love. Setting His face toward Jerusalem, He institutes the New Covenant at the Supper. 

In Gethsemane He prays in agony, is betrayed, and Peter denies Him, illustrating human weakness and the need for forgiveness. He offers Himself on the Cross, and on the third day rises, with women disciples first witnessing the empty tomb. He opens the Scriptures to the pair on the road to Emmaus, blesses the disciples at Bethany, and ascends, promising the Spirit who will clothe them with power so that forgiveness of sins may be preached “to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem” (Lk 24:47). 

Thus, Luke charts the Savior’s journey from manger to Ascension, inviting the whole human family into joyful communion with God and pointing forward to the Spirit-filled mission told in Acts.

Key Verses:

Luke 1:37 - “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” - God’s power surpasses all impossibilities. 

Luke 2:11 – “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” – Jesus’ birth fulfills God’s promise of a Redeemer.

Luke 5:32 – “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” – Jesus came to save the lost. 

Luke 19:10 – “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” – Jesus’ mission is to bring salvation.

Luke 24:6-7 – “He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” – The resurrection confirms Jesus’ victory over death.

I have been meaning for a while now to really sit down and read the entire Bible cover to cover. When I was younger, I always had trouble comprehending the King James version (KJV). I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about because that's what we had mostly at the time. After I got older, I purchased some additional Bibles in different translations to see if it would help my comprehension. And so far, I am proud to say it has. I have a prophecy study Bible that is the KJV. What I love the most is that it has detailed descriptions of prophecy throughout the Bible as well as colored charts that help explain timelines of things that are going to happen, particularly in Revelation. I also have an Amplified Bible that has the KJV and the AMP translation side-by-side. The third one I have that I love is The Voice translation. It reads almost like a story book which is wonderful for me. I figured out that if I can read 3 to 4 chapters a day or a total of 23 a week, I sh...

Week 8 — Nov 24-30: (Gen 50, Exo 1-22)

Exodus tells how God frees Israel from slavery and shapes them into a covenant nation. The story begins with a new Pharaoh who fears the growing Hebrews and forces them into harsh labor. God protects baby Moses, who is raised in Pharaoh’s palace yet flees after defending a fellow Hebrew. Years later, at a burning bush in the desert, God sends Moses back to Egypt with a promise of rescue. There He reveals the divine name “I AM.” With his brother Aaron, Moses confronts Pharaoh. Ten escalating plagues show God’s power and expose Egypt’s idols. The final plague, the death of firstborn sons, passes over homes marked by lamb’s blood. Pharaoh finally lets the people go, but soon pursues them. God parts the Red Sea, Israel crosses on dry ground, and the pursuing army is swept away. A pillar of cloud by day and fire by night guides and protects them. In the wilderness God provides water, manna, and quail, teaching trust. At Mount Sinai He meets the people with thunder an...
