Last week we walked through the beginning scenes of the betrayal and arrest of Jesus. This week we're going through the actual betrayal through Pilate delivering Jesus for crucifixion. We've probably all heard the story but we're going to go a little deeper. We're making sure we have the correct context and timeframe. Read: Luke 22:47-53 Notes: Crowd to come[...]
Finally Friday! What a week it's been. I'm hoping that you're enjoying these scripture studies and the discussions with your kiddos. If you're behind, no worries, you've got two extra days to catch up before we continue on. Have a great weekend! Read: Luke 22:35-46 Notes: Previous ministry work had been easier. Now they will be rejected and without Jesus, it[...]

But before we dive in too much further I want to chat about the context of the Book of Luke. Technically the author is anonymous, but through context clues and other evidence, it's thought to be Luke. He's the detail-oriented apostle who[...]
Welcome to the first full study for Mama Makes Disciples. I am so excited for this. Over the next month we're going to be studying Luke 22-24. Yes, 3 chapters and 25 days. But it's going to be wonderful time spent with the Lord and with our littles. We're all going to be learning together!I would suggest going ahead and reading over the full 3 chapters for yourself. Befor[...]
