Remember back on day 4 we read that Jesus was telling Peter that he was going to deny him. But Peter was sure that would never happen. Today we're going to be walking through the reality of what Jesus said would happen. Peter is going to deny Jesus. Not once, not twice, but three times. Read: Luke 22:54-62 Notes: Peter cared enough about Jesus to be concerne[...]
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[...]

Read: Luke 22:24-34 Note[...]
Day three brings us to the Last Supper. We've all seen the painting and that's probably how we each have it stored in our minds, even though that probably doesn't depict the scene correctly. If we think of a normal dinner among friends, no one is all on one side of the table. Jesus was reclining and I'd like to think he was just chilling with his friends before he had to[...]
Passover comes and there is no coincidence that a lamb was to be slain. Just as the Lamb of God was about to shed blood to save us all. 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.
