SUMMER BIBLE READING PLAN
WEEK 9
Hello Trinity Family!

Beck and I have been starting each day—even while on vacation—with our Summer Bible Reading Plan. It’s amazing how this discipline has become a truly delightful experience! If this is true for you as well, tell others about this beautiful journey of spiritual growth, and invite them to join us.

Our reading of Luke’s gospel continues this week with many more parables by which Jesus teaches us the ways of His Kingdom. The theme of stewardship is addressed multiple times in this week’s chapters. I’m blown away by how much Father God trusts us, His kids, that He gives us the keys to His Kingdom and places within our hands what He values most—people. May we be found always faithful to God and compassionately merciful toward others.

Below is this week's daily Bible Reading Plan. Be sure to tag  @trinity_online  or use the  #tcbiblereading  on all your social media accounts so we can encourage one another in our reading. We love following your stories of the power of God’s Word!

- Pastor Jim


Extra Reading:  
In addition to reading one chapter per day from the Gospels, we are encouraging you to also read one chapter of Psalms and one chapter of Proverbs daily. These poetic books of the Bible present great wisdom and inspire readers with greater passion for God. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to turn this daily discipline into a delightful experience!      

Below is this week's daily reading plan:

Weekly Prayer:
Father, in Jesus' Name, I ask that--just like the prodigal--You would help me in the midst of fear and failure to draw near to You again. I willingly receive Your loving embrace, allow You to clothe me in Your likeness and put on me the signet ring of the Kingdom, showing that I am a co-heir with Jesus. I also ask that, just as You have embraced, clothed and marked me with love and inheritance, You would release the graces necessary for their good stewardship. Regardless of the size and quantity of the resource given to me, give me the wisdom to steward and multiply it so that I can be entrusted with more. I recognize that these resources are tools and not the reward, and that as I keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, I will have no problems using the tools given to me. Thank You for Your trust, Amen.
Weekly Memory Verse(s): 

Jesus responded, “What appears humanly impossible is more than possible with God. For God can do what man cannot.” (Luke 18:27 TPT)
The God of passionate love will meet with me. My God will empower me to rise in triumph over my foes. (Psalm 59:10 TPT)
I’m energized every time I enter Your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of Your power and drink in more of Your glory. (Psalm 63:2 TPT)

God’s righteous people will pour themselves out for the poor, but the ungodly make no attempt to understand or help the needy. (Proverbs 29:7 TPT)

Daily Prayer:
Thank You, Father, for the precious gift of Your Word and for sending Your Son, Jesus—the Living Word—to make a way for us to fully live it out. Holy Spirit, I invite Your guidance as I read the Word today. Let these sacred scriptures be opened up to me with greater clarity than ever before. Come fuel the fire of Awakening within me. Ignite greater hunger for fresh encounters in Your presence. Set my heart ablaze with fresh passion for You, God. And let my heart be provoked to love as never before. Let me be moved by compassion for all those in need, as You were, Jesus. I want to become more like You as I behold You through Your Word. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
