ADULT BIBLE CLASS

Grade 11 + and Adults

Series Topic: FOLLOW ME - The Book of Matthew Part 2

What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ? Matthew's gospel describes how Jesus called His disciples and then molded their minds, hearts, and wills. Jesus prepared His disciples for their work and He prepares us also. The second of a two-part study of the book of Matthew, covers chapters 14 through 28. It presents the account of Jesus' life. The Lord said, "Follow Me" and in doing so he shows how he called and trained his disciples (and us) to proclaim his death and resurrection to the world.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Lord Jesus, no one knows the hour of your return, so keep me always watchful and ready for the Last Day. Lead me daily to repent of my sins and live for you by faithfully serving my neighbor in all my vocations. As the signs of the end continue to intensify, take away my fear and let me lift up my head in joyful confidence, for my redemption is close at hand (Luke 21:28). Wake me from spiritual slumber and apathy so that I no longer indulge the sinful deeds of darkness but clothe myself with you and your armor of light (Romans 13:11-14). Come quickly, dear Jesus. Amen
