MONTHLY SYNOPSIS
Every Kingdom has a King, and the King dictates the laws of the Kingdom. Our King shapes reality and created the world that we live in. As we go through this month our mission is to wrap our hearts and minds around the Heavenly Kingdom and the values of our King.
THE BOOK OF LUKE
The book of Luke is the gospel written to the Greek, Hellenistic world. Luke will consistently attempt to shift the worldview of Greek readers from faith in their chaotic, poorly behaved gods to the kingdom of the one true God and faith in the person of Jesus. Luke uses passages like Luke 6:17-49 to flip the Greek readers’ world upside down and see that the true God, Jesus Christ, is not hungry for power or in a battle with other entities, warring for influence over the world. Jesus is the God of service and love, that comes not for his own elevation but to lift up the world and to establish a Kingdom that is ordered and good.
Leaders, please add context for those individuals that may not have read the devotions and answered the reflection questions in the book this past month. The heart behind this time is to connect and encourage! We want to share in this month's victories and lift each other up if there is discouragement.
