Life Lessons

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ means that we learn from Him, fellowship with Him, and obey everything He commands us.

We study the Bible to learn about who God is, who we are, and what God is doing in our world.

The Bible compels us to join God in what He is doing in and around us.

Studying the Bible is important, but the goal is never knowledge for the sake of knowledge.

When we think of being disciples, what does the Bible point us toward?

(ESV)

42And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

43And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.

44And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

45And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,

47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

We study the Bible to learn about who God is, who we are, and what God is doing in our world.

The Bible compels us to join God in what He is doing in and around us.

Studying the Bible is important, but the goal is never knowledge for the sake of knowledge.

Is it simply salvation?

(ESV)

1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.

3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.

4And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.”

5And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.

6But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

8And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

9And all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

40Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

39And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.

40Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

14And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

15He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him.

16That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.

(ESV)

17This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

38And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf.

39And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.

40Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
