LADIES OF WOW!: Note!

Our JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM BEGINS TUES JAN 18, Uptown 243
Chapter 18, Gospel of Luke
"Lessons from the Pharisee & the Publican"
7-9 p.m. Bring a Friend!

From now on, class meets Mondays in 243...


For advance Prep on this passage, do the following.

1. Read the Gospel of Luke in one sitting Chapters 1-18 (more if you can!) with a pen and pad at hand, and noting repeated themes you observe throughout.
2. Now read Chapter 18 slowly and look for any natural divisions or "groupings." For example, how are v. 1-8, v. 9-14, a nd v. 15-17 all connected?

3. How are passages 15-17 and 18-30 "opposite?"
4. Vs. 31-34 represent a repeating theme in the book of the COST of discipleship! Go back a couple of chapters until you find at least two other instances of this theme...
5. Do you think the parable we will focus on (v. 9-14) is CHIEFLY about prayer, or also about something else? what is it?
6. How, specifically, is the early part of Chapter 19 connected to the teachings in Chapter 18? (more than one way)....
7. Divide chapter 18 into "Sections" and name each one.


SEE YOU TUESDAY LADIES; God Bless You
