VISION

...........................................................................

[ Begin with sharing for one or two minutes the purpose behind discipleship. You can do this by answering the question, "What is discipleship and why do we do it?", by sharing a Scripture about discipleship (such as Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:2, etc.), or asking them to share in their own words why they think discipleship is important ]

FELLOWSHIP

...........................................................................

1) What is a high and a low in your life since the last time we met?

2) What is something God has been highlighting to you since the last time we met?

3) How did it go applying your obedience step from the last time we met?

4) Is there any sin you need to bring to the light so that God can bring healing in that area?

LUKE 23:32-56

...........................................................................

32 Now two others, who were criminals, were also being led away to be put to death with Him.

The Crucifixion

33 And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

34 But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves.

35 And the people stood by, watching. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.”

36 The soldiers also ridiculed Him, coming up to Him, offering Him sour wine,

37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!”

38 Now there was also an inscription above Him, “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

39 One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”

40 But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our crimes; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”

42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until the ninth hour,

45 because the sun stopped shining; and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He died.

47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, “This Man was in fact innocent.”

48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, beating their chests.

49 And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried

50 And a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council, a good and righteous man

51 (he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God—

52 this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain.

54 It was a preparation day, and a Sabbath was about to begin.

55 Now the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

56 And then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.

And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
