This is a small group that was following the plan to read through the Bible one chapter at a time with Good Morning Girls. Good Morning Girls is on an indefinite break. But will we continue reading through the Bible.
Each Monday go to the Weekly Reading Plan or the Bible Study Thread for our current book to see the introductory post for the week and the weekly reading passages, discussion questions, and memory verse.
Be sure to come here each day to see what the members of the group are sharing. Try to participate in the discussion with a post at least once each week to share with us what God is teaching you. Posting on the forum helps motivate all of us to keep reading by seeing the others persevering and it provides additional insight and learning.
Each Friday we will attempt to share a Friday Devotional that addresses some of the topics we have read that week.
Please also take time to read the Group Overview post that provides some ideas on how to get the most out of your study here! You can find this post in the the "Bible Study" section of the board.

Week of March 27
This Week’s Reading Assignment
The group discussion thread is under Bible Study » Luke.
S.O.A.K. any verse of your choosing.
Monday
Reading: Luke 11
Verse of the Day: Luke 11:1
Good Morning Girls: Introduction to the Week
Optional GMG Discussion Question: Learning to pray is of utmost importance! Jesus did not teach his disciples how to preach, but He did teach them how to pray. The prayer in Luke 11, is not meant to be recited as a ritual, but rather as a pattern for our prayer life. After Jesus gave the pattern, He then gave an example of the boldness and persistence He wants us to have in our prayers.
Pause and pray through the Lord’s Prayer today. Then consider, is there something you have given up praying for that you need to boldly and persistently begin praying for again? Write your prayer below.
Tuesday
Reading: Luke 12
Verse of the Day: Luke 12:15
Optional GMG Discussion Question: The world system tells us that success and possessions deserve a high five, but at the end of the parable in Luke 12, God calls the rich man a fool! The only way to conquer a greedy heart is to believe that life does not consist in the abundance of our possessions.
Do you struggle with this? Jesus tells us to “be on guard.” How can you guard and protect yourself from falling into the temptation of desiring an abundance of possessions?
Wednesday
Reading: Luke 13
Verse of the Day: Luke 13:30
Optional GMG Discussion Question: To God, it does not matter what our standing in this world is. Money, titles, status, beauty, lineage and good works are not what God looks at. Salvation is based on Jesus’ grace alone.
Do you, at times, feel jealous of others whose standing in this world is higher than yours? One of the great mysteries of the gospel is how those who are first in this world are last in the next. How does this truth bring you comfort today?
Thursday
Reading: Luke 14
Verse of the Day: Luke 14:11
Optional GMG Discussion Question: Jesus was the ultimate example of one who deserved the highest exaltation but He was humble. True humility does not have too high of an opinion of oneself and is others-centered rather than self-centered.
We are promised that those who humble themselves will one day – in eternity – be exalted. In what area of your life, do you need to work on humility?
Friday
Reading: Luke 15
Verse of the Day: Luke 15:10
Good Morning Girls: Devotional and Video
Optional GMG Discussion Question: The parables in Luke 15 show us that God goes after the lost and heaven celebrates when they are found. Nothing is more precious to us as when it is lost. Think of your car keys – if they are lost – you search until they are found. And when they are found – you rejoice. In the same way, the angels rejoice when a sinner repents.
Who have you recently shared the love of Jesus or the gospel with? If you haven’t had this opportunity, write a prayer for someone who is lost and ask God for boldness.
