New Testament 2023 Newsletter #25
Luke 22; John 18
Not My Will, but Thine, Be Done
(June 12-18)
 
 
A note from Emily & David
Sometimes when we study the last week of the life of Jesus we focus on the events.  We often call this last week, Holy Week.  The events of this week are moments you would be familiar with:  The Last Supper, Gethsemane, The Trial.  We want to take a different approach.  This week we will be studying some of the people who were there at those events.  We are going to ask ourselves one question for each of these people:  In critical moments how did they respond?
 
  Here are the segments you can look forward to:
 
 
THE ANGEL STRENGTHENS
 
JUDAS BETRAYS
 
MALCHUS WONDERS
 
PILATE COMPROMISES
 
PETER BECOMES CONVERTED
 
 
We are so excited to spend this year learning with you!
With love,
David and Emily

Don't Miss This in the New Testament
Come Follow Me 2023 Study Tools
Maybe you know this about us by now, but we are both visual, hands on learners.  Because of that, we are always trying to discover study tools that will help bring the scriptures to life in your home.  We will be using several different study tools this year, here is what we love most about each of them:

Videos:
For the New Testament we will be recording all new hour long videos, but this year they will be broken into ten minute segments in case you want to watch them for ten minutes every weekday, or you can watch them all at once.  These videos are totally free and can be found on YouTube or on our APP.

Journal:
The journals for the next four years have been totally redesigned with a theme in mind.  You will find questions to ponder daily that can be used for teaching or family discussions.  There are workbook pages based off of our most favorite part of each lesson that week.  You can also use these workbook pages for lessons or discussion.  There will also be a space for recording one name of Jesus Christ each week.

Devotional Book:
Perfect for a 5-10 minute lesson, these books can be used as a devotional every day.  This book is designed for personal study or family study.  We love to use ours around the dinner or breakfast table.

Word a Week Posters:
Perfect for a three minute study, these posters include one word and one verse a week for pondering.  Hang them somewhere in your home where they will be a daily reminder of Come, Follow Me.  This year we will be studying one name of Jesus Christ found in that week’s lesson.  By the end of the year we will have come up with 52 names.

Tip Ins:
These are small papers that can be glued right in your scriptures with tips and truths that will help to improve your study.

Stickers:
Use these colorful stickers in the margins of your Scriptures or in your Don’t Miss This Daily study journal.

Hopefully these tools will make your scripture study something you look forward to!
