Audio readings: Psalm 42:7-11 Luke 12:1-34 Deuteronomy 9, Deuteronomy 10 LUKE 12 If Luke 11 was about Jesus training his disciples in prayer, then today’s is about ‘Fear’! “Fear Him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell.

Audio readings: Psalm 42:1-6 Luke 11:33-54 Deuteronomy 6, Deuteronomy 7, Deuteronomy 8 DEUTERONOMY 5, 6 and 7 Growing up in a God-fearing, Bible-believing home does have its drawbacks.

Audio readings: Proverbs 8:32-36 Luke 11:5-32 Deuteronomy 4:15-49, Deuteronomy 5 LUKE 11 In my opinion, this is not really the “Lord’s Prayer” (that one is found in John 17). This would better be titled “The Disciples’ Prayer”, as it was designed by Jesus for his disciples. An almost identical version is found in Matthew 6:9-13, as part…
