Spotlighting Students and Volunteers A Bible Course Map for the Upcoming Week

I would like to thank the Stuart family for Monday: (Woman at the Well - Jn. 4:1-42) On His way to

son had been healed, and as he headed home, he received
word from his servants his son had indeed been healed the
very hour he spoke with Jesus! The nobleman believed
Jesus is the Son of God, and we should too!
Wednesday: (Jesus in the Synagogue - Lk. 4:14-32) Jesus
went to the synagogue every Sabbath to meet with other
people and to hear the reading of Scripture. On one
particular Sabbath, Jesus read and explained the Scrip-
ture to the people. He said He was God. Though we
don’t worship in synagogues, we should go to church to
worship with others and learn more about God. We aren’t
saved by attending church every week, but we do grow as
we learn more about the Lord.
Thursday: Review of previous lessons.
Friday: (Blind Bartimaeus - Mk. 10:46-52; Lk. 18:35-43) Barti-
maeus was a blind beggar who lived outside of Jericho.
One day, Bartimaeus heard Jesus was coming, and when
he heard the Savior was passing by him, he called out to
Jesus. Though mocked by those around him, Bartimaeus
Nehemiah 8:10
asks the Lord to give him sight, and Jesus saw his faith
“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.” and healed him. Then, Bartimaeus followed Jesus. Like
Bartimaeus, we can be changed and can share what God
has done for us!
