DIP Jesus Series - Class 3 DISCIPLESHIP HOMEWORK

Continue with at least 15 minutes of quality time with the Lord each day, but if you are already steady there, go for 20-30 Minutes personal prayer each day!

Read some of the following passages during your prayer time each day. The below are various teachings and miracles of Jesus (obviously all are significant and you should read the whole Gospels, but these will give you a taste of some key points). Don't feel obliged to read all (many of the Gospel passages are the same story, simply as told by the different writers, but they are just there for your reference and choice)--best to read slowly and prayerfully and ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to highlight to you, and write it down.
