Learning to Follow Jesus
Attribute 1: Learn to be with Jesus
Step 3: Learn to be with him as you read scripture
Scripture Memory: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” –Matthew 11:28
Bible Scripture: John 15:7; John 1:1-18; Hebrews 4:12; Luke 24:44

Guidelines for reading:
1) Set a regular time and a place - It should be a quiet and a private place. Jesus said in Matthew 6:6: “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.”
2) Make notes of what you notice and what you think God may be speaking to you as read. Underline or journal what stood out to you.
3) Pray and respond what you read. Maybe something stood out to you. Act upon what you read. Don’t just read it but do it.
4) Remember your focus is on Jesus and not the habit of reading the bible.

Challenge for this week:
