Take Up and Follow – Teen Devotional: Investigating the Life of Jesus in Luke

Are you willing?

From the angels who appeared to Mary and Joseph, all the way to Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, Luke captured it all. Between these two events, we get a glimpse into what Jesus was like every day with people in the world, such as His followers and even those who sought to take His life. Miracles were performed and lives were changed. Jesus made it known that even the wind and waves obeyed His command. His message was clear: Jesus came to seek and save what was lost. Following Jesus meant giving up everything for Him. The question today is no different than the question was then: Are you willing to give up everything to follow Jesus?

In this 12-volume series of monthly devotionals, students will gain a more thorough understanding of key Old Testament and New Testament books of the Bible. Students will learn to Discover God’s Word, Delight in the Lord, and Display God’s work in their lives.
 
Discover (Identity + Theology): Who is God? Who am I in light of who God is? These are two of the most important questions students can grapple with because in discovering who God is, they learn who He has meant for them to be. Studies within the Discover category will help students align their lives under God’s rule which will give them confidence in who they were created to be.
 
Delight (Spiritual Disciplines): What does it mean to delight in God? What leads to delight in God? Helping students see God in every detail teaches them to delight in Him. When students find their delight in God, they will learn what it means and how to be in relationship with Him.
 
Display (Leadership, Mission, + Disciple Making): How do students display the glory of God? How do they help others grow in their relationship with Him? How can they lead others to display the truth of God? Through students learning to lead, live on mission, and make disciples, God’s glory is on display and His kingdom is expanded.
 
Each book includes 30 daily devotions, applicable Scripture, prayer prompts, and practical application.
