Daily Discipleship

Bible studies based on the Sunday worship Gospel lessons

Christ invites you to follow him... Daily!

Daily Discipleship is an online Bible study based on the Gospel lesson used at Sunday worship. Each weekly session is designed for small groups of two to seven people who gather to prepare for upcoming Sunday worship or to reflect on the previous week's reading. Groups discuss the assigned Gospel lesson’s implications for daily living. Daily Discipleship can be easily adapted for personal devotions or used for sermon preparation. Learn how to implement Daily Discipleship in your congregation. Have questions? Visit our Frequently asked Questions section or feel free to contact us with your question.

We are currently in lectionary Year C, 3rd Quarter (Summer: Pentecost). Visit the current Daily Discipleship, Prayers of Discipleship and learn more about Year C and the Gospel of Luke.

What is a Lectionary?

A lectionary is a list of scripture readings assigned to be read on a particular day. This tradition of a lectionary has roots in Jewish worship of long ago and was continued by the early Christians.

Not all Christians use the same lectionary, but many Lutheran. Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist and other Christian churches around the world use the Revised Common Lectionary, a three-year cycle beginning in in Advent. Each year the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, or Luke is read primarily with the Gospel of John interspersed throughout all three years. Consequently, if a person worshipped every Sunday for three years, he or she would be able to hear the majority of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
