Daily Discipleship

 


Christ invites you to follow him. . . daily

Welcome to Daily Discipleship!

Daily Discipleship is a free, online, downloadable, lectionary Bible study based on the
gospel lesson used at Sunday worship. Each weekly session is designed for “Daily Discipleship Groups” of two–seven people who gather to prepare for upcoming Sunday worship (or to reflect on the previous week’s reading) by discussing the assigned gospel lesson’s implications for daily living. It can be easily adapted for personal devotions or
used for sermon preparation.

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. 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.


Each year begins with the season of Advent and is referred to as:

Year A: Primarily the Gospel of Matthew   PDF  PDF Format 

Year B: Primarily the Gospel of Mark   PDF  PDF Format

Year C: Primarily the Gospel of Luke   PDF  PDF Format
