2009 Theme—A walk with Jesus from Genesis to Revelation
Luke 24:27 “Were not our hearts burning within us while He (Jesus) talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Key verse from Luke 24:13-35—Jesus walking with his disciples on the Emmaus Road.
Following are weekly readings for each Sunday’s message in 2009. Read these passages with your family as a family devotion each week before church if you are a member of Good Shepherd faith community. Use them as a guide for reading through the Bible if you don’t have a regular reading plan. These are key scriptures that will be used each week in the message. You will come to church prepared!
