On Track Devotionals

OCTOBER 2023 - LUKE

The book of Luke brings us a chronological rendering of Jesus’ life and ministry. Written by a doctor who was likely not a Jew, it focuses on the facts and is the first of two sequential books addressed to Theophilus… Acts is the second book… as a foundation for understanding the early church and its origins.

While Luke focused much of his attention on facts, he clearly valued placing those facts within the context of relationships… Jesus’ interactions with people. So while it is clinical in its observation, it’s personal in its depiction of Jesus and his compassion for people.

GROW SELF-FEEDERS.
Rather than presenting preset conclusions, the inductive study method of OTD walks the user through a process of discovery, unlocking the Word by training them through repetition and modeling, how to ask good questions. Users are set free from dependence on media and other inputs that externally define for them what life is about and who God is. The Word becomes a real conversation with God.

IT'S A TOOL.
OTD is a daily devotional tool available in monthly booklet format designed to build the skill and discipline of effective daily Bible study, and is authored by Dwight Peterson. Each month includes both prayer list and commitment pages designed to add context to personal Bible study and to facilitate small group accountability.

RELEVANT AND FLEXIBLE.
OnTrack focuses on skill development, engaging 4 Levels of user skill in one tool.
