Ridgeline Study Prompts

Galatians 4:12-20

Prayer and Preparation
The Lord desires to walk closely with you today. Spend a few minutes in prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit to stir your affections for Christ. Then slowly and thoughtfully read this week’s text, with the anticipation that God wants to spend time with you as you spend time in His Word.

Study
