Hebrews 4

Hebrews 4:1-16

Great passage here. Lots to take from it. I know we've been lax over the last couple weeks because of the business, but business is not an excuse to not be in the word! So, this week, I want to take a little more time than normal to go over this text. Let's all be ready to go by 15 till, instead of 10 till. It's only five more minutes, but five minutes can be a big deal!

See you all Sunday.

James 3

James 3

This is a great passage of scripture. Lot's to take from it, and being that we are such noticeable faces in our church, it greatly applies to us! Pay particular attention to vs 13-18. When we are involved in a ministry such as ours, this can easily be something that our enemy uses to deceive us. Let us not fall into such temptations.

Romans 14

Romans 14

I think this is a good piece of scripture to meditate on this week. Let's make no mistake here. This passage is not just about food and drink. It's about our lives and the way we carry ourselves. I think if we took the time to really investigate ourselves, we'd see that sometimes we say or do things that may cause our brother or sister to stumble. We are all guilty of this, me first and foremost. As we continue to seek after God, let us be aware of the things that stand in each others way. Ultimately, these things will stand in the way of us growing closer to God. As always, we'll get into this deeper Sunday morning.

James

James 1:22-27

James is a butt-spanking book! I love it! This excerpt that we'll be discussing is an interesting piece of scripture. I would highly recommend that you read the entire chapter. I would even more so highly recommend that you read the whole book. It won't take you long. James is a short book. But there is a ton of stuff in here that we could talk about for the next year. Seriously! Anyway, give it a look and we'll talk about it Sunday. Several of you were slackers last week! LOL make sure you read this week! I'm going to ask one of you to lead this time this week. You won't know who until Sunday! :)

Luke 5

Luke 5:27-32

This is one of the most famous excerpts in all of scripture. But there is an underlying lesson here. This one is not hidden and it's not very hard to see if you really read and examine the text, so... no itunes gift card this week, but I do want to see who gets it, if for no other reason than for bragging rights.

Read the passage, pray about it, and ask God to reveal something to you this week. We'll gather, as always, Sunday morning to discuss. I look forward to what you all have to say. Also, during this time, if there's something that you've been reading on for awhile and have some good insight into something that you think God would want you to share with all of us, please do so! Remember, we study the scriptures not just for our own benefit, but for others' benefit, as well.

Love y'all

Matthew 8

There is a ton of great theology found in the book of Matthew. Chapter 8, however, is especially intriguing. There is an underlying theme here that can easily be missed if you don't take time to dissect and study and pray about it.

For this week, I'm going to keep the little "contest" going from our last reading. This one isn't a trick, however. I'm not trying to trip you all up! :)

Read the passage, pray about it, and try to really grasp what is happening here. We will talk about it Sunday morning. Remember, this is not just for the people who are playing and singing this week. Everyone on the Worship team is invited to join us for our discussion. Whoever comes up with the answer to the mystery gets a $10 itunes gift card. If no one does, we'll save it for the next one. We may even start allowing the total to accumulate, if no one gets it this week!

Matthew Chapter 8.... have fun!

Habakkuk

This week we are going to look at a very short passage of scripture, Habakkuk 1: 1-11.

If you would like to keep reading on, I would encourage you to do so. It is a really cool book in the Bible and will give you a lot of questions to ask. If you thirst for theology and explanation, this is a good book for that!

There is one BIG MAJOR illustration that I want to make from this passage. Let's see if you can find it. If you can figure it out, there will be a prize! And to keep it fair, I'll let someone in on what it is that I"m talking about, so I can't say no one guessed it.

Haven't figured out what the prize will be yet, but it will be something fun. Perhaps some of you have a suggestion for the prize??????
