God's timing and direction is always perfect! So last
night we began our first traditional Bible study and we
started with the Book of Acts. If you have
followed us through our blog, you know that over
the last year and a half, we have engaged in
many different studies and we have used a variety
of teaching formats and materials including books,
CD's ,and DVD's . This time we felt moved and
God perfectly set the stage for us to study about the
challenges that faced the early church and those who
spread the word about Jesus Christ and why He
came to earth.
We are using the NIV Life Application Bible
and spent our first session reviewing the Megathemes
that will be covered: Church beginnings, the Holy Spirit,
Church growth, Witnessing and Opposition. Acts
follows the Ministries of Peter and Paul. It looks
like we're in for a great study .
I am confident that God will not only reveal Himself
to us more clearly than ever before, but that He will
reveal lots to us about ourselves . I know that we
will each be challenged in many new and exciting
ways while at the same time may find that we also
should never neglect or forget the basics of our Christian walk.
It would have been better if my cell phone didn't keep ringing! Ugh...it's tough being on call. Brian said he really enjoyed last night...even went today and bought a NIV Life Application bible for himself! Woohoo!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooooo looking forward to this study and expecting as in the past, God will lead and guide us as we desire to live for Him.
