Today is the official beginning of the first OUT-WORD Bible study. This weekly study has been prepared for people to engage the Bible on several levels. Through scripture reading, discussion, videos that lead you through the themes, and questions to respond to both online and in group sessions. This first six-session lesson is called Your Spiritual Survival Kit. Based around upcoming Sunday lessons from the Gospel of Luke, in this series of teachings Jesus reveals some of the "survival tools" that God gives us to overcome obstacles in our daily life. This study will explore and deepen our understanding and practice of Christian qualities such as humility, gratitude, hope, joy, and love.
First - there is an introductory video to watch, available on our website at this link: Your Spiritual Survival Kit Introductory Video.
Next - there will be a question posted online for you every day, beginning today. Come back here to this blog each day to find your daily question. Feel free to post your own response as a comment, or just carry the question with you throughout the day for reflection, thought and prayer.
We will be posting dates and times that the weekly group studies will meet. Currently we have 4 "hosts" who will be having the Bible studies at their homes. Each of the six sessions lasts about an hour and a half. We will list the names, places, times and dates for the group studies in our church announcements. Hopefully one will work with your schedule.
If not, we invite you to consider hosting one of your own. If your home is not suitable to hosting a group meeting, possibly a clubhouse, the church, or some other location can be found. Since the study is specifically designed for use with a group, I recommend everyone go through it as part of a group. If that proves to be impossible and you'd like to try going through the material by yourself, let me know.
Peace,
Pastor Scott
