Ongoing Discoveries

This week we continued to explore what God is saying to us and how we step into that in a practical way.  We concluded by identifying the reality that many times we pull back from what God has said about us and in doing so embrace something less than fulfillment in our lives.  Come next week with questions that you have.

The Importance of Asking the Right Questions



There are many times when we are focused on getting the right answer and there are times that this is important.  However, sometimes it is more important to ask the right question.  Many times we respond to God the way that the disciples did in John 4.  They came back from a village and found him talking with a woman, a Samaritan woman who we know had a questionable reputation.  They marveled that he spoke with a woman, yet the scripture is clear that they didn't ask him about it.  We often hesitate from asking questions about scriptures or topics which puzzle us.  This often doesn't serve us well in our search for Truth.  Especially, as teachers it is important that we learn to ask and encourage those we are teaching to ask questions which are real to them.  This is a vital part of learning and owning our faith.

Exploring the Redemptive Gifts in Action

This Sunday, we began to take another step in exploring the redemptive gifts in action.  We look specifically at how the gifts can function in a small group setting.  We also hear from one couple in the group about how the gifts are coming up in the context of their marriage.  As we use the month of December to pursue questions, please come to class on Sunday with yours!
