Bible Study 7/27

- beef stew


God has the right to show favor to those who He wants to show favor to. It is not for us to question this because we're merely vessels and He is the potter who created us. Furthermore, we deserve His wrath from our own failures, but instead of destroying us, He remains patient with mankind by demonstrating His mercy. And He gives righteousness to those who pursue it by faith rather than works.

Bible study this week at the same place and time. Tim and I will bring food.

Bible Study 7/20

- soba




Last week, Paul explained to the Jewish people that they shouldn't automatically assume that they were saved based on their biological connection to Abraham because only a certain line of Israel was chosen and blessed by God. God's sovereign choice of who to bless or curse is traced back to Isaac, Jacob & Esau, and even the Pharoah. And His sovereignty to choose is fair because God is good, and He ultimately defines what is righteous and good. He chooses based on His will rather than man's will/works because that would result in our deaths.

We have Bible study this week and a new verse. Jason and Jeremy will bring food.

Bible Study 7/13

- tacos

Last week, Paul addresses believers who are suffering from persecution. He encourages them to endure because of the love of Christ. The love of Christ should stregthen a believer to persevere through suffering and nothing can ever take away the love of Christ from us.

We have Bible study this week at my place at the same time as usual. Danny and Niki will provide food. Oh yeah, new memory verse!
