Bible Study 8/31

- Chili dogs



Synopsis from last week - Despite the fact that Israel has continually failed in the eyes of the God, He has not destroyed them. Instead He chose to maintain a remnant according to His gracious choice, so that His promises will be fulfilled. God will use Israel's failure to bring Gentiles to Him, which in turn will cause Israel to become jealous and turn back to Him.

We will continue with the second part of Romans 11 this week and memorize your verses! Angela and Niki will bring food.

Paul continued to explore Israel's failures in last week's study. Paul indicts Israel by pointing out that Israel had no defenses - they had heard and understood the gospel, but because of their pride and self-righteousness they chose to disobey God by rejecting Christ. We have also heard and understood, so let us not be indicted like Israel.

For those who couldn't make it to the Harvest Crusade Impact class this past Sunday, you're encouraged to attend the other locations. The first session is good review and builds the foundation for subsequent sessions.

We will continue with Romans this week - same place, same time. Arrive on time or no food for you! j/k. Danny and Jeremy will bring the food.

Last week, we learned that Israel stumbled over Jesus because they continued to pursue righteousness through their own works rather than pursuing it by faith. Paul points out that Israel's zeal for God was there, but it was worthless without knowledge of Jesus Christ. Paul also argues that we don't need to do extraordinary works to obtain our salvation, instead "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved". And anyone believe with their hearts will obtain righteousness and whoever confesses with their mouths will be saved. That is indeed the good news.

We will continue with Romans this week - same time, same place, same channel. Jason and Niki will bring food.

Bible Study 8/3

I'm still tired and sore from the retreat this past weekend. It was a really good opportunity just to get away from our daily distractions, meet with the Lord, and having fellowship with one another. Rafting was painful! Thank God that no one was seriously injured, especially after "Mother" where you'll see overturned/empty rafts, floating oars and floating people. It was a fun experience though, hopefully Jeremy will be kind enough to post some pics.

We spent last week trying to memorize Colossians 3:12-17; it could've been better, but I thought we all did a pretty good job! We will continue on with Romans this week - same time, same place. Harvard and Sterling will provide food.
