The Morning After...

...Bible Study Live!!!

Good Morning, OBSers! We’re wrapping up the week and I just want to say Thank You to everyone who joined us for Bible Study Live on Facebook last night.

So catch up on your reading of this week assignment... Gomer (pp. 73-84 in study guide)

Here are a few questions that were posted during last night Bible Study Live! Spend some time journaling your answers.

Before this Bible study had you ever heard about or read Gomer’s story?

Did it shock you to learn that God would ask someone to marry a prostitute? What thoughts raced through you mind as you were reading the story?

Why you think God chose this story to show us a picture of ourselves with Him?

As women we can become champions at covering up and comparing? What are your thoughts?

On page 80, the author lists some of the lessons we learn from Gomer. What is the one lesson that hits home for you and what is God speaking to your heart through Gomer’s story?

Sometimes we subtly, or even overtly, betray who God designed us to be. – Jeanne Stevens

What are some of the things in our lives that can become a “first love” and take God’s place?

Hosea 1:10-2:1 reads…

“Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ The people of Judah and the people of Israel will come together; they will appoint one leader and will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel. “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

What do these words mean for you today?

How has God been faithful to you even when you were unfaithful to Him?

Journal Hosea 1:10-2:1 - God words for His people and put them into your own words – personalize them.

No matter where your story has taken you, you can always come back home. Only God can heal your pain. – Jeanne Stevens

We made it to the end of Week 2 - #OBS #12Women #12Women-CCMV!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Cheryl

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
