The Circle Maker!


The Circle Maker!


This week we are reading Chapter 1 of The Circle Maker.  Go ahead and get started on that if you haven’t already, and we’ll be discussing that and getting to know each other this week at our Facebook Live session Thursday night at 8pm.

If you don’t have your Bible with you, download the free YouVersion  app to your phone.  I LOVE this because I have a Bible with me everywhere I go now!  I still use my real Bible, but it’s great to have a small little device that has a Bible on it with me all the time. You can go their website for information or just type in “YouVersion” in the search space of your App store on your phone or tablet.

Our memory verse this week is: “I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.



We will be using a tool called “verse mapping” to help us delve into God’s Word. If you aren’t familiar with verse mapping, I want to share it with you today. We started using this if you were with us for the “Yes to God” and “The Best Yes” studies.
                                                   



   

1.     We will be using this tool or one very similar throughout the study. Unpack our scripture for the week and share with us what you learned at our Facebook Party. Use verse mapping as an optional study tool. (Click here to learn more about verse mapping from  Heather Bleier or copy the following into your browser: http://bit.ly/11j4zW2)

2.     This summer I did a Bible Study Tools series and I introduced another tool called “verse chaining” – here’s the link if you like to give it a try!

If you like you can unpack these 2 verses as well –
·       What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us.1 Romans 8:31 NKJV

·       Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3 NIV

Happy Mapping and/or Chaining!!!

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!
