What is your name?
Monday, September 15, 2008
May I see your ID please? If someone asked for your identification you would probably reluctantly pull out your drivers license with the crazy picture on it that makes you look like an ex-con. If you described yourself you might say: Wife, Mom, Husband, Dad, Pastor, Teacher, Receptionist, Mechanic etc...or something that describes what you do.
Last Friday we started our small group meetings again. There is something comfortable about this group of ladies. Our same peeps plus some new friends! We are doing a different study this time. We have chosen Questions that Jesus asked throughout His ministry and researching them on our own and sharing them with the group. A different question each week. This was really cool.
Our first Question Jesus asked a man in Mark 5:1-20
What is your name?
We focused on the Mans life before his encounter with Christ and then the transformation that took place afterwards. We each shared our stories of salvation and how our lives have changed or are being changed by Jesus. This was a great start to our Bible Study and I learned something fun as well.
Renee: means Reborn
Mark: Author of a Gospel
Sarah: princess, Lady
Kyndall:Valley of the river
So What does your name mean?
Questions
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Ever Just wondered about stuff?? I find myself asking crazy questions all the time!!
"How come there's strawberry jam all over my keyboard?"
Who left the diaper in the babies clothes and then put them through the wash? Yuck!!
Why can't you get a tan on your palms?
What does the K in K-Mart Actually stand for?
What's the difference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup?
We All have questions we would like to have answered?
Sometimes we find a solution and sometimes not. There are even questions that run through my head that I would like to ask Jesus. Things we will have to wait until Christ's return for the answer.
Jesus communicated in unique ways throughout the bible. Using stories, word pictures that would relate to the times and situations his audience faced. He often asked questions of his disciples, Pharisees, and other people he came in contact with.
These questions will be the topic for our small group this fall. I have a group of ladies who are my dearest friends. Most of us are stay at home moms or have flexible work schedules. We get together for Bible Study once a week. The Kids play and we Learn together from God's Word and pray for one another and just visit.
We have done several Beth Moore studies, Don't waste your Life by John Piper, Women of the Bible, and Her Hands. This time we have researched The Questions that Jesus asked throughout His Ministry. We are each choosing 3 questions, Researching, and writing lessons to share with the rest of the group based on the questions we choose. I am really excited about this study!
I have chosen 2 questions so far for sure.
"What is your name?" Mark 5:9
"What do you want me to do?" Mark 10:51
This is really going to be an interesting study!!
