February 21st
God’s Great Patience (Judges)
The Narrative: The 400 year cycle of Peace, Rebellion, and painful correction of the Nation of Israel.
The Message: The book of Judges (like the rest of the books of the bible) is more about the nature of God than it is about the fascinating characters involved in each of the stories. The lesson here is God is a patient God. Even when we say, “we won’t do it again” and then do it again, he is patient with us and forgives. Out of love he then disciplines so we will not hurt ourselves again with the same disobedience.
February 28th *Communion
The Outsider (Ruth)
The Narrative: The story of God using a Moabite widow to continue His story.
The Message: God is creative and when “His people” don’t do His will He will often chose a very unlikely person to do the job. The truly amazing thing is seeing this unlikely person overcome all the odds and pull off God’s plans even though an outsider. God may call you to do his will even though you feel like the outsider and you feel like all the odds are against you.
March 7th *Prayer for healing
First King (1 Samuel 8-31)
The Narrative: The nation of Israel demands a King just like the Kingdoms surrounding them.
