Week One coming up of Bible study: First Night February 11, 5:30pm to 6:30pm.
The study is from Does Your Church Have a Prayer? By Marc Brown, Kathy Merry, and John Briggs.
Notes from the Leaders Guide by Evelyn on 1/31/13
Here are some note worthy questions to consider before our study begins. These are from p. 16 of the leaders guide:
Scripture: John 21:1-14. Good to read this ahead of the questions below.
1. Is your church fishing on the wrong side of the boat?
2. Does your congregation spend most of its time casting its nets into waters that protect cherished memories of the past or cherished ministries of the present?
3. Do the nets your congregation casts continue to come up empty?
4. Is there a spirit of weariness and murmuring as ministry efforts keep yielding the same frustrating results?
5.Leaders guide, p. 18. Are you ready to fish from the right side of the boat?
6. What does God intend for your church? from p. 21
7. How can we glorify God through our life together? from p. 21
Scripture to study ahead of week one: Gospel of John, chapter 17 and Acts 1:8.
If you have time to post your answer, our members who are living away for the winter can participate in the study with us, as well as ASU students or people from our community who have a strong interest in our church can see what we are all about. I hope by adding the electronic dimension to our winter Bible study, it will bring the word of the Lord to more people. Come join us. Evelyn Lemons, Pastor.
