Welcome to our Bible Study Blog. I am very excited about starting this new Bible Study but to be honest with you very apprehensive about the effectiveness of this format. But I know God can take this and turn it into exactly what he wants it to be, so stand with me in believing.
This is an introductory Post. Just to let you know what you can expect over the next year. As you have read, we are trying to kick off 2011 with a new format in response to your requests. So we are alternating Bible Study, with Our Sisters sharing their stories. This creates a challenge, but we all know nothing is too big for our God. We will begin a DVD Bible Study by Liz Curtis Higgs that we will return to every other month through the year. This Blog will help us to stay focused and keep you connected to others by giving you the opportunity to share what you are learning, post questions for others, or to just receive encouragement to continue throughout the months until we come together again as a group.
For those of you who attended the WOP conference in November you had the opportunity to hear Liz speak. She is filled with God's love and grace and at the same time is filled with humor and down to earth practical reality that is relevant for us all no matter what season of life you are in. So enjoy this next year with me as we learn and grow.
Check in often but at the very least weekly to discover reflection questions, study verses, encouragement and comments from our fellow travelers as we go back and visit Issac and Rebekah; Jacob and Esau; and Leah and Rachel.
As we begin our study, spend some time reading Genesis 25: 19-28. We will begin studying the actions and motives of these family members and we will be blown away by how despite how we act or behave, God will always honor his promises.
Looking forward to this. I don't know if I can make the Thursday night studies as I work up in the Poconos and usually don't get home until 7-8pm. Will try. I'm excited to see how this goes! God bless!
