July 17th

For this week I think we can skip the temple design chapters and pick up in Chapter 32 of Exodus. Let's read to the end of Exodus. Again, take notes and come prepared to discuss. I'd like to finish Moses this week, but we'll see how far we get in the conversation. See you all Friday.

July 10th

The story of Moses has been pretty great! This Friday, I'm thinking we should all go to the Brazil Dinner at the church, so for now, I'm not assigning any homework. Feel free to post comments if you have any other thoughts.

July 3rd

Hi everyone. We really missed you all on Friday, but were praying that preparations for the Reu family went well. I guess we can pick back up in the story of Moses on the 3rd (if we all haven't made plans for the holiday). So let's read through chapter 24. Then we can all go to the lake.
And I guess we're still praying for Leila's LEED exam on Tuesday, and, of course, for Phil and the kids.
Speaking of prayers, perhaps we should talk about including prayer in our weekly scripture homework. See you all Friday, if not sooner.

Homework for June 19th

Read Exodus up to the end of chapter 19, and take notes on key points, insights and verses about Moses that you would like to discuss with the group. After that we will start at the Ten Commandments. Enjoy your reading, and see you Friday night.

Characters of the Bible Series

As you all know, we are done with Revelation. The next series of studies will be about characters of the Bible. We started last night by talking about Adam and Eve, which naturally included discussing Cain and Abel. Next week we will talk about Noah. Here is a list of characters I would like to learn about after that: Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Samson, Ruth, Samuel, Saul, David, Solomon, Jeroboam, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, and Daniel. So read about Noah during the week, and we will talk about him on Friday.

17 Chapters in

Now we're in the 17th chapter of Revelation, and will be getting back into the same chapter when we pick back up again after Christmas. I have been encouraged by our study of Revelation a lot more than I had expected, and I expect that these last chapters will challenge our thinking even more. I just wanted to thank all of you who come to the Good Book club for your involvement and encouragement.

Revelation

We have started a study on the book of Revelation. Last night we read and discussed the first chapter. Up next are the letters to the seven churches. There are a lot of things to talk about in this book. As I said yesterday, we're not trying to find all the solutions to Revelation, we're just reading and getting familiar with an often neglected book of the New Testament, and letting God teach (and sometimes dumbfound) us through His word. I think it's good to meditate on what this book says, so I'll try to post what we'll be looking at ahead of time. Next week we'll be reading the letter to the church in Ephesus, so read it, meditate on it, and we'll discuss it next Friday.
