Ruth

Looks like Ruth is up next. I think we can read the whole book this week. See y'all at the end of the week.

Samson

OK guys, back to blogging updates. Coming this Friday, 9/4, will be the story of Samson, Judges 13-16. This should be an interesting character, so I'm really looking forward to the discussion.

Deborah

This week we'll be discussing Deborah, who's story is in chapters 4 & 5 of Judges. I know some of you are very excited about Deborah, so I'm really looking forward to Fridays meeting.

The Judges

This week we're going to be discussing the first three chapters of Judges, so we'll be learning about Othneal, Ehud, and Shamgar. The next week, we'll be talking about Deborah, whose story is in chapters 4 & 5.

Finishing Joshua

Hey All,
I think we can finish talking about Joshua this week. A lot of the rest of the book of Joshua is about allotments and inheritances, so I think it would be okay to skim the remaining chapters to get Joshua's life story. See you all Friday.

Joshua

Hey Guys,
Well, I think we hit all the main points about Moses, and we can move on to Joshua. So let's read the first 12 chapters of Joshua. See you all on Friday.

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.
