I hope you were all able to learn a lot from Circumstantial Faith last night. This week’s study is about Saving Faith. If you want to dig deeper into the scriptures regarding this study, check out the following links…

If you are reading this, odds are you have already had your first small group and are starting to look at the Circumstantial Faith chapter. We will use this site to help you dig deeper into the topic and into the word.

If you are interested in learning more about JOB 1:6-22, here is a link.

The Blueletterbible is designed to give you different versions, word helps, commentaries and other bible library tools to help you look at the word closer.

Here is the link to Hebrews 11 (one of the coolest reviews of God followers in the O.T.)

You will notice that these links take you to a King James Version, but clicking around will help you find easier to read versions.

Here is an audio sermon about Hebrews 11 from Warren Wiersbe (an old guy who is pretty cool)

If nothing else, spend the week in His word. It will be worth it. You can post comments here and I will try to get to them.

MARK

Just because we call them small groups does not mean that these are small things. You are all about to embarque upon a journey that can change the way you see the world. The books we are going to be going through aren’t huge overwhelming homework for you to add to your English and Math, but they are guides. Hopefully they will help focus your thoughts on your relationship with Christ (that is our hope). They are filled with scripture references (you will have to supply the Bible) to help you think about Faith.

The questions in this book do not all contain easy answers. Some of them may even be frustrating, because they ask us to think about ourselves, our ideas about life, about what we think the passage is saying, etc.

We are excited to join you all in this journey…yes, we too will be studying, memorizing (yikes) and growing along side of you.

See you at small group and keep watching this site. We have lots more for you to look at and think about.

MARK

Is everyone ready for school? Here at St. John, we are excited about the new year. We have some new, exciting stuff planned for Sunday School, Wednesday Night Small Groups, Main Event, Outreaches, etc. Get plugged in, invite some friends….
IT WILL BE AMAZING!
