The mid-week study on Tuesday went well. It didn't start off so hot though. I waited until the last minute to print out the handouts for the class. Well due to my procrastination when the ink began to run out and smear everything I was left with 7 good copies and no way to print anything better. So when people starting showing up I set up a limit: one "good" handout per family. Well, due to sickness we only had 7 people present so everyone got a "good" copy. Now I just need to go to Staples or somewhere and get a new cartridge.
The study itself was a success. We finished up chapter 2 and the discussion of Jesus being greater/better than the angels. We noted that in remainder of chapter 2 we see that:
- Jesus is the Ruler of the World (vs 5-9)
- Jesus is the Founder/Captain of Salvation (vs 10-13)
- Jesus is the Great Helper (vs 14-18)
Surprise, surprise, but I'm a little behind on my sermon for the week.We will be using 1 Peter 4:10-11 as our text. Although, the gist will come from 4:10 "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:"...
The point I'll attempt to make is that God has given and entrusted us with a gift:
- Use your gift
- Use your gift to serve others
- Glorify God with your gift (vs 11)
Well, it's almost time to go run Tim's dogs at the big field at UAlbany. It might be a little chilly out tonight it's somewhere around 61ยบ at the moment, and the sun is still full blast. So it'll cool down quite a bit by the time we get out there. But I like it!
Hope all is well wherever you are.
God bless,
Wes
