There are some times in life where everything seems to be happening at once. Well, this coming weekend is looking kind of like that. We’re going to be getting into a whole lot of serious study, let me put it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Biblical<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, we have guests from the USA who will be coming to teach people from four local Bible churches. We’re starting our 40 hour hermeneutics course<\/strong> – that is, a study of how to interpret the Bible. It looks like over 50 people will be coming. So we’re very excited about this critical teaching which will strengthen people’s lives and the lives of our churches. You can read more about this course here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just so happened that Sunday is a rather interesting day for teaching as well. It’s the final week of the 10 Commandments study<\/strong> in Sunday school, for one thing. We’ll be summing up what we’ve learned over the past – let’s see – 13 studies, I guess it would be (14 in all). And we’ll be discussing how to use God’s Law today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since we’re finishing that study, we’ll be starting a new one next time. Except that part 1 is a sermon – which means we’re also introducing the next topic in Sunday’s sermon. This is Spiritual Discernment<\/strong>, something very important for today’s believers, as always. It will be a four part Sunday school study – 5 parts if you include the sermon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spiritual<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So yes, three very different (though very related) and very challenging topics this weekend!<\/strong> I hope we can handle it! We have some pretty gung-ho people in our church, but this may stretch even some of them. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So hopefully my head won’t explode with all this concentrated study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday night I also apparently started to get sick – some seasonal bug, no doubt. So pain and congestion may also make my head explode. Please do pray that I will be able to get the rest I need, and that my voice will survive through the whole service on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than the limitations of the body, I’m looking forward to the weekend! Thanks for your prayers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
