Wednesday Evening Online Bible Study
Wednesday Evening Online Bible Study continues tonight Wednesday, October 9 at 7:00pm. We will be taking a closer look at each of the aspects of the fruit of the Spirit that Paul mentions in Galatians 5:22-23. If there were ever a time to show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control, that time would be now. For some patience may be the greatest virtue. Geoffry Chaucer wrote, “Patience is a conquering virtue. And Benjamin Franklin once said, “He that can have patience can have what he will.” For many patience can be hard to find, but let’s see what the Bible has to say.
Sunday 9am Bible Study
Acts: Commissioned for a Mission
In Acts 1 Jesus said to his disciples, “You will be my witnesses.” The disciples were commissioned to be something That being would inform their doing. They were commissioned for a mission. This commissioning has been given to us today. Through our study of Acts, we will see that we have been commissioned to be witnesses. We are witnesses now. We don’t cease being witnesses—we have a commission. This commission helps us carry out the task of witnessing as we share the message of the risen Jesus and his saving work.
Upcoming Sunday
Jesus has called each one of us to follow him as disciples. Yet, distractions often overshadow our spiritual focus and busyness clouds our understanding of discipleship. Over the next seven weeks, we will rediscover what it means to follow Jesus in our everyday lives. We’ll recall Christ’s mission, relearn his path, and most of all we’ll be reminded that Christ encourages and equips us to follow him as his disciples every day.
