We need a 365 class social. (Pray for us , we will be with family 3-6 Jul in Longview.)
If you have missed class and are not up to date on your reading - COME ON, Please. What is coach Mike's favorite saying? "If you quit now, you will always be a _ _ _ _ _ _!. Remember to BE 1st then to DO 2nd, continue to pray for your "card partner" and your missionary family. What was significant to you that you read this week (4-10)?
*comments from The New Scofield* Study Bible " During the period recorded in this book, Israel received warnings and exhortations from Amos and Hosea, and a number of prophets arose in Judah, including Isaiah and Jeremiah. The book concludes with the people of Judah in captivity in Babylon."
2nd Kings 23:31-25:30? What do you sense about "and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done." ___ "so Judah was carried away out of their land". Discover how choices impact those around us//consequences. Look for The LORD.
I Chronicles 1:1-10:14 How does genealogy (9:1) impact our lives? How does 4:9-10 impact your prayer life? Saul's life reflected at 10:13-14.How does this impact your concept of GOD?
**Comments from Halley's Bible Handbook, "The Twelve preceding Books of the Bible ended with the Hebrew nation in captivity. These two books of Chronicles retell the same story, and end at the same point. They are a Recapitulation of all that had gone before, with special attention to the reigns of David, Solomon and subsequent kings of Judah. I Chronicles is, in part the same as II Samuel. It has to do with the story of David, prefaced with 9 chapters of Genealogies. The Genealogies cover the period from Adam to the Jews' return from captivity, a sort of epitome of all previous sacred history."
"I & II Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, were, originally, one series of works. Jewish tradition had it that Ezra was the author. Thus, it is seen, the author had access to journals, diaries and public records that are not now known . He also had access to previous Old Testament books. Guided by God, he transcribed that which was suited the purpose of his own writings. So, in this part of the Old Testament, we have a double narrative."
Acts 22:17-27:44 What was the impact of Paul's testimony? How did you judge Felix, Festus an Agrippa? What was unusual about the shipwreck? Where have you been for the past 5 years?
Psalm 2:1-8:9 Did you see: Prophecy? Stability? Good Words/News? Prayer? Being Anxious? Plea for protection? Excellent Name? What did you learn about God?
Proverbs 18:13-24 A fool's mouth and the power of the tongue. What about your friends?
Is there one(1) thing / thought / idea or concept that impressed you this week? Can you say "this one thing I know” because you have read and discovered a truth this week?
Hopefully, the reading this week causes you to sense, feel, know and believe that you are in fact saved, safe and in the hand of God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and that you are accepted in the beloved, secure and significant to GOD. Consider others, check on those that were not in class last week, tell and show them you care for them. Use 2nd Peter 1:2 to encourage others.
** Take time to tell someone you are seeking a specific favor for them from GOD. __ Have the courage to ask them for "evidence", if yours prayers were/have been beneficial.
