Sorry for the delay, but here is the reading list for this Sunday’s Sermon. Really excited about it! A Fire Shall Always Be Burning.
Today: Leviticus 6:8-13; Leviticus 9:24; Deuteronomy 4:24
Tomorrow: Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:1-4; Hebrews 7:23-25
Saturday: Luke 22:31-34; Romans 8:34-39
We won’t be having Wed. Night Supper for this week, February 2 and next week, February 9. All other Wed. Night activities are still on! See you this Wednesday at 6:30!
Last night (11/17), we watched an update video from our partner, Catalyst Missions. It was so encouraging to see men and women from all over the world reporting about how they are taking the Biblical training they’ve received from us and other partnering churches, and are “entrusting it to faithful” men and women who will be able to teach a multiplying “others also!”
You can watch this video below. Be on the lookout for familiar faces!
Prayer Requests:
that the Lord would produce much gospel fruit through our Catalyst partners in South Asia and elsewhere in 2022.
that they would love Christ supremely even in the face of persecution.
that the Lord would provide everything needed for our 2 on-site trainings during the year.
that the Lord would produce the same kind of multiplying work here in Callahan!
With that last prayer request in mind, Pastor Justin laid out a road map for where we’re going over the next two years with GROW University. GU is a discipleship training school on Wednesday nights in the Fellowship Hall. Our focus is to Understand the scriptures, Apply them, and Teach them. Our tentative Course Schedule will include:
Old Testament 101: Genesis - 2 Samuel & Covenant Theology
Spiritual Growth: How Do I Grow as a Disciple, and Make Disciples like Jesus Commanded?
Old Testament 102: 1 Kings - Malachi
Hermeneutics 101: How to Study the Bible
New Testament 101: The Life of Christ
Evangelism 101: What is the Gospel, and How Do I Share It?
New Testament 102: Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation
Apologetics: How Do I Give an Answer for the Hope that’s within Me?
Church History 101: How did we get from Acts 28 to today?
Systematic Theology: What Does All of the Bible Together Say about This?
Prayer Requests:
Pray for your pastors as they continue to write the GU curriculum.
that the Lord would continue making us a church family of disciple-makers!
toward that end, that God would help each of us to prioritize being equipped for this work through opportunities like GROW University and a disciple-making relationship this year.
Church Family,
We want you to know that we’ve had some more church members test positive for Covid this week, some of whom were at church on Sunday morning. We’ve directly contacted those that we know were exposed and made sure our facility is clean and safe.
We are still meeting tonight for Wednesday Night Grow Service. We understand if you can’t come, but we encourage you to join us if you can. Our policy is that unless one of our pastors tests positive or shows symptoms, we plan to continue meeting together.
If you’re in a Wednesday Night leadership role of any kind, and won’t be here tonight, please contact one of the pastors or the church office. We love you so much, church family! We’re praying that the Lord will guard you and bring a quick end to this difficult season.
