Life
Group Community:
Fantastic
discussion on Saturday about the need for studying the bible and the things
which keep us from a consistent craving of God’s word.
Romans12:1-2
teaches us to be living sacrifices and to be different from the world. Trust that God’s will is perfect and
pleasing.
I
Peter 2:2 challenges us to crave and desire the word of God so that we
might grow.
The
challenge for the week is to spend 15 to 30 minutes daily, Monday –
Friday, of this week in the bible. We hope for 100% participation.
At
the beginning of Life Group, we made a list of advice we give our children on
how to study: schedule the time and place, be consistent, have your resources
ready, remove distractions, don’t wait till the last minute, etc.
Use this same advice to accomplish the challenge this week. Ask God to teach you how to train (John Ortberg reference to book Training vs. Trying) in the spiritual discipline of study. Ask Him what is keeping you from craving and desiring His word. Then we can spend time at the beginning of Life Group sharing what we learned.
Be
intentional.
