Moving Forward …

Sorry for the delay in not updating … I promise to update once a week even if it means a little less sleep.

We finished Organic God, which was way awesome and helped us learn a lot about peeling away the gunk from our beliefs and feelings about God, so that we can enjoy Him for who He is.

Margaret Feinberg challenged us to study a book in the bible and get to know it in a new way.  Read it in a few different versions, ask questions and really delve deep into it so that it takes on a new meaning in our lives.

We have taken up that challenge and am now studying the book of Ephesians!

We started off our new series talking about when it was written, who Paul wrote it to and about the general theme of the book.  Basically Ephesians is about our identity in Christ which is way cool because it allows us to be truly free! So don’t be afraid to dig deep, learn something new and remember to ask God what He wants you to learn!
