Met with my MCB girls this afternoon... Over this year I have been meeting monthly with Jess, Erin and Gemma to tackle the Middle Chunk of the Bible... You know the middle bit, the Old Testament, the part you sort of get muddled in... well it has been fantastic to meet with these young, vibrant, enthusiastic and faithful go-getters!!
We are working our way up to the MCB and so today we reached the Split of the Kingdom - so by our next meeting we will be ready to check out those Prophets!!!
It's exciting to see these young women hungry for God's word and see truths click further into place and see them excited by biblical theology! WOO HOO!!!
Highlights:
:: Cycles in Genesis and Judges
:: God's graciousness in providing the Sacrificial System
:: Prostitutes help spies?? (Josh 2), A King "weeing" in a cave??? (1 Sam 24:3), Affairs (2 Sam 11), Murder: Tent Peg through head (Judges 5:26)
:: Israel's obsession with good looks: Saul' s height n charm & David's ruddy looks with great eyes!
:: And just seeing Israel's unfaithfulness to a God who has been so good to them, saving them time and time again. God is so faithful even when his people so blatantly reject him.
"Blessed be the LORD... Not one word has failed of all his good promise"
1 Kings 8:56-57
Which led us to a good time of prayer: praying from stuff we discovered together, plus for each other in our everyday lives and specific ministries we are involved in at Matthias.
This Afternoon was an Absolute Joy!!!
