Hello Everyone!


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It’s good to be back at this Blog!!&nbsp; I really missed this!&nbsp; Sharing, talking, laughing, and learning a
lot of things through this moment, this time that I take to write these posts.


It was
wonderful our breakfast last Sunday!&nbsp; Very
Good!&nbsp; Delicious!&nbsp; We need to do this more often, right? Of
course we didn’t have time to do our lesson, but we deserved that break, right?


What a
surprise to see that we have a great choir in our class! &nbsp;We did very good guys!&nbsp; Thank you so much for letting me be part of
this. It was great to be together praising the Lord, singing about His love. Thanks
everyone! Let’s do it again!


In the
previous weeks we learned ways to Serve – Exploring the Hows and Why’s of
Meeting Other’s Needs.&nbsp; We were looking at the “serve” aspect of our spiritual growth, which
examines the various roles and attitudes toward serving the church. We all have
gifts we can (and are expected to) bring to the church body, but how
do we learn what those gifts are? And how do we make sure we’re serving with
the right motives? Let’s talk a little be more about this? Write a comment,
answers these questions. 


Next Sunday I will be away, but our good friend Aline will be conducting
the class, so don’t miss it, I am sure you guys will have a great time.


&nbsp;You’ll be studying the first part of GO – SHARING THE GOSPEL IS EASIER
THAN YOU THINK:


1 – Can it really be that easy? (John 1:29, 35-39)


2 – Who Should I Tell? (John 1:40-46)


Is “evangelism” a scary word to you? It doesn’t have to be. This week
we’ll look at a story about John the Baptist and Jesus’ first disciples, from
John 1, and we’ll see that evangelism can be as simple as sharing what you know
with the people you know.


If you don’t have a bible in English go to http://www.biblegateway.com/ , a good version for this is the New International Reader's Version.


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unfortunately, statistic shows that
people inside the church aren’t living very different lives from those outside
of the church. For a little proof, check out the research done by LifeWay at
lifeway.com/research, read the book UnChristian by Dave Kinnaman, or the work
done by Christian Smith at youthandreligion.org/research.


I want to start next Sunday’s discussion with a Key Thought – Evangelism
is simply this: telling people you know what you know – and a Key Question – Do
you consider what John did evangelism? Why or Why not? Share experiences with us, post a comment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have a song
to listen – “On the Mission Field”, 
by Blessid Union of Souls from the Album The Mission Field. Listen to
this song allowing time for God to speak to you about our Sunday’s topic, and
tell us: Are you comfortable talking about Jesus with your friends or you rather
discuss Jesus with a stranger? Where’s your Mission Field? Share experiences
with us, post a comment. 




&nbsp;And Finally… Remember: Praying for one another is part of our tasks as
Christians. We have completed a Prayer Request sheet and we have our
classmates’ names and requests. Let’s pray! God has something amazing to teach
us! Pray for your own heart, that God will grow you closer to Him. Pray for
each person you wrote the name in the Journal, ask God to meet their
expectations in His way, His time. 


Let’s pray that our group would serve with humility, using the gifts God
has given us. Pray that our group members would seek to go above and beyond in
serving the church.&nbsp; Pray that our
service would be motivated by a love for Christ and others as well as a desire
to see God glorified above all else.


&nbsp;God bless you all, 


Have a wonderful week!


I know I’ll miss you…

&nbsp;“We all have
gifts. They differ in keeping with the grace that God has given each of us. Do
you have the gift of prophecy? Then use it in keeping with the faith you have. &nbsp;Is it your gift to serve? Then serve. Is it
teaching? Then teach. &nbsp;Is it telling
others how they should live? Then tell them. Is it giving to those who are in
need?

Then give freely. Is it being a leader? Then work hard
at it. Is it showing mercy? Then do it cheerfully.”





Romans
12:6-8
