Water into Wine

Today the 29 students in attendance and I talked about Jesus' first miracle in which He turned water into wine. The lesson may be seen here. We had a great discussion about the nature of miracles and how this act ushered in a new phase of Jesus' ministry.

Questions for discussion...

If you had been a the wedding would you have believed a miracle had taken place?
Do miracles still take place today?
What is the difference between a miracle and an amazing coincidence?

Is alcohol a good thing or a bad thing? (we touched on this in the study and I made the point that things are usually not the issue, it is how we treat them..overuse is the real issue)

Matthew 2 Exploring Your Destiny

We had 28 lively students this morning which is a new high mark for us. We had a great talk about the events in Matthew 2. The study may be seen here.

In The Beginning

We had a great meeting this morning with 24 happy, engaged students.

As we start a new year I wanted to start with the very beginning of the book of Matthew looking at the genealogy. While some people choose to skip over these sections in the Bible, every person listed has a story to tell us. The study this week may be seen here. For those of you who are new to this blog and Bible Study what is posted above is my very rough notes that guide our discussion. Due to time constraints and great discussions I never get to it all.

Discussion questions:
Is our family's genealogy important to us?
Am I related to Jesus? If so, how?
When have I ever witnessed God's plan for my life?
