Spotlight Group - Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Pathway Points
Stepping Up for Jesus
Once per month, I like to spotlight one of the various
GraceGroups that we have at Grace. This month, I want to introduce you to the ladies
of the Tuesday Morning Bible Study, one of our longest running groups, and let
them tell you how they work to take the next steps on the Discipleship Pathway
together.
Name: Tuesday
Morning Bible Study
Meeting Time: Tuesdays,
9:30am
Location: Grace
West, Room A
How do you help each
other love God more? We’ve done quite a few studies over the years. Some of
our favorites have been No
More Faking Fine: Ending the Pretending, The
Red Tent, The
Call: The Life and Message of the Apostle Paul, and Half
Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't
Say. Through all of these, we really try to focus on the Bible, what it
says, and how it applies to our lives. Over and over, we encourage one another
to think for ourselves through our discussions.
How do you serve all,
specifically one another? For us, there are two ways that we serve each
other. First is through prayer. We share prayer requests, both joys and
concerns, when we gather, and then we pray for each person throughout the week.
Second, is our fellowship time. We regularly get together outside of the
Tuesday morning study to hangout and enjoy each other’s company. Through all of
this we’ve learned that everyone has problems, and it’s okay. We’ve also
learned how to trust God through learning to trust each other.
How do you change
lives, especially in the community? We’ve championed several projects over
the years. Our most consistent ones have been One-Week-One-Street, providing a
meal for the volunteers at the Helen M Nickless Clinic, and volunteering at the
various family gatherings hosted by Grace. We’ve found that all of the studies
that we’ve done have provided fantastic background for us as we teach GraceKids
on Sunday mornings.
Thanks for letting me visit, Ladies! I’ve got to say, I’ve
very proud of all of you. It’s been so much fun watching you share your faith
with the kids in the community through Freaky Friday and at the Easter Egg Hunt
with the Resurrection Eggs.
Stepping up with you in His strength!
