BACK IN THE SADDLE

Perhaps life group wasn't the most exciting spiritually last night, as we decided to switch gears on the fly, and watch the presidential debates together on the patio big screen. The coming election is very important to actively participate in and pray about. That was Dr. Stan's point.

Seems like it's always a little challenging at the beginning of a thing to get your focus set and get momentum, but we're definitely "back in the saddle again," and I expect things to pick up and get exciting as we all participate with prayer, presence, and engage with the subject matter, each other, each week. :)

Stan gave us a little overview of the Book of Hebrews main point: the centrality and Person of Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, King of Creation, King of all. We pray that will be a focus of what we do and experience this fall: "keeping the main thing, the main thing -- Jesus."

Stan had us read the following Scriptures from different translations and comment on them: Col 2:9-10, Col 1:16-20, and Eph 1:19-23. Seeing that Christ is the "Head over everything," he began reading Hebrews 1:1-4. Please read and mediate on this revelation from Holy Scripture. If you get it, it's a game changer for your life and times. All life, and all times.

Before we prayed and watched the debate together, Stan read two verses from Matthew that had stood out to him this week. I'll end this first home group report with that!


“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” (Matthew 28:18)


“... and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:20)
