Session 5 & 6 - Nehemiah's Sacred Feast Nov. 5th

Ok, so as you can see... life has been busy, I have been busy and I've not posted for session 5 or 6. I've recapped both these weeks below. 

As we close out our Nehemiah study we will finish up on November 5th at Jessica Prescott's home in Torrey Oaks at 6:30pm. Click here for the list of what everyone is bringing. Please fill in your name & side dish if you plan on attending so that we know how many to plan for. Feel free to invite a friend!

It's sad that this will be our last gathering... but ladies... we'll have another study to offer sometime in the winter of 2013. We will keep you updated. 

Don't forget to continue to pray and seek God's guidance in your life. Where does he want you to serve? Who is he breaking your heart for? It's a journey we are all on. I've enjoyed getting to know each of you and look forward to our paths crossing again as we study the Word. 

Now get out there and show God's love! 

Questions from week 4:

#1What strikes you as ironic about Jesus tearing down the wall of hostility between the Jews and Gentiles? (pg 99)

#2 Is there a particular area of your reality that the Word of God doesn't seem to relate to? Consider this and then ask the Lord to show you where His Word matters in this place. (pg 106)

Session 5 Video Recap:

Adoption... of how I love adoption... maybe it's because my husband and I are adopting. But I know for a fact it's also because I was adopted. Christ adopted me into His family. And I'm so thankful and blessed to be called HIS CHILD! Loved this video and if you didn't get to see it... go buy it now at www.lifeway.com and watch it!

#3 Understanding that God's words to us are directly connected to our joy, describe how this encouraged you to spend more time with Him and in His Word. (pg 117)

Questions from week 5:

#4 Having a faithful heart toward God looked like something in Abraham's life. Read Hebrews 11:8-12, 17-19. What did it look like? (pg 121)

#5 Where do you need to change? What steps can you take to implement this change? (Remember the Holy Spirit brings about this heart change.) (pg 136)

Session 6 Video Recap:

These women who prayed for over a year to see where and how God wanted them to serve is such an inspiration!!!

#6 Linda Leathers works with women who've been set free from prison but who need freedom of soul. What about her ministry to these women inspired you the most? (pg 143)

#7 Galatians 5:1 says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." (NIV) What does this freedom look like in your life? In what areas are you struggling to live out the freedom for which He's set you free? (pg 143)
