The Last Days...

This Wednesday nights bible study was about the "Last Days" and being aware of the things that will take place in these times...

2 Timothy 3:1-7~ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded,

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Altar Worker...

Being Wise In Life...

This Wednesday night's bible study was about being wise in life. Preparing now for your future, like ants prepare their food in summer. Staying close to the "rock" which is God and the church, like conies stay close to rocks for they are their

safety net. Working together to get things done, like the locusts that band together, and staying determined to reach your goal, like the spider who doesn't mind respinning it's web. No matter how many times it's been torn down!

Proverbs 30:24-28 ~There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

We Can Resist...

This Wednesday nights bible study was continued from last week's teaching about sin, and how Jesus condemned sin in the flesh. So that we also can resist sin in the flesh. When we walk after things of the spirit.

Romans 8:2-4 ~For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
