I started reading Colosians yesterday and I remembered why I love that book so much. Read chapter 1 verses 24-29 really looking at 29. What does that mean for us as leaders in the church? Make 30 observations on this section.

Acts 28
I was reading in Acts 28 today and Paul quoted Isaiah when he was talking about the Pharisees who, "Although hearing they do not hear and while seeing they do not see..." I think its crazy that some people hear the gospel and some people see the gospel in action but still do not believe nor do they obey. Why? Check out Matt 13:10-16 and write out 30 observations on the text. Whats Jesus talking about and what is the reason for people not hearing and understanding? Your observations may be questions or just obvious facts about the text. Try to find out everything about it.

MEETING COMING UP!
We haven't met in a while and so its time for another meeting. Goodness i've been slacking and im sorry. So we are going to meet in 2 weeks...not nxt week but the week after which is the 17th. Spread the word and let everyone know that its coming. I have exciting news and some stuff I wan to try and also some stuff that I said we were gonna do that has kinda died out. Tell people to check the blog when you can...you're all awesome!
Luke 9:23-25
Read the passage. This isn't something we normally like to do, deny ourselves. We like to indulge in the flesh and allow our flesh determine what we do. This is contrary to what Jesus is saying. he says, "...if anyone would follow me he must deny himself..." What does that mean? is he really saying to not have the things you want? Is he really saying we must suffer? Is being a Christian easy or hard? I think we need to deny our flesh more...I think we need to do it all the time. Stop being selfish, stop thinking of what you want and do what the father wills. Allow him to move in you and use you in incredible ways. Is it worth it to live for yourself or to live for Him? We have this short amount of time to live for him and we must do it! WE MUST DO IT!!!!!
