I’m very excited to announce our very own online
bible study! We will officially begin on
May 13th, so let’s get ready!
So what is an online bible study? If you can’t make it in person to our bible
study at the church, this is the second best thing.
Every Monday I will post a blog for the week showing our video for that
week and letting you know our weekly “assignments”. Don’t worry, this isn’t school and you won’t
get graded. Just remember, as with
anything, the more you put in the more you will get out of this.
You can choose your own time to do this
study. Please set a time apart just as
if you were going to an actual bible study.
I would set aside at least an hour a week for the online portion (the
videos are about 30 minutes each week), then make sure you have time to read each chapter and complete the participation guide portion for that week.
Don’t feel you have to do all the reading and answer all the questions
in one sitting; you can take the whole week for that!
After you check out the blog, be sure to leave a
comment. This is the fun part. Not only do we get to interact with each
other via the comment section but every time you comment your name will be
put into a drawing for a weekly prize. Ooh, prizes!
A few things to do before we begin:
1) Get
a copy of the Made to Crave book & participants guide by Lysa TerKeurst. I ordered 20 copies of each so please see me
to get your copies at a discounted rate of $16.68 (make checks payable to
Cornerstone Church, memo: Small Group).
If money is an issue, I still want you to participate, please come talk
to me or email me and we will work something out!
Note: We
don’t need to start reading yet, just bring your books to your first meeting or
online meeting
2) Check
out the Made To Crave website: madetocrave.org and see what this study is all
about
3) Invite
your friends, this is open to anyone and everyone
4) Practice
– check back to my blog periodically, see if anything new has been posted and
practice commenting if you would like
5) Pray. Pray that nothing stops you from starting
this. Pray that God will guide you in
this process. Pray that you will see
things in a whole new light. Pray that
you will be blessed. Pray that this
healthy journey we are all taking together will be life changing.
Looking forward to starting this journey
together. If you have any questions at
any time please leave a comment or email me.
Be
Blessed,
Shila
Hi Shila,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great opportunity and idea. I am willing to participate and I am sure I can get at least two people at work to participate with me. I would like to pick up my books on Sunday along with those of any fellow participants I can muster. I am looking forward to the weekly meetings and posts. I think I am also looking forward to becomming a blogger. I have never done this before.
Crave it daily!
