I am so excited for the opportunity to be teaching a class on the book of Proverbs for the ladies at Richland Creek Community Church. We will meet weekly in Room 123 from 6-7:30 p.m. each Sunday night starting TONIGHT! I will be utilizing my blog to provide weekly recaps of the study of our previous class. So if anyone misses, or for my out of state friends, you can check here to see what we covered. I hope you will become a regular "follower" of my blog (just click "follow" way down at the bottom of the screen). Thanks!
In each class we will study the previous week’s reading (see list below). We will take time for prayer and fellowship, as well as spend time in small accountability groups. In our small group time we will review the Scriptures each person has chosen to memorize each week. Please make every effort to attend class weekly and feel free to bring a friend!
A word about our Accountability Small Groups: These are designed for you to have a deeper, more intimate relationship with a few people in our class. Each week please encourage each other outside of class with a phone call, email or card. Just to say ‘HI’ or see how the study or Scripture memory is going for your group members. If there are specific prayer requests shared by members of your group, pray for them weekly (if not daily) and ask how they are doing when you make your weekly contact. By each of us contacting just the other two members of our group, we will all be contacted by at least two people each week. That, in turn, will keep our attendance up and our group growing in our spiritual walk. Thank you for participating in the accountability of your fellow sisters in Christ!
I look forward to us enjoying this journey in God’s Word together!

ReplyDeletewhy Proverbs on Sunday nights? To: "KNOW wisdom and instruction, DISCERN the sayings of understanding,RECIEVE instruction in wise behavior,Righteousness, justice, and equality, GIVE prudence to the naive, INCREASE in learning, ACQUIRE wise counsel - and to understand a Proverb : )
ReplyDelete"The fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge" Proverbs 1:7a
ReplyDelete"fear"= awe, reverence
"reverence" = feeling of deep respect, love, and awe
"awe" = mixed feeling of reverence, fear, and wonder
ok
"knowledge" = the range of information or understanding
So, I cannot even begin to have knowledge until I have fear of the LORD (which does not come from me but from the LORD)
isn't it amazing how, no matter where you look in the Bible, salvation through Jesus can be found. Through God's grace He gives us fear for Him which is the foundation on which He builds our knowledge of Him. Thank you, LORD for your grace which I do not deserve!!
