Welcome to Week Thirty of our Bible study! Last week we discussed what our Father expects of us. This week we will continue that theme and look at two specific passages. Again, we will ask that question, “What does our Father expect of us?” We will look at the parables of the wise and foolish builder (Luke 6:47-49) and the discourse found in John 15:1-17, where our Lord discusses the vine and branches. Although different passages, I consider them to be connected and address the fundamental question of expectation. The answer is quite simple but plays out over a lifetime, and this can make abiding a bit challenging at times. I think this is why we have the whole Scripture to consider and reflect upon rather than isolated passages. And as a Believer, nothing can be more critical and fundamental than building our faith and daily experience on the right foundation.
We will have lots to discuss this week! As always, I welcome
your participation and look forward to seeing you all Sunday evening at 7:30
pm.
About Zoom: We will use Zoom for this Bible
study. If you are using a computer, just type in www.zoom.com and select “Join a Meeting” at the
top of the page, then enter the meeting ID: 696 778 0839.
If you are
using a phone, iPad or other portable device, then you will need to download
the free Zoom app. Once you have the Zoom app, just open it and select “Join” a meeting, and use this
ID: 696 778 0839. I would encourage everyone to go
into their Zoom settings and add in a name, at a minimum, so everyone can see
who you are.
Alternately,
if you don’t want to download the app, you can open your device browser and
enter www.zoom.com and follow the instructions above.
Regardless
of what device you use, once you join, you will enter a waiting room and then I
will admit you. I will typically open the meeting about 10 minutes early so
folks can get joined and work through any technical issues. You are free to
join with or without video, but if you want to talk, which I really encourage
everyone to do, please turn your camera on so we can see you.
I have the
meeting set up so that it automatically mutes everyone when you join, so don’t
forget to “unmute” when you want to talk. Again, I encourage everyone to
discuss topics, answer questions, ask questions or otherwise participate in the
discussion. Please jump in if you have information to help clarify a point or
you just need to talk. It’s all fine!
