Praise God and Congratulations on the baptisms on Sunday!
This week...
This week, we discussed the woman searching for forgiveness who wept on Jesus's feet, wiped them with her hair and dumped perfume on them (Luke 7:36-50).
Home study: Based on the example of this woman, how can you demonstrate your tratitude to Jesus for forgiving you?
Next week....

Not sure about you, but I feel "more smarter" knowing more about the context of the famous verse of John 3:16. :)
Today...
In our series of "Encountering Jesus", we talked about Jesus's encounter with Nicodemus (John 3:1-21).
Further Study...
In light of verse 14, read Numbers 21: 4-9. How does that story illustrate our spiritual need and what Jesus came to do?
Next week...
Caught in the Act. John 8:1-11. The discussions are independent of one another, so please come when you can!
Things to know about...
~ Friday, January 20th from 5 to 9pm - fund raiser for Brian Anderberg at Mitchell Christian. Pork Feed, music, raffles, etc.

This week
Verse 1: Faith is being SURE of what we HOPE for and CERTAIN of what we do not see.
Today we discussed Hebrews Chapter 11 (aka the Faith Chapter). Casey gave us many scriptures to look up that are associated with this chapter and will help us to understand the full story and TRUE faith that people like Noah, Abraham and others demonstrated.
Self Questions for this week:
Abraham carried a child that God had promised to populate the earth with, a child Abraham had waited to be blessed with until he was 100 years old, with knife in hand to a sacrificial alter because God asked him to. (Gen 22) We have hundreds of promises documented from God to us in the bible. Do you believe them?
Next week
We will be finishing up Hebrews with Chapters 12 & 13.
Then Christmas Sunday and New Years Sunday there will be no adult sunday school. We will reconvene the Sunday after that doing a new study. Start talking to others that you think God is asking you to invite.
Prayer Requests
~ MCHS students who are spiritually struggling
~ Children's program tonight at 6:30pm
~ Aaron Terveen (Elissa Walz's brother) - transfer to Denver
~ Prunty Family dealing with cancer
~ Kari & Abby (Missy Ortman's friend) still in hospital
Ways to serve this holiday season
If you would like to help a shut in family or person this Christmas season by visiting, gifting, etc, please contact Traci Moore (traci.moore@k12.sd.us) to see what you can do.
Have a great week,

How can you help someone this week who is struggling to keep the faith?

Have a wonderful and blessed day,
Fredel
