Calvary Chapel Seaside

Our new study has begun. We are inductively and interactively approaching this book to see what the Lord will speak to us. Our primary text is simply the Book of James.

We have had three sessions so far. We spend time in worship, in study and discussion, and in prayer for each other.

Dianne is leading this week’s discussion that will focus on James 1:9-11.

James 1:9-11 (New King James Version)

 

The Perspective of Rich and Poor

9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,

10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.

11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.

Read ahead and come and study the Bible with us.

NOTE: This week we still meet in the Community Room at Vista Aliso.

Next week we will be in our regular room at Lang Park.

Email Susan with any questions.

So far we have covered Pricilla, Lydia, Esther, Phoebe, Mary & Martha, and today we studied Leah with Tonia. What a great time of sharing. We talked about the contrasts between Leah and Rachel and also how that was effected by Jacob.

Next study, Sunday, April 20, will be Leah Part II by Tonia. So if you missed today, perhaps you can study up in Genesis and come join us.

Margaret brought a special lunch of chicken and crisp salad. What a treat!

Today we resumed our Ladies’ Bible Study, which will be the first Sunday of the month around 11:30 or noon.

Each lady in our group takes a turn in sharing her life as it parallels a “Woman of the Bible.” (more…)
