Book Study Notes

REMEMBER the SINGLES SOURCE class each week at Minors Lane 6:30-7:30pm…We are studying “the Bait of Satan”.


Thought for this week from “The Bait Of Satan”:
Gal. 6:8-9 “For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

Read pages 13-16 “Bait of Satan” - assignment.

Rate your opinion on a scale from “Usually True” to “Seldom true” for these statements:

  1. I offend easily.
  2. Friends seem to offend easily.
  3. People at work get offended easily.
  4. Relatives get easily offended.
  5. I expect much of others.
  6. I am easily disappointed
  7. I love conditionally.
  8. I bless to be blessed.


In the last days many will be easily offended. If we walk in a selfish love—expecting others to meet our expectations for love—then we will be easily offended when they don’t respond as we desire. The more I expect, the greater the potential offense. We do not need to position ourselves for potential offenses in our lives. Ask God to replace your expectations of others with unconditional love for them.

Remember: Whenever you give love, you are sowing to the Spirit and will eventually reap a harvest of love in due season.

If you have not purchased the recommended book "the Bait of Satan" by John Bevere, they are carrying it in the Minors Lane and Billtown bookstores for around $13.00. Please get your copy this Sunday because they only ordered 10 copies for each location. They will order more, of course, if they need to. We certainly appreciate Kenny and Doe for taking care of us in this way.


I'll send the next devotional out Sunday. Look for it. We will meet for Thursday night Source group at 6:30pm this week...oct. 23.

Remember to join us for Bowling on Nov. 14 and our Christmas Party on Dec. 19.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Becky

Next Events and Great Bike Trip

We were certainly blessed with an absolutely beautiful day to ride our bikes this past Saturday. The dinner at Mark’s Feed Store was delicious and the fellowship was wonderful! Some of us extended the evening by going to a movie later on. “Fireproof” is a must-see for all Christians. It is a perfect movie to invite your unsaved friends to see with you. Thank God for this avenue to touch the world with the truth of God’s Word.

Here’s who came Last Saturday to one or more of our activities of the day:
Wanda, Natalie, Barb O., Bekah, Geneva, Linda, Rachel, Robin, Becky, Doris, Brenda, Rocky, Michelle, Roger, Tom F., Earl, Jeremy, Vance, Gregg, Tom H., Kathy, Jonah, Philip, David

Group Devotional and Oct 4th Bike Ride

We want to thank everyone who came out on an overcast evening to ride bikes with us and have dinner last Friday evening. We enjoyed a rain-free ride and a fun dinner with 22 of you. We all voted to do it again soon…before the temperatures get too cool. SO, we are meeting at CHEROKEE PARK at 3:00 SATURDAY OCTOBER 4 to ride bikes as far as we want, then have dinner at a designated restaurant on Frankfort Avenue around 5:00. We will be in touch with the details. Mark it on your calendars and don’t let anything stand in your way of joining us that day.


I feel impressed by the Holy Spirit to take you on a journey that I went on several years ago as I studied “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere. This book revolutionized our choir and our church in Florida as we learned to live free from the deadly trap of OFFENSE. We will be going through this study in our Singles Source Group on Thursday nights at 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall at Minors Lane. Please come if you can. If not, follow with me as I email a focus thought and pages assigned to read each week beginning the last week of this month. You may email me back your thoughts and how your journey is going. Tom will also post these weekly updates on our website.

You may buy the book online or at Family Bookstores. The 10th anniversary Edition is the best because it includes a devotional supplement that is helpful.

YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THE STUDY OF THIS BOOK AND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY IT WILL TAKE YOU ON. YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

Take care and be in touch,
