Our daily readings this quarter focus on “God’s Urgent Call.” God continues to call people to mission and ministry just as God has done for thousands of years. God has a call on our lives. God has a purpose for our being and has given us a mission in life. The abundant life we seek is found in that purpose, experienced as we carry out that mission. We will learn our Lessons in three divided units…
Judaean Desert
Unit 1, “Called to Be Strong,” spotlights the era of the judges. In the Book of Judges, we read how God called a series of national leaders and military commanders, known as judges, to deliver the Israelite people from their enemies. In this unit, we will read how God used people such as Deborah, Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson to do amazing things in spite of their shortcomings.
Unit 2, “Called of Prophets”, focuses on some of the well-known prophets in the Old Testament and how God used them to accomplish the divine purpose. Like the judges before them, the prophets were far from perfect people, yet God used them in mighty ways because they were willing to be used.
And, Unit 3, “Calls in the New Testament”, reveals that God continued to use ordinary people to accomplish the divine will. Readings in this unit focus on characters from the Book of Acts such as Stephen, Peter, Philip, Ananias, Paul, and Cornelius to once again show how God uses ordinary, fallible, flawed imperfect people to build the Kingdom.
Complimentary pastries and coffee are provided in the mornings! Hope you join us for a great learning experience!
