Girlfriends, don't you just love Sunday School? I'm telling you it is just like being in Church to me and for me. I get fed, I get encouraged, I get a cool drink of LIVING WATER when I come in prepared to meet My Jesus.
We talked yesterday morning about the seed of promise through Abraham, we talked about the Law being given to the children of Israel, and we just got to touch on the gift of grace through Jesus Christ as our hour was up.
The reason why I'm so excited yet this morning is I have moved into the book of John and chapter 1 verse 17 just leapt of the page this morning with new meaning and FRESHNESS. "For the law was given through Moses; God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ." Then chapter 3 verse 36, "And all who believe in God's Son have eternal life."
For any of us that attended the LPM Live event or Simulcast this past weekend were encouraged to sip with a straw The Living Water. Hang with me as I've sipped with my straw this morning and I just about can't contain myself to stay seated, chapter 4 of John vs 34, "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work." The very words of Jesus in this verse, and yet I truly believe that our nourishment as we are found sipping through the straw is doing the will of God.
Father, Thank You for freshness, for new mornings, for Sunday School, for Your WORD. Thank You Father for confirmation, for the Holy Spirit, and for the beautiful gift of grace. Grace that rewards like we never could have hoped, dreamed or imagined. Father I love how Your Word is a perpetual spring, always giving to me as I come with a parched soul in need of nourishment. Praise You Father, Praise You. In the MIGHTY Saving Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lovingly,
Yolanda at Higher Grounds

- I love GOD, my Man, and each of the ladies that God has brought into my life to share life with. He is my all! 1 Timothy 1:15-16 is my life verse, saved by God's Grace and outstretched hand. What are you currently working through as a bible study?
God's story so beautifully woven into my own story. Click on my picture to read my testimony.
Don't you just love the opportunity to tell a good story?
Unspeakable joy as Melissa was hoping to meet me, truly my cup over flows!!!

I love my SS class too! We have a wonderful and loving group of ladies in there who reflect Christ beautifully.
I like the thought on sipping with a straw the Word of God.
Much love to you!
I love sharing our faith with others in sunday school and other small groups. We are able to love and encourage more in small groups.
Blessings, andrea
Since our church is meeting in a movie theatre, I definitely miss the Sunday School setting. But I am thrilled to get into our small group on Wednesday and just "spur each other on".
Praise You God for Your Living Water. I love how when we com thirsty, we leave thoroughly satisfied. What LOVE!

That whole section of the book of John where Jesus speaks is so rich. There is always something fresh to draw up from it.
Yep, I love SS too, although now in the Baptist denom. they are called Life Groups, which is fine, but it will always be SS to me.
I am so thankful for the Living Water that flows so freely for all who will dare to sip or drink. He is so amazing.

We do not have SS at our church any longer. I wish we did. Last summer I was privileged to teach SS at another church about 40 minutes west of here. It was a small little church with about 15-20 ladies in attendance for the SS class. It was soooo special and very precious. I miss that time with them. And what an attentive and interactive class they were!
I love God's promise to Abraham... and especially in Galatians 3 where it says that God gave the gospel to Abraham in advance! That's what the Isaac sacrifice deal was all about - a word visual to show in advance what the gospel would be. Wow! That's our God!

Yolanda,
I just love it when verses of scripture just find a whole new meaning one day. Like God just wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to you.
It is so true that His words just refresh us so much that we can give back what we just received!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I so love SS! His Word is awesome no matter when we partake of it!
I am sipping with you my friend.
Thank you for that encouragement. I need to drink from that cup more often. It's so nice to visit all these bloggers who love Jesus!
