This week is Large Group Number 11, the last Large Group
before we go on break. We will be talking about faith this week and discussing
some of the following questions: What is faith? What is its purpose? Why should
we have faith? What does the faithfulness of God have to do with our faith? We
will also be looking at the faithfulness of some characters in the bible including
the Syrphoenician woman, the centurion, and, in the Christmas spirit, the faith
of Mary, Joseph, Simeon, and Anna (also read Hebrews
11 for a long list of those faithful to God).
I have a challenge question based on part of Psalm 4 (When
you are on your bed, search your heart and be silent):
Examine your heart for five minutes and ask yourself, ‘What
have I put my faith in?’ If you aren’t sure or find any surprises, seek out another
believer whom you trust and talk with them.
I look forward to seeing you all at this last Large Group of
the term!
Love in Christ,
Peter
