YF Basic: Holy Spirit Bible study and discussion this Friday (3rd)

Thanks for a great discussion in Sunday School regarding Samuel and living with your ears open. Some have coffee with the Creator while others just unplug their ipods on their daily bus rides, whatever the case - do your best to incline your ears to hear what the Lord is trying to say to you. We are so used to asking and requesting things from God but don't often stick around to hear what He has to say. Like that 'friend' that does all the talking making you feel unimportant in the relationship. Continue in your daily reading of Scripture, if you don't have a plan - I have one for you! Remember to congratulate and pray for the beautiful new couple (Andrew and Karen!) as they embark on a new life together. I was at the wedding rehearsal on Friday but I heard that gym night was fun for all who participated.

This Friday (3rd), we will continue our discussion series in BASIC with 'Holy Spirit'. This is a series we started way back in January but this is only the third installment because of our packed schedule. The last two Bible studies and discussions in this series have been awesome times of interaction with 'Fear God' and 'Follow Jesus'. In 'Holy Spirit' we'll discuss some pretty heavy questions like what is the chuch? Is it broken? Can it be different? If all we had was the Bible as our guide and we were to read it and then start a church, what would it look like? So take a break from your exam studies and please bring your Bibles, writing utensils and a willingness to participate and be changed.

This Sunday (5th), we will be continuing our journey through the Old Testament with a study of sin and how seriously God takes it. We'll be diving into the book of Joshua to get an idea of how sin opposes who God is and what our response to it needs to be.

Our Ouje team had another meeting on Sunday and we still need a lot of participation in regards to the submission of recipes, please remind your parents to submit a recipe for Ouje (or two - main course/dessert) if they have time.

I'll also be speaking during the English service this Sunday, so please keep me in your prayers. Let us know how we can be praying for you guys and if you'd like to catch up!

See you all on Friday!
