A new Bible Study!
The beginning of a new year is often a real adventure! It is a fresh start, a time to do something new or different. I hit the ground running with a brand new Bible study (check out this preview of the video teaching). With the first week of homework completed I am excited about the treasures that the Lord will reveal over the course of 10 weeks. Just going through Esther 1 was interesting. The setting is ancient Persia and the lifestyle of the rich and royal was very decadent. It was very easy to see that we really haven't come all that far in our modern world. The headlines in the newspapers and on TV bear out what excess and decadence is doing to America. We are such stiff-necked people aren't we! We have so much to learn! I am looking forward to the group discussion of this week's homework and I am definitely looking forward to the things I will dig out of the Word during the upcoming week!
Hope you the Lord is revealing treasure to you today!

That sounds like a great Bible study. I tried to do the Bible study at my church in November but with my work scedule I couldn't make the classes and there were only a few of us. I always feel bad for my Pastor because whe plans really great things but can never get enough involvement.
Enjoy the book!
Hi Sandy!!
Thanks for stopping by this morning!!
How did I miss this study on Esther? Is it too late to join in? Did I miss too much to catch up?
No, we're not much changed, unfortunately. Many still chasing after the same "things" in our lives instead of chasing after Jesus.
Just so you know (you don't have to go back!) I was in the shower getting ready for work, and I remembered that I forgot to write the most important part of my post on ABC's!! So, I went back and edited it!!
You should join in!! It's a lot of fun and a great way to discover new gems of Scripture and where God is leading His people.
Have a wonderful day!!
Beth
