  • Small Group Study Guide, Week 6

    Summary First off, I am so sorry about last week’s discussion questions! A small group leader pointed out that they were the same questions as the week before. I know I typed new questions, but somehow an old version overwrote the new version, and that’s why you all had deja vu. But we are going…

  • Day 304: Son of Trash, Son of Treasure (Mark 10:46-51)

    46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.

  • Romans 6 Recap

    Last night, we discussed Session 9 of Tommy Nelson’s Romans: The Letter that Changed the World, which covers Romans 6:1-12. When we talked about Romans 5, we all agreed that we can’t lose our salvation. We have eternal security, according to Romans 5:1-5 and John 10:28-29. But last night, we began with two key questions: What theological…

  • Job: Some Nerve!

    Who did Job think he was, telling God he would “cling to his righteousness and never let it go”?

  • Who Is Jesus? Session 6: The Resurrection

    Answers from the Listening Guide (p. 56) Jesus really died, but it was the twin of Jesus that was appearing to people. Hallucinations are usually a very individual kind of thing.
