I Wish I COULD HAVE A FRESH START

Speaking of fresh starts and new born babies, we've finally started recording our weekend teaching conversations on audio. We've been talking about this for a while, but finally someone got tired of waiting and figured out how to pull it off. (Thanks Chad!)

What does this mean for you? If you missed the Sunday adult teaching you don't have to read text summaries here anymore. You can experience the teaching conversation like everyone else did. Hear what everyone else heard. In fact- if you close your eyes- it's almost like we're right there with you.

OK, maybe that's a little creepy. Anyway, you can find a recording of this past Sunday's teaching HERE.

Please be patient. We're still working out glitches. In the weeks ahead we'll make some tweaks to improve things.

With all of these new happenings, I'll stop posting extensive written summaries of the teaching conversations here. For now you'll still be able to find links to the scriptures we explored, some questions for personal reflection or discussion with a few friends, and the occasional picture or link to something we referenced.

So enjoy and thank Chad Miller if/when you see him!

SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:
Luke 1:67-79
Lamentations 3:21-23
Luke 3:2-6
Luke 4:16-21

REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: Knowing what you know today, what's one thing you'd go back and do differently in your life?

Q: What's one area of your life you'd like to have a fresh start in this new year?

Q: How would you like your life with God to be different this year?

Q: Of all the word pictures of fresh starts in the scriptures we discussed, which one resonates most with you today and why?

Q: God offers each of us a fresh start today. Do we really want it? Enough to engage/surrender to Him more than we have in the past?
