| “Lifted Up” moved to Thursday nights… Lifted Up Continuous Bible Class began its third year of weekly classes on Thursday, January 4. The class will be held each Thursday from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the large classroom of the lower Fellowship Hall. Lifted Up promotes life-long, habitual reading and study of the entire Word of God. In one year the student will know Jesus Christ more personally and His Word more thoroughly than ever before. The evening Lifted Up class is called “Lifted Up—Reference Edition.” The instructors, Franklyn and Shelley Pfeil, hope the longer class time will enable the fast-paced class to slow down enough to actually linger over the precious Word for a moment, to field questions and encourage response. We also hope that the evening edition of Lifted Up will enable those who attend other churches to take this unique whole-Bible course. If you are thinking of committing to the life-changing spiritual discipline that Lifted Up will instill, think about that friend of yours (from LAC or from another denomination) and bring him/her along. Think of that neighbor who doesn’t want to get near “church” but might have an interest in learning more about this Jesus that everybody’s always talking about. The class is presented in spirit and in truth—just ask anyone who’s been there!--and in a way that will teach and inspire the young, old, male, female, believer, disciple, Jesus freak, seeker, or skeptic; the lukewarm, on fire, wondering, wandering, sophisticated, jaded, lost, hurt, burdened, backslid, born again, bummed out, been there, done that, “just looking,” just about to lose it…Just about everybody! Q. Can you really teach me what the Bible is all about? A. The Bible is all about Jesus--on every page, Old Testament and New Testament. Give Him 15 minutes every day (to read) and 90 minutes every Thursday (to study with others) and He can teach you to hear His voice, and follow Him. (John 10:27) Q. Can Jesus really help me with my life? A. Yes. First, you will be in love like never before—or maybe for the first time in your life. Love quickens your step and gets your focus off yourself. Add to that the fact that the One you’ve flipped over is the Creator of the universe--and fills your heart with His Spirit, your every day with resurrection power--and, yeah, help’s on the way. Q. Promise? A. Guaranteed… My Word which goes forth from My mouth Will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) |
