Hello, my Heart to Heart Sisters! Things are exciting around here at Heart to Heart as we make plans for our upcoming fall Bible study! I think we have kept it a secret long enough. It’s time for the grand unveiling!
We have chosen a magnificent, in-depth study of the very Words of Jesus from His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. The name of the study is Sermon on the Mount, by Jen Wilkin.
This is a nine-week study in which we will absorb some of the greatest words ever spoken or written! Come! Let us sit at the feet of Jesus, just as the early believers did, and learn straight from the Master Himself what it means to live as true Kingdom citizens.
If you have ever done a Jen Wilkin study, you know what a joy it is to approach the Holy Scriptures in this manner! She is a fabulous teacher! Her method is quite different from previous studies we have done at Heart to Heart. This is more of an inductive study, meaning that instead of a lot of wordy explanations from the author’s point of view, Jen leads us directly to the Bible to discover deep meaning from the words of Jesus for ourselves. We will go deep into Scripture and allow the Holy Spirit to be our teacher.
This is my favorite way to study the Bible, and I can’t wait for you to try it if you haven’t before!
We will begin this study on Monday, August 28, 2017, and wrap it up the last week of October. You will notice that we are taking a few weeks off after Steadfast Love. The reason is two-fold. First, we want you to take some time to catch up on any lessons you may have missed from our previous study, and second, I am taking some time to revamp certain aspects of our ministry. I want this to be the most exciting experience possible for you, and I also want to make sure we are ministering to your needs most effectively. I believe you will love what you see!
