Sunday Recap!!!
Lesson Recap
Boy. Is this a tough one! We ended our study of Crazy Love today with a flurry of questions on how to apply what we have learned. We started the class out by asking the question "What in the world does this study of Crazy Love mean to me?". We shared these responses around our tables.
We also looked at the pile of manure statement on page 169. We found a biblical reference to this thought in Mark 28: 19-20.
In this whole chapter, Chan reminds us that if we stop pursuing Christ, we are letting our relationship with Him deteriorate. How can we prevent this from happening?
When Chan looked at Hebrews 12:1, he thought that it means that those in Heaven are observing us here on earth. How does this help us to run the good race? He also states that what we do reverberates through heaven and into eternity. How is this so?
We looked at what keeps us going those times that we struggle in our lives in Christ. Those times when we want to throw in the towel or call time out. What keeps us going is the gift and power we have received in the Holy Spirit as read in John 16: 7-8; 13. We also read Eph 5:18 that being filled with the Spirit is a continuous process in which God does the filling!
What do YOU want to be doing when Christ comes back?
