We've just finished Wilberforce's A Practical View of Christianity and are jumping right into Reality: 7 Truths from Experiencing God by Henry and Richard Blackaby starting Thursday, April 10th.This study is a departure for us. You see, this group, as part of its foundational format, studies only the works of deceased authors. Both Blackabys are very much alive, though, and we wish them both well. Our impetus to do this study is to be in solidarity with our church body as a whole, most of whom are also doing this study (or a variation) during this season. We look forward to what God has in store for us, both individually and collectively.
The schedule for this study will be fairly straightforward. The book has seven DVD segments, a weekly group discussion and daily reading for forty days. We'll come together, enjoy some fellowship, eat some snacks, then catch up on how everyone's doing. We'll then dive into the discussion and end with prayer time together.
Please purchase the book prior to group if possible. They should be available for purchase at New Life Lakeview this Sunday, and I will have an extra copy or two. Christian bookstores and online book sellers should also have them available. They're only $4.
If you'd like to join us, you are welcome. We meet Thursdays from 7-9pm at our place near Montrose and Ashland. Parking is usually not difficult, and we are close to the Montrose Brown Line stop. Contact me for directions. We are a mixed group (men, women, married and single) and both my wife Jen and I are involved in the group.
