Weekly Oil plus a Fill Up

This week's assignment is posted below, but first I wanted to "fill you up" with some much needed encouragement. Our pastor, Danny Jones, sent the following message to spur us on in our pursuit of knowing God through the Scriptures:

"I wanted to send this note to everyone on the Route 66 list and let you know how much I appreciate your diligence, love for Scripture, the Savior, and our church! I absolutely love the way you are working through our statement of faith (see sidebar)! Brilliant idea and one that I trust will bear much fruit. May you be filled with encouragement to continue on your journey."

Now that we've been duly encouraged, here's our assignment:
Read Hebrews 12:18-29
Read Bible Speaks Today pages 236 - 247

Finish reading For Further Study assignment - Disciplines of Grace, by Jerry Bridges.

Still

I don't know about you, but this journey, although slower for me, has been more difficult. I have found it more of a challenge just to be still! It's time to pull off to a Rest Area and enjoy the scenery for a moment. May you be encouraged!

One Of Those Nights...

I wanted to tell you...I had one of those nights last night where sleep doesn't ever come completely, and the Lord led me to pray for you! I wanted you to know that I asked our generous Father in Heaven to pour fresh grace upon you. I pray you sense His help in all things today, including reading His Word.

We have made it three-fourths of the way on our journey. May I encourage you to continue shuffling in the right direction...if this is all you're able to do? The goal is to run, but this isn't always possible. So whatever strength God gives - let's hide His Word in our hearts daily.

Enjoying the journey - one step at a time!

Good Afternoon! We're back on route from our detour of Faith! Here are your reading assignments for the coming week:

Read Hebrews 12:1-2 (You might even want to memorize it!)

Read Bible Speaks Today pages 219 - 230. Part of this will be reviewing portions of Hebrews chapter 11, but we don't want to miss what Raymond Brown teaches us about these verses.

Have a great week!
