  • Bible Study Corner – Vol. 60, No. 17

    Thanks to each and every one of our teachers who have found a way to continue Bible Study. We have had several requests for meeting in person so we will roll out this option on Sunday, September 6 at 9:45–10:45 a.m. While this is not meant to replace your existing Sunday School class, it is an option for those who would like to attend a Bible Study in person at this time.

    The Options are as follows:

    • Dave and Donna Potts will be leading a study in the Dining Room using the dated Lifeway Curriculum – “Through the Bible.”
    • Doug Monasmith will be leading a study on the book of Genesis in the Chapel.
    • Gloria Fox will be taking “A Fresh Look at Jesus,” by seeing His life from a Jewish perspective in the Fellowship Hall.

    Again, these are in-person studies for a limited time at the church and are not meant to replace your current Bible Study class that is on Zoom or some other method. Due to limited capacities, reserve your spot by signing up for classes on our website.

    In addition, in-person Men’s and Women’s Bible studies will begin on Wednesday, September 9 from 6:00–7:00 p.m.

    Women’s Bible study will be resuming the Beth Moore study of the Patriarchs beginning with Jacob. Men’s Fraternity will be continuing with their study.

    Children will also be meeting on Wednesday from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Kathy will provide more details to our families on what the children’s hour will encompass.

    Looking forward to seeing you in Bible Study, even if it is in an abbreviated way.

    We still are mostly meeting virtually for Bible Study. If you would like to join a virtual group, please contact gloria@feefeebc.org.

    We are in the process of trying to work out ways to meet again on Sunday mornings without violating the St. Louis County mandates. Updates to come soon. In the meantime, hide His word in your heart! You will be blessed.

    This is what God has to say about His word in Isaiah 55:10-11 (CSB): “For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do.”

    Would you like to know God’s word more intimately? Contact Gloria at gloria@feefeebc.org to join a virtual Bible Study. Anyone who is available is invited to participate in Adult VBS July 27-30 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There are more details in the Prime Time section.

  • Bible Study Corner – Vol. 60, No. 13

    We are in the planning stage of returning to Bible Study. To avoid crowds, classes might be meeting in person at church on different days or evenings of the week. More details will soon follow, so stay tuned!

    In the meantime, many virtual Bible Studies are continuing and if you would like to be plugged in to one, please contact email gloria@feefeebc.org or text.

  • Prime Time – Vol. 60, No. 12

    I’m always amazed at how God’s timing is so perfect. I’m not sure why I haven’t fully come to expect this at all times but it still often surprises me.

    At this writing, I had just read Chapter 2 of John, and was also preparing the Women of the Word’s Bible Study for the upcoming weekly Zoom meeting. I kept coming back to John 2! In this chapter, John records Jesus’ first miracle – turning water into wine. John, as you know, records seven signs to show us that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Water to wine is the first sign. This miracle/sign is recorded only in the Gospel of John as is the raising of Lazarus from the dead!

    Coincidently, the women are studying “The Rock, the Road and the Rabbi,” which takes us on a tour of places in the Holy Land where Jesus walked and helps us understand things from a Jewish perspective instead of our tendency to Westernize scripture. We started last week in Bethlehem and this week went to look at Nazareth for Jesus’ life. This was before He started His public ministry and His first miracle, when He was still hanging out with mom and the family and His first five disciples.

    To explain the importance of having a Jewish perspective on Scripture, Rabbi Jason, a Messianic Jew, helped us understand the mistranslation of Jesus and His earthly father’s occupation. The Greek word “tekton” means builder. Translators of the KJV writing in England where trees are in abundance determined the occupation to be a carpenter but the Rabbi explains that Jesus was most likely a stone mason explaining that the only trees in Nazareth were sycamore fig, balsam, and olive trees.  When you think about this, it explains why Jesus uses analogies about cornerstones and tells us that upon this rock, I will build my church.

    But, as usual, I digress. Moses first sign to the Egyptians was transforming the Nile into blood bringing death.  Deuteronomy 18:18 promises a prophet greater than Moses and that points us to Jesus, who is above all. It is not surprising then that Jesus’ first sign was to turn water to wine – a sign of life! While water is necessary for life, wine is a picture of God’s super abundant grace. Throughout Scripture, wine is symbolic of God’s grace and our joy as a result. Wine is one of the primary signs of the abundant blessings we have through the transformation that comes in our life because Jesus came to redeem us. It was time to celebrate. Are you experiencing the abundant life of being in His kingdom here and now? If not, ask Him to transform your life to one of abundance as you submit to Him.
