Holy Spirit Thou Art welcome in this place!

BC, Monday 10th September 2012. Cast me not away from thy presence oh Lord, take not your Holy Spirit from me...

We studied various verses from the Bible that outlined different aspects of the Holy Spirit. After reading verses below we had to create a picture of what we had read using coloured paper. The Holy Spirit is so so great yet so personal and helpful in all our times need, despair, joy and happiness! Thank you Lord for the truths that we sang, spoke and shared about!

Genesis 1:1-2
King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Joel 2:28-29
King James Version (KJV)
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

Isaiah 11:1-2
King James Version (KJV)
11 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

BC Bakers Delight

To help keep the kitchen warm while we study we've taken to baking during our Bible Class evenings. So far we've baked afghans and chocolate chippies. On the menu next may be the making of homemade burgers or creme brulee. We haven't decided which just yet. Alongside our baking we've learnt using verses from Pauls letters to the Romans in chapter 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Using our ingredients we discussed what they tasted like alone, then combined and cooked. In the same way how life's events and experiences can make for bland, salty, sour, sweet, bitter experiences but altogether something grand - something beautiful. Yes that's right, just like that song... something beautiful, something good, all of my confusion he understood. All I had to offer him was brokeness and strife But he made something beautiful out of my life! All are welcome to attend this coming Monday - be in for a yummy treat and another neat lesson from God's amazing word!
