Life Group,
Ok, here we go. The last "Life Sentence" of the series. But first, we spoke about spiritual leadership in class last Saturday. Always remember, that someone is looking to you for leadership. One theory is that leadership is 10% skill and 90% character. Lets all devote ourselves to the 90%. Ezra was a great example of Spiritual Leadership. He was characterized by 4 things: knew the Word, faith in God's protection, signs of God's hand on his work and a healthy fear of God's power.
Are you characterized like Ezra? Focus and develop these areas and become a better leader. Please spend time in the Word this week and lets discuss Nehemiah on Saturday.
IN HIM,
Brian

Hey Gang,
Are you a somebody? Don't let society tell you yes or not. Let God SCREAM a resounding, YES!! In His eyes, we are all somebodies. In the world's eyes, Esther was a nobody, but how that was proven to be false. She saved an entire people group, the Jews, from certain destruction. She rose from orphan Jew, Queen of Persia and a hero of the time.
What position are you in for a time such as this? Are you trusting in God to use that Somebody status? Look around this week and act on opportunities to serve the Lord for others sake.
Now we move onto Ezra. Please be in the Word this week. The more you spend in the Word the more you can contribute in class and share what God has put on your heart.
IN HIS NAME!
Brian

Praises & Prayers 12/5/09 Update
Thank you to who ever posted the announcements in my absence, I'm not feeling well. I do however have a prayer request... Several weeks back I asked prayers for Lindsey Fowler, the pregnant 19 year old that my teaching partner took in. Well, my prayer request is now that you pray for her and her unborn daughter as Lindsey has now left Joella's house and gone back to Huntsville, we think. We aren't sure really where she is. She is not returning Joella's calls or text's. She is due the first of Feb. One of the last things she told Joella was "that starting over was to hard, being trashy was easier." My heart just breaks for her baby.
Thanks so much for all of you who offered her help while she was here. It means more to me than you will ever know.
Blessings to you all this week.
