Good morning, everyone. I hope the remainder of the weekend was relaxing and restful. Brian did a great job condensing two lessons into one class. As with every topic we've covered this fall, if you have questions or lingering curiosity about any part of the discussion, feel free to contact Brian or me. We can discuss the topic further with you or point you to resources so you can do your own research and investigation.
This week, we will look at the meaning of a set apart life. What does it mean for us to pursue holiness and be holy? Attached is the Word for the Week to help you prepare for class. I'm looking forward to a great discussion with everyone.
Have a great week!
John

Humanity of Christ
ABF Family,
A great big thank you to John for his lessons over the past few weeks. It is such a joy for me to have the opportunity to sit, listen and learn. Admittedly as John spoke on Saturday, I was already thinking of ideas for this weeks lesson, Identifying with the Humanity of Jesus.
This topic promises to be an awesome one to discuss. I look forward to what God is going to reveal to me as I prepare. I ask everyone to prepare and listen as well. Do not forget to be a 7-5-2 family. Pray, Pray, Pray. We can never pray enough. Have those conversations with God and remember prayer is not all about you talking. Listen! He has a lot to say.
Be Blessed this week and Bless others as well,
Brian
