Fearful Silence

ABF Family,

 

I hope eveyone has enjoyed a great Memorial Day weekend.  The weather held out and it was beautiful.  I really appreciate the discussion in class.  We need to be aware that we live in a post-christian society and we need to subrscribe to God's plan not man's plan.  Have faith, sacrifice and serve for the sake of the Gospel. 

 

So we are finishing up our study in Mark.  What an icredible study about Authentic Discipleship.  I hope everyone learned a lot and are changed because of the time we spent in Mark.  Please take the time to study the Word and have a blessed week. 

 

IN HIS Debt,

 

Brian

God's Plan

ABF Family, I hope everyone has had an awesome week.  I know your thinking, Brian forgot the word of the week.  Nope not this time.  I actually planned it.  We have a real treat this weekend.  We are going to discuss God's plan for our lives. Raymond alluded to a great moving of the spirit in his life last week and he has agreed to share God's work in his life.  Come tonight prepared to hear an amazing story and please be prepared to share any that you have.  How is God's Plan working through your life? This promises to be a great night.  IN HIM, Brian
