STUFF FROM THE WEB—Steps of Faith

Taking Steps of Faith
from Re:Jesus

“Jesus was someone who stretched the faith of people around him. He constantly dared people to see things differently, to act differently, and to take steps of faith towards God.

“These pages are here to help you take a step of faith. Just click a shoe! Some of the steps are quite small – they’re more like shuffles of faith. Others are a lot bigger – they’re leaps of faith. All of them offer a chance to discover what you believe and how you want to live your life. And who knows? They might also help you discover more about God.”

Check out the website . Take some steps of faith.

[YOUR CONTRIBUTION COULD BE HERE]

I know some of you write… if you’d like to contribute your thoughts—on anything from God to the best place for hotdogs—then this spot’s for you.

=============================
THE GATHERING—The Matrix?

The question for the week:
How do you know what is real?

=============================
TUESDAY BIBLE STUDY-- The book of Beginnings: Genesis 1-11

Last week we looked at Genesis 1 (especially verses 26-31, the creation of humanity).

Next week we’ll look at Genesis 2 (focusing on verses 18-25, the creation of woman).

Get a headstart. Spend one of your personal worship times reading over Genesis 2:4-25. Compare the creation story in chapter two with the creation story in chapter one. What is different? What is the same? Why do you think Moses included this second telling of creation?
