Hello Church,
I’m not going to have much up front today, but do want to encourage you get outside this week and enjoy the fresh air! And, take a look at new section of the email that I should have added a long time ago! This week’s radio Bible reading is a part of the email, so even if you miss it on the radio you can still hear it!
Below are the reflection questions from Sunday school yesterday. Take some time this week to work through them. If you have question, reply to this email and let me know!
How does your free will impact your life on a daily basis?
How do you handle the difference between being sinful and being evil?
How do you work through issues of suffering?
You can find all of the handouts from our class by clicking on the following link.
