Kay led us last week through Week 1: God-centered, far-sight, eternal perspective lenses with Abel, Enoch and Noah as Hebrews 11 guides. Then had some major issues with recording our chat, the most of which had something to do with turning it on.

We talked about considering the lenses through which we view life. How God doesn’t ask us to do something without the plan or on our own. That God’s covenant is made by Him, kept by Him – for us, not dependent on us, but so often played out through us (Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, David, …). God is specific and true to his plan. He operates in realms and ways never before seen or conceived by man. And in the most amazing way – He touches lives of those involved through situations and circumstances that point to the greater story behind the story – as He will in spades through Abraham’s surrendered-steps (next week’s lesson)

Thanks for sharing your Tuesdays with us. What could be more fun than contemplating Scripture together?! :)

Candy led us this week in a terrific overview of the books of Hebrews to tee us up for our weeks in chapter 11 – considering the “ancients” who have gone before us: their faith and God’s faithfulness in their lives.

Then we walked through Day 1 together, lingering in the enormity of God found in Genesis 1, displayed in Hebrews 11:3

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.“

But rather try to cover it all now, here’s the link to our fancy recording ;)

Candy wraps-up and addresses suffering:

Candy led us through Jude’s letter to the beloved. Jude encourages, warns, the encourages again – offering reminders of who the readers are in Christ.

But rather than go into it all, here’s our chat:

Peter closes his second letter summing it all up – encouraging readers to act, to “be on guard,” don’t be swayed by this world “and fall from you secure position,” and grow in grace.

Which takes us back to the beginning of the letter – worth a read. But rather than go into it all, here’s our chat:

This week, Candy led us through the 2nd chapter of 2 Peter. We had rich discussion on societal landscape, hope, Truth and the challenges of living out faith in the midst of a secular culture that seems to be averse to the absolute Gospel Truth (audio link below).

This week, Candy led us through the last chapter of 1 Peter (how can we already be through this terrific book?!) We had rich discussion on leadership, loving, humility, setting our minds on the things above and more.

But rather than go over it all, here’s a link to our chat this week (as well as last! – sorry about that :)

This beautiful chapter takes into ares of life, including suffering, through which the Lord continues to teach us about himself. Especially the action point of faith and trust and the gift that comes with not being able to see. We simply cannon rest in what we cant see on our own strength. But rather than go into it all now, here is our chat:

We began our time together by revisiting Peter’s reminders of our identity. In his letter, Peter encourages readers and us to consider that we are: elect exiles, an inheritance (undefiled, unfading), children of God, called to obey, pure in heart, born again, chosen and precious, living stones, a Holy priesthood (not to be put to shame), and so much more. Then Candy led us through chapter 3’s discussion of submission and other challenging topics.

But rather than cover it all, here’s our chat:
