Northchase ESL/Bible Study 9-15-09

(Photo taken from last week.)

In spite of the local deluge of rain and rough weather, everything went well tonight. By the Lord's grace, the worst of the weather slacked off around 6:45, so folks were able to make it out. We continue to be thankful for all the volunteers, especially in child-care. Child-care gives parents the ability to focus on their English while we watch their small children.

The beginning class studied health and the human body, while the Intermediate class worked on past and future verb tenses. We continue to go through redemptive history in the Intermediate class, which is awesome. This consists of summarizing climactic events in redemptive history, which they are required to read and digest each class. Many are hearing these Biblical accounts for the first time. Last week we studied Moses and the Law; this week we studied Joshua and they cycle of repentance and rebellion. Next week will be the United Kingdom of Israel under Saul, David, and Solomon.

The Bible study is always a blessing to teach, which combines both classes for about 15 minutes, and we continue to go through the miracles of Jesus. This week we focused on His healing of the leper as we emphasize the distinctness of Jesus. May the Lord continue to open the eyes of their hearts through these accounts of Scripture. May He also convict us as we strive to be patient with them, lest we forget how far He has taken us.

Sinners we were!

Now saints we be!

Let us strive to glorify Thee!

Amen! Amen!
