Friday Focus...A great resource to share


I love to be able to share resources that I have used.  Mitch Maher developed this series called "Clarifying The Bible" that I have used in Sunday School class settings for those wanting a better handle on the Bible as a whole.  I can not endorse this curriculum enough.

 Mitch walks through the basics of the Bible with these chapters:

  • Introduction
  • The Old Testament
  • Historical Books
  • Poetic Books
  • New Testament
  • Pauline Letters
  • Epistles
  • Revelation - One To Grow On
This is a great resource for yourself, especially if you need to see the whole picture in a uniform way.  It is also a great resource if you are sitting down with someone who has questions about God and the Bible.  Maybe someone has come to faith and this could be used to introduce them to the book that will be key to their new walk with Christ.

It is best used when the facilitator takes the time to walk through the 2 hour 10 minute video prior to using it with someone else or in a classroom setting.  Immerse yourself over and over again about how this whole book, the Bible, points toward Jesus.

You can order the workbook at www.clarifyingthebible.com which corresponds with the video but the video is now free!  The workbook can be purchased in a Kindle format or paperback.  (I should note that I am not affiliated with this resource or receiving anything for this endorsement.)


I encourage you, seasoned saint or new born baby in the faith, to carve some time this next week to work through this resource to be reminded of what you know or to know it for the first time.  This book on our laps on a Sunday morning called the Bible is an amazing resource that God has given to us.  It is His words to us.

I am so thankful to share this resource with you and I, myself, am looking forward to the next time I can lead one other or a group through this overview of the Bible.

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlie...

  Berthoud Pass Here we are at the top of Berthoud Pass.  It was a whirlwind week to conduct a " hand off " service in Wisconsin on 3/17 and then preach a Palm Sunday sermon in Colorado on 3/24.  We give God all the glory for this happening.  So there are two video links at the bottom of this blog.  One is for the Wisconsin service and the other is for the Colorado service.  I racked up over 12,000 in the last 7 weeks.   I love to take these pictures sitting from the front row of chairs and listening to the one God has provided for the church I had been serving for 20 months.  I now have 3 and I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave us to serve Him in this type of ministry over the last 5 years.  It has been great to add to our daily prayer list Zach in Maine, Chris in Ohio and now Stephen in Wisconsin. This was our set up for the 2000+ mile trip.  No " hiccups " except for the strong eastern winds in Kansas.  Of course e...

Resurrection Sunday in a new space...Matthew 27.62-28.20

Image
  Resurrection Sunday has come and gone but it was a sweet day to be with the gathered saints of the Stillwater Community Chapel .  We are venturing through the Gospel of Matthew and this Sunday will take us back to Matthew 1.1 but last Sunday we were in Matthew 27.62-28.20.  It was a lot to cover so the white board was truly a help to keep me on track.  This year in my Resurrection Sunday message, I focused on the contrast of the cover-up story of the disciples stealing the body of Jesus fueled by a bride and the commission of speaking of a risen Lord fueled by boldness . After the service upstairs, we ventured downstairs to the lower level and had a great meal together.  The conversations around the tables allowed us to continue to talk about the passage of Scripture we covered upstairs.  Maybe this is a very informal picture of what happens at the  Waushara Community Church called the " Going Deeper " classes of the Come For More hour following t...
