SR High Bible Study 9-17-08 @ the Youth House

We had a great discussion, on our Character, and the Refining process.

We learned that the dictionary defines "Refine" as the following:
-to reduce to a pure state as with sugar, metal, or oil
-to free from moral imperfection
-to improve by pruning or polishing
-to free from what is coarse, vulgar, or uncouth, as with a refined person

We also looked at what the bible says about refining:

Proverbs 17:3 (New Living Translation)
3 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
but the Lord tests the heart.

Malachi 3:2-4 (New Living Translation)
2 “But who will be able to endure it when he comes? Who will be able to stand and face him when he appears? For he will be like a blazing fire that refines metal, or like a strong soap that bleaches clothes. 3 He will sit like a refiner of silver, burning away the dross. He will purify the Levites, refining them like gold and silver, so that they may once again offer acceptable sacrifices to the Lord. 4 Then once more the Lord will accept the offerings brought to him by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as he did in the past.

Zechariah 13:9 (New Living Translation)
9 I will bring that group through the fire
and make them pure.
I will refine them like silver
and purify them like gold.
They will call on my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘These are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

Tuesday Jr. High Live 9-9-08

WOW! We had a big crowd today! We had 10 or 11, thought 11 but now looking through the pictures maybe 10? They move around so much, hard to keep up. :) Here are some pictures. We had a good study, continuing on renewal and what the world tells us about renewal.

Visiting Jabaris in Tallahassee

Monday (Labor Day) Myself, Misti and Merridy, headed off to Tallahassee to have lunch with Jabaris. We stopped by FAMU Campus to pick him up at his dorm, then went for lunch. Mmmmmmmm steak! We had a very nice visit with Jabaris, seems to be adjusting well to college life. He has a nice Dorm, right across from the Stadium!

Anyway, here is a picture from our visit, a little blurry, taken with my camera phone.

Just one more game ...........

Pastor Rich visited the Sr. High Wednesday night 9-3-08 at the Youth House. We had just finished our study and he eyed our Galatica game, (I think that was the one). Here's a picture.
