Hooray for expository teaching!
Last night I ventured to attempt a new young adults small group. (I'm now categorized as part of the older young adults, by the way. No longer considered post-high school). SO...I've been receiving the emails every week informing me of what this group was doing. This week they were beginning a new study, guys and girls each doing their own video series. So yesterday on my lunch hour I went to the Christian bookstore to check out the workbook for this series. Going into the store, I told myself that I would only get it if it was under $20. So the gal gets the book for me from the reserved copies, and it's $23.99. So I rationalized that it wasn't much over $20, and I went for it.After work, I called for directions and off I was to Friday night Bible Study. Long story short...it was great! A lot of old acquaintances from high school...comfortable small talk. Then we got into the study, which comprised a video and discussion. The series is by Beth Moore, who I'd only heard of recently. It was soooo good. She actually uses the Bible--a lot! It's not just a series of end notes. Everything comes right from the text. So that was exciting. We closed with a really good prayer time and then joined the guys for some food and chatting. I must say, I was very pleased with the whole thing. All of my young adult ministry experiences prior to this were awkward, cliquish, or youth group-y.

It's the "Breaking Free" series. Even if she's Calvanistic, I'll take an exegetical calvinist over a topical arminian (sp?)!!!
lol. me too sib, me too. :)
Hey Adam,
You know me. You just can't figure out who I am. You probably see me around almost every week. I usually sit in the same section of the balcony that you do. Who am i?
hi sib,
i need to recant my endorsement of beth moore. she's not so exegetical in the 'believing God' series. in fact, i find her barely proving her points. it's irksome. also, she really pushes the sovereignty of God issue too far in her application and interpretation. but i'll quit picking on her. what i really wanted to say is, "miss ya."
Sib! have you given up on blogging?
i miss reading you.
