#NewTestament Change in Your Church
There are thousands of changes recorded in the Bible, including
- The universe changed "in the beginning."
- Perfection changed when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
- Moses changed from a frightened criminal on the run to a great leader with whom God spoke face to face.
- Rahab, a prostitute, changed her allegiance and became a member of Jesus' earthly lineage.
- Paul changed from a persecutor of Christians to the most prolific writer in the New Testament.
Change is part of life.
How you react to change impacts not only you but also your family, your friends, your co-workers... in fact pretty much all who come in contact with you.
After the passage from Mark [2:18-2 -New International Version (NIV)], there's a green-colored worksheet for you today. It's a series of interpretations of short passages of Scripture followed by applications (Action Steps) on how to manage change in your church.
No long writing assignments. Fill in some blanks. Most of those are based on the Scriptural passages.
Right-click on the worksheet and download it. Printing it and writing your answers in the blanks is the easiest way to complete this task.
I'll post the filled-in worksheet tomorrow.
Jesus Questioned About Fasting
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”
19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.
21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
