A new year of BSF has sneaked up on me! This year, we will study the book of Matthew. And once again, each Tuesday I will provide weekly summaries about the lessons. The first one will be available tomorrow.
In the Gospel of Matthew, we will see the birth, ministry, death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. We’ll read about Jesus calling His twelve disciples to a life committed to serving and obeying Him. We’ll discover that many people refused to believe Jesus was God’s promised Messiah. But many more people put their faith in Him, followed Him and promised to share His message of salvation with the world.
This year, I want to improve my study of God’s Word. I don’t want to see my weekly lesson and preparation as a leader simply as items on my to-do list. Instead I want to allow God to teach me and change me through this year’s study, from the inside out.
I also want to focus on my service in my BSF class. I know for certain that God has called me to my position as assistant children’s supervisor, and I absolutely love serving God alongside such wonderful women and students in our class. But I’m feeling woefully inadequate this year. This year I want God to use me to support the leaders I work with and to show Christ’s love to the students in my class.
Will you join me on my study of Matthew this year? I pray that my posts will encourage you in your personal walk with Christ. Get ready…here we go!
