WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
We'll be looking at some of the parables (stories Jesus told) in the Bible. This study is great for new Bible readers as well as those very familiar with it.

Worksheets will be provided.
TWO opportunities! Monday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30pm and Wednesday mornings, 10:00am to noon. Questions? Email otterfox4@hotmail.com

~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
“You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14
“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you." John 14:15-17
“You are the salt of the earth.” Matthew 5:13
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth.” Matthew 5:13 MSG
"If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?" Matthew 5:13
Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 MSG

~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~
1. If you could join any movie team or mission–like the Fellowship of the Ring, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars–which one would you join and why?
2. Read Matthew 5:13-16. Jesus said we are salt and light. In your own words, what do you think it means to be salt and light where you live, work, or go to school?
3. In the message, Garry said: “Be the influencer, not the influenced.” What are some ways you can keep your “saltiness” and avoid being pulled away from your values or mission by the culture around you?
4.. The story of The Keeper of the Stream paints a picture of the importance of the church. How can we, as individuals and as a church, keep “the stream” of our community healthy and life-giving?
5. We ended this message and series with communion, remembering that Jesus invites us not just to believe, but to participate in his mission. What’s one “axe,” “bow,” or “sword” (your time, skills, passion, resources) that you could offer to God’s mission right now?
