We've had some good times the last couple of meetings, celebrating life events and honoring our move to our new location, meeting at Vienna Baptist in the church parlor going forward.
We will begin to focus a little more this week on our study of the gospel of Mark. I'll be drawing on the approach in the commentary in the Journey through the Bible series, and I'll have copies for people who want them and also a few just for reference when we gather. Do bring your favorite Bible when you come.
This week we'll be looking at the first big story in Mark, the story of Jesus exorcising the demon in Mark 1:21-28, and talking about what we do with that, what it means in its context, what it means to us, what it tells us about who Jesus is, who God is, and what is going on here -- and whatever else people want to talk about!
The commentary is not required; neither is homework. But on the other hand, if you want to try a daily Bible reading practice connecting to our study, I will be making some suggestions about how to go about that. And we will eat together, pray together. Do come -- check us out, bring a friend. Explore with us what the gospel is saying to us now, in our time and culture.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on February 3, 7:00-9:00 at VBC -- or as soon as you can get there!
