Bible Study: Spring 2026
We meet every Wednesday at 11:15 a.m. in the church library.
Anyone is free to drop in for a taste of the joy that we share in our prayer, meditation, scripture, and Christian community.
Some new revelations concerning The Plan of God.
This is the topic for Wednesday Bible Study during Lent: From before time began God has had a plan -
that humankind will share God's life in God's Kingdom. There is such a wealth of wisdom that we can explore
and find great depth of meaning. Instead of focusing on a book of scripture for however long that book takes
we are bouncing around to find particular topics and look at scripture in a way that is new to us. There have
been many questions and challenges to explore.
Why is there sin in the world? Evil? What do Adam and Eve and their story have to do with us and
what do we learn from them? Did God create sin and evil? Is Redemption necessary? Does God punish us?
Our conversations have been brisk and loaded with thought. We have come to understand more about the
value of conversational meditation. It is all a critical tool for spiritual growth. The goal is not teaching nor
learning. It is feeding and living scripture. It is growing in faith and nurturing our lives in God.
Psalm of the week for Easter, April 5 - Psalm 16: Conserva me, Domine (protect me, Lord)
There is a theme that is easily found. Think of times that were full of joy for you. And now look at the psalm
for the relationships that are found between you and God. What were the factors that brought this about?
Look at all the blessings that the psalmist has received. The psalmist receives because God does this.
What is it that God does? And why does God do it?
What does God NOT do? Note that this psalm seems to apply to one person. How could we expand
this beyond the individual.? What can we say about this relationship of two?
And what is your emotional response?
May your Eastertide be blessed.
