Bible Study for Week of 10.2.06

This week we are continuing our look at who God is. Our Study is from I John 4:7-21, and is titled "God is Love." I hope you enjoy learning more of who God is and how He works in our lives.
This coming Friday (10/6) is Fall Break, so at CRU we will have an evening of Praise and Worship. I hope you will join us before you head out of town for a much deserved break from classes.

Bible Study for Week of 9.25.06

This week we are starting our new series on the Basics (click here for a pdf of the series overview). We will take the remainder of the Fall semester and look at some of the Basics of Christianity. We will look at God, Man, Sin, Christ, the Cross, the Holy Spirit, and Faith. Hopefully, you will finish this semester with a deeper understanding of each of these topics, which will deepen your love of Christ.

This week we begin by looking at God. It's a huge topic...actually it's an infinite topic, which is somewhat larger than huge. We're going to look at Isaiah 40:12-31.

Why We Must Think Rightly About God by A.W. Tozer

I hope you enjoy this Bible Study. The article by Tozer is also extremely helpful and important. I encourage you to read it after next Thursday's CRU meeting.

Bible Study for Week of 9.18.06

Hey Everybody!
Sorry I am delinquent in posting this. Please accept my apologies.

This week at CRU, we'll be taking a retrospective look at the Community 2:8 series and hearing from several students about how they hope to see God work in their lives. It should be a great time.

For Bible Study, we're going to look at what may be a familiar passage. It is the dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:1-18 (here's John 3:16 in Swahili in case you were curious).

New Series for CRU and Bible Study: The BASICS

Some of you have been planning on studying II Corinthians for the rest of the semester. I have been too, but due to some God-ordained issues, we're going to put II Corinthians on the back burner.

Instead we're going to look at the Basics. Click here to see a pdf document detailing the overall vision and plan of the series. I hope that you will be as excited for this as you have been about studying II Corinthians.

This new series will start the week of Sept. 25th.

Lemme know if you have any questions.

Bible Study for Week of 9.11.06

Here is the Bible Study for this week! As part of our series with Community 2:8, we'll be focusing on Community and Fellowship. The text we'll use is Ephesians 4:1-16.

Use the Leader's Guide to prepare to lead a Bible Study. Use the study "Lean on Me" for your students and for the Bible Study that you are in but don't lead. If you lead a Bible Study, I encourage you to print off the "Community" article for each of the dudes or dudettes in your Bible Study. Encourage them to read the article after the CRU talk on Community.

MP3 of CRU talk from 8.31.06

Here is an MP3 of last week's talk at CRU.
The speaker was Donny Friederichsen. He spoke about Prayer in the context of our new strategy, Community 2:8. His text was John 17:20-26.

(note: I'm still not pleased with the audio quality...but it is better. Hopefully we'll get it worked out soon.)
