Bible Study for Week of 10.29.06

Hey guys! This is Kim. Donny is out of town, so I'm the Blogger for the week. This week we will be talking about Jesus' death on the cross. Adam Strouth will be speaking at CRU on Nov. 2 on the cross. You won't want to miss it!

Here's the link. It's the same format as the study for Jesus Christ.
Uniqueness of Jesus - His Death on the Cross

In case you didn't notice last week, you can work on the Bible Study online and type your answers in the boxes provided and then send it to your email. You can even read the Scripture online by clicking on the verses. It's pretty user-friendly. Hope you enjoy!!!

By the way...for some strange and unknown wrinkle in the fabric of the universe, you cannot email the bible study to an aol email account. Sorry about the inconvenience. Your best bet is to mail it to your uky.edu account. Thanks!

All Leaders Meeting

Bible Study for Week of 10.23.06

So far we have looked at God's nature. We have seen the crowning glory of His Creation, Man. We have looked at Sin, and why everything is so screwed up. Now...now, we get to God's answer for redeeming all of history for His Glory.
This week's Bible Study and Cru will focus on Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was a historical person. He is fully man, fully God. Through Jesus Christ, we receive the righteousness Christ and he takes the sinfulness of us. All in all, it's a heck of a deal for you and me.

We are going to do a Bible Study written by Dr. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade. This is the first in a series called, "10 Basic Steps to Christian Maturity." The Bible Study is completely web based. Go to the link, look up the scripture (you just have to click on it and it pops up!), and answer the questions. At the end, it will ask for your name and email. Put your name and email address. Click send. You Bible Study and answers will be emailed to your inbox. Print it off and take that to Bible Study. It's that simple. If you get stumped, call your Bible Study leader. If you're a Bible Study leader and you're stumped, call Donny.

The Uniqueness of Jesus Christ
Sorry, there's no leader's guide this week.
Jesus is the Glory of God - John Piper - This article comes from chapter 2 of his book, Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ. It is a short but rich look at Jesus Christ. The whole book is wonderful and can be ordered at John Piper's website, Desiring God.
Jesus' Unique Claims about Himself - Greg Koukl - This comes from Stand to Reason, a ministry that specializes in apologetics and defending the faith. It is more an outline than an article, but still quite helpful.


Christ is not valued at all unless He is valued above all.-- Augustine

Bible Study for Week of 10.16.06

Sorry I'm late on this one. This week's Bible Study is covering Sin. So far we have looked at God. He is omnipotent, without beginning, all knowing, and loving. We have also looked at Man. We have seen that we are more than evolved mud. We are made in God's image, the crowning glory of His creation. Cool, huh?

This week's study will look at Genesis 3 and Romans 3:9-20. Enjoy.

Bible Study for Week of 10.09.06

This week's topic is Man (I mean the term "man" in the gender neutral sense). We'll look at why God created Man and how we are to respond to being created. I hope that you'll leave Bible Study with an uplifting and humbling portrait of yourself and those with whom you share this little planet.

The Basics - Man
The Basics - Man - Leader's Guide
What is Mankind - The Image of God by Richard Pratt

Richard Pratt was a professor at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, FL. He recently left his position there to focus his energies with Third Millennium Ministries. The text is lengthy, but really good. I encourage you to read it. Just set aside some time this weekend (you have Friday off) and read it. You'll be smarter and better looking because of it. Don't give me that crap about "I've got too much work," or "I don't have time." You're only kidding yourself.
