It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not
be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1
We have had amazing study time together the past few years! We have journeyed together through the Word gleaning and partaking of just what it means to be a believer, a disciple of Jesus. We have deepened our relationships with one another and found ourselves in awe at the powerful changes God performed through the Holy Spirit in the lives of those who believed in Jesus, and also those who didn't yet know Him. We have all been challenged to a life led by the Holy Spirit, Who reveals to us who we are in Christ. We also have a deeper understanding of the person of the Holy Spirit; the One who gives us the power to overcome life’s circumstances and daily temptations.
We believe each one that has been a part of EWBS could say that they have received fresh revelation of who God is and His love for them and toward them. However, we can also confess that there remains such a hunger to be continually enlightened which causes us to press on to know more of Him and His ways. Without revelation from Him, we can only know about Him, and His desire is for us to know and experience Him personally!
In our 08-09 study through Romans, we tasted of the yearnings in Paul’s heart to release to every believer the fullness of truth concerning liberty that comes from being the righteousness of God in Christ! Then there was the challenge for us to receive the grace in which God has so intended for us to live. The grace that sets us free to live the lifestyle of freedom that God has given us in and through His Son! May it be that we will press on to know and receive more of that grace, by renewing our minds, to live from the position of being the righteousness of God in Christ!! This study was awesome!!
Come join us as we begin another journey this year through the books of James, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians – “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power”!! Eph. 1:17-19
