Hi Everyone, This bible study is open to ALL members, type 1 since we will be doing this through email.

We will start in the book of Matthew and work our way through the new testament. I will email commentaries, to your email addresses weekly, or biweekly, depends on how much we read and study that week. This week we will be studying Matthew chapters 1,2,and 3, so I will give 14 days for this study, you will have 1 partner. I will also email questions to everyone via email when I assign partners, so be prepared to get some emails with this swap.

Prayer before bible study;

As we open our bibles We also open our hearts That these words of truth may fall upon the very fabric of our lives. May these ancient scriptures come alive within us, To inspire, to heal, to cleanse, to teach To restore and to guide our hearts and minds. Lord, come weave your words of life in us.

Amen.
