I appreciate the point about getting to know your brothers and sisters in Christ.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-44621120302704651572010-05-24T14:28:30.843-04:002010-05-24T14:28:30.843-04:00Eric,

I also knew that the church would have an opportunity to take part in the teaching, through asking questions, sharing experiences, or even offering a teaching of their own. So, I prepared for studying the passages in Scripture related to the Sabbath. I also talked with other brothers and sisters about the topic - both my own family and others in person as well as online.<br /><br />However, besides this preparation, I also spend time with other brothers and sisters throughout the week. I know what's going on in their lives and they know what's going on in my life. Specifically through a conversation I had last week, I knew I need to confess something to the church, to ask for prayer in that area, and to exhort the church (as well as myself) toward faithfulness in that area.<br /><br />So, my preparation included both the study of Scripture and the work that God was doing in my life and the lives of others through our interaction with one another. I'm sure there were others ways that I (and others) prepared, but these are two ways that I try to prepare every day.<br /><br />-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-47272079163807301082010-05-23T23:11:16.452-04:002010-05-23T23:11:16.452-04:00Thanks for the inspiration verse for next week whe...Thanks for the inspiration verse for next week when I lead worship!Jason_73https://www.blogger.com/profile/03897032251222417504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-59623978421742162122010-05-23T21:26:26.657-04:002010-05-23T21:26:26.657-04:00Jeff,

The question is whether our gatherings are multi-directional or uni-directional. If we are all encouraged to be involved, we will prepare (or at least should).Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-55871584584683904332010-05-23T18:00:06.350-04:002010-05-23T18:00:06.350-04:00Great exhortation.
