This month we have been doing a series on different characters from the Bible. Kaylyn talked about Mary the mother of Jesus and the struggles she went through being pregnant and the kind of faith she had. I talked about King Solomon and the fact that the wisest man to ever live lost sight of God and his wisdom could not save him. And last week Ryan taught on Jael and how she killed an evil man to save Israel. He also mentioned how the judges would deliver Israel, but they would continue to go back to their old ways of turning from God. In all the stories you see that God wants us to be near to Him as He is near to us. When we get comfortable we often get lazy, which causes us to forsake God. Even the greatest of people fall when they take their eyes off Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that we learn from these stories and keep our eyes, hearts, minds and thoughts on God.
If you want to read these passages for yourself (which I encourage), check out:
Mary -- the gospel of Luke
King Solomon -- 1 Kings, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes
Jael -- Judges 4 & 5
Grace and Peace
