thursday, january 24
we will be meeting at emily's house this thursday at 7pm. we will be discussing 1 peter 2 . since kristi will be out of town she has sent the following as questions to help us get started in our discussion.
Chap. 2 discussion questions:
-In the Message, verse one starts with "So clean house!" In your life, what things do you immediately need/want to clean out of your house? Imagine Jesus physically visiting you and going through each area of your life.
-Verse 11, "Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves at home." Do you feel the Kingdom coming soon? Is there a sense of urgency in your heart? Or do you feel like you've got all the time in the world to prepare for Jesus's second coming?
-Verse 25, "You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls." Share an "ah-ha" moment when your "lost" feelings were replaced by "belonging" feelings to God.

prayer request
there is a lady i've met at work who has stopped by office several times to chat, she is really sweet and REALLY loves the Lord. she has a brother named Freddy who needs some prayers, my understanding is that he really has some issues especially with alcohol.
also, with mardi gras getting into swing let's keep alissa in our prayers (jeff will be working a lot and the baby is coming soon) along with all the revelers. also, the family of the 4 kids who were killed along with the sheriff's dept and volunteers who've helped look for the bodies. another lady i work with, ashley, needs prayers, she has a rather stressful job and quit smoking yesterday, she has been smoking almost 30 years.

Welcome!
This blog has been set-up for the OPC Ladies' Koinonia group to be able to keep up with where we are in our study, share prayers/praises mid-week, and have discussion if something comes up in between our weekly meetings. For now you will just have to post things as comments, once I can find some kind of way for you to post otherwise, I'll let you know. In the mean time, I'll start with this
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29
