Sgt_Z_Squad Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Hi All. This book has one of my favorite chapters of the Bible. Chapter 4 where Paul tells us how we should be acting as a church family. It is really interesting that many of the issues Paul addressed two thousand years ago in the churches of that time are still popping up. Oh well..there's some saying about history repeating itself. Look forward to this study. I hope I can contribute more than I was able to on the Lamb of God study. Blessings!! / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By His Grace Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Hi, this is my first time doing a bible study online and I am looking forward to it. I attend First Baptist Church of Alexandria in Alexandria, VA and do In-Reach for my Sunday School class. We have been studying the book of Ephesians and I really wanted to dig deeper into it. I love studying God's word. No matter where in the bible I look, there is always something that speaks directly to me no matter what my circumstances are.

Pastor DATM Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Greetings Everyone! My wife and I are being raised up as Christian Education Ministers here in Maryland at a 300 member church. When I am not teaching at a cell group on Monday nights or teaching at church on a Wednesday night, I can be found online evangelizing as the Spirit leads. I have been following Pastor Ralph's lessons for some years now although I am usually just sitting in the back seat soaking up the knowledge and good discussions. May God richly bless Pastor Ralph for his dedicated service to our Lord Jesus Christ. Our online ministry's web site has been having some technical difficulties at the host provider but we hope to rectify that soon. In the interim, perhaps the downtime will enable me to jump in the front seat and join in these discussions for this study. Looking forward to the "Vision for the Church" teachings. By hearing from God during this study, we will all learn a little more about what the Lord God had in mind for His Church. Blessings to all as we begin what I am sure will be another one of Pastor Ralph's excellent studies. May he be annointed and led by God Almighty as he pens the words for each lesson. In His Service, Pastor Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel R. Smith Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hi, I'm Dan from Souther California. I worship at Calvary Chapel Redlands with my wife Janya and our two children, Ben and Samantha. This study is quite timely for me as I am going through a time of disillusionment with my fellow Christians at church. Knowing that the problem lies with me, I'm certain that God will use this study to set me straight...He always does as I study His word God Bless you all.

HeatherLynn Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ! My name is Heather, I'm a stay at home mom from Southeast Michigan. I desire to serve God to my full ability. Vision for the Church is the first online Bible Study I have done. I am very excited about it and am hoping that I will be able to take something back to my own church. The day I volunteered to serve on our Worship team - to help our church try to satisfy all members of the congregation as well as reach out and share the Good News with our community - I stumbled across this internet study...God works in miraculous ways!
