*Atonement and propitiation
*Old law vs New covenant
*Animal sacrifice vs Jesus the lamb
*Earthly high priest vs Perfect high priest
*How we become connected to Jesus and have our sins atoned for.
*How we participate in and stay connected to Jesus and his atonement.
*Our hope in the eternal promises.
If you missed it, check out the Bible project video- sacrifice and atonement:
https://bibleproject.com/explore/sacrifice-atonement/
Hollar at Jered if you want in on next weeks zoom devo!
Also, look for our weekly bible reading to be posted Thursday!
Here is our video Bible Study for the week. I'll try to stay humble now that I am going to be a YouTube star.
A brief introduction and my thoughts on Philippians
Schedule for the rest of the Spring Semester
*Monday- zoom devos at 7 pm (text jered to get in)
*Wednesday/Sunday- online recorded lessons from Durant church of Christ website:
https://durantchurchofchrist.com/video-sermons
*Thursday- recorded bible readings from jered. Will be posted online via Facebook.
We had our first devo on zoom tonight! Jered will continue hosting these on Monday nights. If you don’t know how to get hooked up for next time, just shoot him a text. He’ll also be recording our weekly bible studies to post online. Hopefully these will help keep us encouraged and connected for the rest of the semester!
For a few Wednesdays, Jered is digging into some big foundational words like faith, grace, and righteousness. We would like our understanding of these concepts to be biblically and scripturally based. Jump in on Wednesday night class or get into a personal study with Jered to get some information and build yourself a firm foundation!
In this lesson series, we’ve looked into what a true disciple of Jesus is and HOW He made true disciples.
Jesus:
Spent time with people; built relationships with them; modeled good works like serving, teaching, and healing; gave them opportunities to actually do things and grow; discussed these opportunities with them and how to continue to grow; explained that a true disciple does their part to bear fruit and make more disciples.
We must pay close attention to what Jesus says we must do in order to be a true disciple.
We must also follow His pattern and example of HOW to make more disciples.
If you’d like to study this and haven’t been in Wednesday night class, ask jered for notes or a personal study series. These are core principles of christianity that we all should know in detail!
Tonight Jered spoke on how scripture calls us to obey the gospel. The gospel is the good news about Jesus Christ. And more specifically the fact that His death, burial, resurrection, and appearance make is possible for us to live with God for eternity. (1 Cor 15:1-8) But, it seems more like the gospel is a statement. So, we have to look to scripture to see HOW we can participate in and obey the gospel. (Romans 6:3-11; Acts 2:36-41)
Also, once obedience begins it should not end. It should continue. Just as Jesus appeared to many, so should we. We must live life as a constant sacrifice to God and witness to the world. If we continue to obey Him, we will live with Him for eternity. (Rev 2:10)
So what’s our responsibility?
1. Find out what He wants you to do by reading His word. Listen to Him.
2. Allow the Word to change your life and change you.
3. Choose to live in constant obedience to God.
Living in obedience to the gospel is essential for us. Its not just the beginning of our life as a christian, it is the entire way of life for a christian.

Jered’s lesson tonight scratched the surface on the topic of God’s Holy Spirit. It’s definitely one we should seek out in our studies often. If you missed tonight and want to study this for yourself, check out the verses below and text Jered if you want to know more!
Acts 2:38-39
Romans 8:3-17; 26-30
1 Cor 2:11-14
Gal 5:16-26
John 14:15-18
1 Thes 5:19
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
“Jesus left it all, to give it all, so that we could have it all.”
We too can leave the things that hold us back, to give those around us the good news, so
that they can have eternal life with God also.
So great to have the Lendermans at the SBC tonight!

Our first Tuesday night Family Dinner was awesome. The Goad’s hosted us in their home and fed us a great meal. We also had some bible study and game time. There are several purposes to our Tuesday nights this semester:
1. Get outside the church building in order to grow in fellowship with one another.
2. Help others get involved in the group better.
3. Get to know other adults in our church family outside of the church building.
4. Invite friends to meet the group in a smaller setting.
5. Learn more of the scripture in a small group setting.
If you have any Tuesday nights free, please consider joining us! You won’t regret it! 💙

It was a great first night at the sbc!
Good food, fellowship, and thoughts from God’s Word.
The lesson was on the stages of Christianity we can all go through. From being outside of Christ completely, to possibly sitting idly by, to becoming a mentor who makes other disciples of Christ. No matter what stage we find ourselves in, we’ve got to be striving to grow and move on to the next chair.
