Day Two of our Men and Women's Bible Studies
So, I forget to mention in my post from Day 6 that we also had a Women's Bible Study on the 1st Floor at the same time we were having our Men's Bible Study on the third floor. The previous trip our Church took to Guatemala (January)was when Barbara and others started a Women's Bible Study at Tabitha. This trip was the start of our Men's Bible study. Anyway, I have posted some pictures below from it. Joe gave the introduction and shared with the group some of the things we had shared the day before. The first day we focused on the Sacrifice Jesus made for us on the Cross, for the forgiveness of our sins, as a the perfect sacrifical lamb, and as our Good Shepherd. Then Bob closed out the day preaching on The Prodigal Son (or the Forgiving Father) story as recorded in Luke 15. Bob gave the plan of salvation the first day and then we invited the men to come back the next day.
On the second day we talked about the resurrection of Jesus (Matthew 28) and what that means for us (I Cor 15) and what our response should be. We talked about how His resurrection was to give us new life in Him and through repentance we could walk away from our past sins and into a eternal life as Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior (giving the brief overview of what we talked about). I started off with Lesson 4, then Johnny did Lesson 5 and then Stephen gave the plan of salvation in Lesson 6. Joe said a few more charges to the men to have a personal study of the scriptures (we gave them Spanish New Testaments and a copy of our lessons in Spanish). Then Barbara and Johnny gave charges to the men first and then downstairs to the women about what scripture says about a husband and wife and family. David again led us in worship with his guitar.
The top picture is of Joe and me with Lucy (one of the translators for the women) and her mom.
Below is a picture of me on my ride while I was in Guatemala (not really haha). One of our translators drove this motorcycle and he offered to let me drive it around, but I did not take him up on his offer. Then the next picture is our group from Sunday's Bible Study.
After we left Tabitha that day we went to the Guatemala National Cathedral and main plaza area. We also went a local outdoor market. After we left there we went to Church with David (his father is a Pastor). It was about a 2.5 hour service and then we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. Great day.
Joy in my Heart,
Benjamin
