Changed?

Session 3.33 for August 14, 2011

The story of Jesus and the Canaanite woman has many interpretations, and we can learn many valuable lessons from it. Jesus’ encounter with the Canaanite woman should encourage us to keep talking, keep communicating with God whether we are happy, sad, angry, or filled with doubt.

Peter's Faith

The End of the Story?

Session 3.30 for June 24, 2011

Jacob meets his match in his uncle Laban, who tricks Jacob into marrying both of his daughters, working 14 years for the priviledge. We know how Jacob's life turns out — but at the time, he must have wondered how the messiness of his life would end. What is your understanding of how God works in the “messiness” and “unfinished stories” of our lives?
