Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
1 Peter 4:7-9

James' Recommended Series
The Lord of the Rings,
Narnia,
Redwall by Brian Jacques,
G.A. Henty, and more.
In light of the 20th year anniversary of the movie adaption of The Fellowship of the Rings, I've been thinking how great stories capture our hearts and imaginations. Truly good fiction shows as that, there is real darkness in the world and the light is at war with it. That people can be brave or cowardly, true or false. Fiction drives deep what is good, true, and beautiful. It also just teaches us to see adventure. We are served not just by fiction but by biography, intentional christian allegory, and historical fiction. Above are a few titles I've enjoyed. I'm happy to discuss others and to hear what titles geared more towards girls has been helpful. Eliza-Jane will be reading in no time.
In Christ,
Pastor James

7th-8th grade classes this quarter God's Promises: Genesis-Exodus
Lesson 7
Scripture: Genesis 12-15
The Covenant with Abraham
- God promised to give Abraham a land and many descendants, and to make him into a great nation and a blessing to all peoples.
- God sealed his covenant by passing through the cut pieces of animals, thereby guaranteeing that he would keep his promise.
- One of Abraham's descendants would be the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ, who would die on the cross to pay for our sin.
- Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous. God can be trusted to keep his promises because they are based on his faithful character and not on anything we do or fail to do.
