Bible Study Notes: Week Ending 3/22/15

Challenge (for the upcoming week):

Be like David, returning triumphantly to Jerusalem victorious over Absalom's rebellion, who chose to pardon his enemies rather than exact vengeance upon them.  Seek out somone who has trangressed against you (either via ignorance or intentional malice) and let them know you forgive them and love them.

Prayer Requests:

• Stephen - find balance of time for work, service/giving, and recreation
• Kate - for in-laws Rachel & Matthew Bichler (and their baby) as mild complications with the pregnancy have arisen
• Trevor - courage to talk to family (brother mother) about delicate and sensitive issues
• Steph - praise for Griff's progress and prayers for Jason & Elizabeth's upcoming arrival of their baby 

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light" - 1 Peter 2:9
