52 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2021 Life Guide Bible Study Thank you to all who have kept in touch, It is wonderful to know you are all well and safe. As we continue to shelter in place and await our opportunity to get the vaccine, it is a time of thankfulness and hope. We pray that the message of God's love and grace will penetrate the challenges of disease and discord in our world. As Jesus said in John's Gospel 13:34-35: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Please continue to support each other by phone and email. Sharing prayer requests and praise reports builds us up as members of the Body of Christ. If you feel comfortable, consider meeting in small groups in outdoor settings as the weather permits. Contact Doc or Letha Sellars with any personal updates, comments, or questions at (951) 797-3302 or docletha72@gmail.com. ~ Doc Sellars Since we began a new series entitled "Arise" in January, we have enjoyed finding that very word throughout the Bible. After the introductory lesson, we dug right in to the stories and messages the Bible offers, adopting the definition that "Arise" means to "get up, go and do." In Genesis we began with Abram and his nephew Lot and the resultant destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We revisited the story of what became of Joseph, and how he eventually recognized his brothers who came to him for food. In Judges we studied Gideon's army and God's hand in that army, as well as the five spies from the children of Dan who went to the house of Micah and received wisdom from the priest. In 1 Samuel we reread Samuel's instruction by the Lord to find the king to replace Saul: David, and the amazing King he was. In 1 Kings we studied what happened with Jeroboam's son who was sick, and what Jeroboam told his wife to do. We revisited the consistent fact that Elijah the prophet took direction from the Lord without hesitation. In 2 Kings we reread what happened to Ahaziah. In 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, the Psalms, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Jonah, Micah and Malachi we revisited stories that indeed used the word "Arise." To our amazement, we studied all of those events in just four January lessons. In February we began our quest to find stories in the New Testament that also used the word "Arise." Yep, we found that word in many of those stories as well. In March we will switch to studying how and why that word is also directed to women today. If any of you awesome Four Seasons ladies are interested in joining us for this amazing study, we meet every Friday via teleconference (until further notice) at 10:30 to 11:45 am.
