Light and Life at The Ridge PV

 Hello all, This two week run is a make up for the blog as we passed it and nothing was posted.  I apologize.  We have been moving slower than the blog posts in the class and and I am coming up with a way to slow down the pace of the scripture readings so we do not get too far ahead.  With that being the case, the 5th leg will be posted and have scripture sections that compliment the time we just had and then get us closer to studying what will be discussed in the class in the upcoming time.  In the meantime, I will continue to update the review blog as well and keep links to the class posted.   Here is a link to the class that happened on Aug. 19th: https://youtu.be/kuSntT8kXhg ***  This is for people who are catching up or using this later... If you are current in the class skip to the next Leg for the Week starting Sept 3rd.*** Week One: (The class is still in this section of scripture.  The class on Sept 2nd.  Finished Jesus Temptati...

 Week One Review Our opening meeting focused on sort of ground rules that the study will go by.  These are the basic assumptions that place us all in the same frame of mind as we approach God's Word and the Gospel accounts specifically. This is God's Word we are looking at.  God is communicating to us through an amazing way in many authors over thousands of years.  As we contemplate scripture we want to ensure the plain meaning is the meaning.  We begin with trying to see the author's original intent and then move toward the application to our lives after.  In the middle, is the crucial idea that the entirety of God's Word to us is about Jesus.  From Genesis 1 to Revelation 21... Jesus is the reason for every season.  God's plan was Jesus and that illuminates many seemingly irrelevant passages that we often simply scan through. We also discussed how we came to know the current make up of the Bible and the process of translating it into other langu...
