Day 18

I attended church again this week and really enjoyed the service this time around. The format is a bit different than what I’m use to, but the word is always a blessing. Instead of the occasionally fiery Baptist preaching I am accustomed to, this service is more of a family Bible study. Verse by verse teaching of the scriptures are lead by a pastor in a conversational tone and a mile long list of cross references for every point he wants to make. In 60 minutes we went over 4 verses and were back and forth through out the Old and New Testaments countless times. Although it may not be what most of us expect from church, it is a great asset for someone who is deeply searching. I came away with a new take on the concept of redemption and the role of CHRIST as kinsman redeemer, as well as a couple hours worth of personal study plans.
