Doing Life Together Hebrews 10:23-25
When was the last time you called on someone to help you do something? Maybe you had a heavy piece of furniture to move. Maybe you were stumped about how to proceed with a home repair. Maybe you were facing something totally new and unfamiliar. Maybe you didn’t want to tackle some unpleasant task alone. Maybe you just needed some “moral support.” Maybe you knew that what you were about to embark on would be more fun with someone else along for Let us hold fast to the confession of our the ride. Some things we can’t do alone (move hope without wavering, for he who has heavy furniture) and some things we don’t like promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider to do alone (go to a ball game). Life is generally how to provoke one another to love and easier and better when we do it with other good deeds, 25 not neglecting to meet people. And so is our faith life. together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more Among the first things that Jesus did in his as you see the Day approaching. public ministry was gather a small group of people around him with whom to do life. They Hebrews 10:23-25 (NSRV) traveled together, prayed and worshiped together, served together, encouraged and challenged each other, and most certainly even had fun together. Who are you doing life with? And more importantly, who are you doing your faith life with? Don’t try and go it alone. Do life - and faith - together.

PUMC offers many Bible studies, Sunday School classes, and small groups throughout the year. But each fall brings a special opportunity for study and spiritual growth with a new round of Disciple Bible Study Classes – a unique, intensive course in reading Scripture and building faith. In each Disciple course, groups of 10-12 people make a nine-month commitment to daily Bible reading and weekly class participation. Each weekly class session includes a short DVD presentation by a biblical scholar, and time for discussion and exploration of Scripture and of what it means to live as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. If you’ve never taken a Disciple course before, you’ll want to begin with Disciple I, “the red book.” Disciple I does not require any previous knowledge of the Bible. But whatever
understanding you bring is valued, and Disciple encourages you to grow. If you have already taken Disciple I, there are three other Disciple courses, each focused on a different section of the Bible. Beyond those, Disciple extends to a course on how Jesus Christ is portrayed in the four Gospels (Jesus in the Gospels), and a deep study of Christian doctrines and practices in Christian Believer. Information about Disciple Bible Study will be in the main lobby and on pumc.org during the month of August. Stop by the display table or the website to sign up. And if you see anyone with a colorful, round pin on their PUMC nametag, ask them what Disciple meant to them. They’ll be glad to share, and you’ll be encouraged to a deeper understanding of faith. For more information about Disciple Bible Study, or any adult Bible study, contact Ken Loudenback at kloudenback@ pumc.org or 317.839.2319, ext. 226.
