Yes my dear brothers and sisters in Christ... I have fizzled... But due to popular demand, I've decided to post the questions for the last 2 weeks. I am so sorry that I was the one in the end who dropped the ball... I have been studying other things lately and with all the fuss about the upcoming baby, I have let this one drop in priority.
For those of you who haven't given up and finished the study, please bless us with your insights! And THANK YOU for enduring.
Love Jules

WEEK TEN: LIVING IN THE SPIRIT
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" ~ John 6:63
I know that we are all struggling to finish - even I had to breeze through 8 and 9 in order to catch up. Thanks to those who have stuck it through. You are true troopers!
1. What BLESSED you most this lesson?
I loved reading the verse in Isaiah about the Spirit of the Lord resting on our Lord Jesus, "the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord." I see that our Lord was also led by the Holy Spirit - once again demonstrating a perfect example to His disciples (us) that our calling and ministry can only be fruitful if we are led by the Spirit.
2. What CHALLENGED you most and how do you intend to apply it (with prayer and the help of the Holy Spirit)?
"Expressing in tangible ways our conviction that the spiritual is greater than the material." How does my daily life and decisions reflect this belief? I am being very convicted about material things and how my checkbook reflects my true heart - "the goodness of the material is at its best when it serves spiritual purposes." This is overflowing into other areas - the use of my time, what I put before my eyes, how much time I spend on the phone, the foolishness of my conversation, the motivations that drive me day to day. Valuing the spiritual over the material (or temporal) needs to stand before me reminding me to make the choice that most impacts eternity!

Let's pray for those who we haven't heard from lately as well as for each other. We only have 2 more weeks to go. Surely we can finish this now! :-) Looking forward to reading your responses. Love, Jules
