 Tackling Taboo Texts - (Romans 1:16-20) 
Letting Go of Lying - (Zechariah 8:16; Ephesians 4:25)
Making Sense of Modesty - (1 Timothy 2:9-10; 1 Peter 3:3-6)
The Disaster of Drunkenness - (Proverbs 20:1, 23:29-35; Ephesians 5:18)
“We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol use. It doesn’t matter how much you drink – the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage. The only thing that we can say for sure is that the more you drink, the more harmful it is – or, in other words, the less you drink, the safer it is.” - World Health Organization (January 2023) 

Research suggests that even one drink per day could change the structure of your brain. Even light-to moderate alcohol use was associated with changes to the brain, including a reduction in overall brain volume. Over time, drinking can shrink the gray matter in your brain, which can affect your cognitive, emotional and motor functions. Researchers found that the changes became more significant as people drank more alcohol. Going from 1-2 drinks was associated with changes that were similar to 10 years’ worth of aging in the brain. - Dr. Judith Overton (April 2024)
 

If I Never Drink… • I will never influence my spouse or my children to drink. • I will never influence anyone else to drink. • I will never hurt my influence through developing that vice. • I will not become an alcoholic. • I will never get drunk. • I will aid myself in obeying the command to be sober-minded. • I will avoid the sting and bite of alcohol and the heartbreak it often brings.

Fleeing Sexual Sin - (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)
Evaluating Entertainment - (Psalm 101:3; 1 Thess. 5:21-22)
Approving Abominable Acts - (Romans 1:32)

"Are There Limits to Fellowship with Those Who Believe in Christ? " by Neal Pollard

May 19, 2024 - Sunday AM Bible Class
 
This quarter Phil Hartnady leads a study of the book of Jeremiah. 
 
Jeremiah
the weeping prophet
forsake / forsaken X 24
backsliding / backslider X 13
return X 47
Key verses: 3:25, 6:13-16, 7:23-24, 7:28, 10:23, 20:9, 31:31-34
Key Chapter: 31, the coming of a Messiah that will bring a new covenant.
 
Jeremiah - weeping prophet - prophesied in Judah (Southern Kingdom) 7th Century BC. This book represents, like others, Gods timeless call to man to trust in him and not in themselves. He lived about 100 years after Isaiah and began his ministry about 626BC lasting until 586BC (60 years). World powers at his birth were Assyria and Egypt, and both were subdued by Babylon in his lifetime. Isaih saved Judiah from Assyria, Jeremiah tried to save them from Babylon, but was not successful. He foresaw Babylon's fall (51:64). Israel (Northern Kingdom) already carried away by Assyria, now Judiah stands alone. Jeremiah helps last good king (Josiah) in reformation of kingdom when book of the law is found. Josiah slain by Pharaoh Necro in 608BC, evil kings reign and hate Jeremiah. In 606 BC, Babylon conquer all, taking captives from Judah (including Daniel). 
 
Jeremiah was young, devoutly religious, tenderhearted and uncommonly bold and courageous, one of the greatest preachers of his time. He foretold the fall of Judah to Babylon, and the return after 70 years of bondage. He spoke of the coming of "the Lord, Our Righteousness" (22:6, 33:16).
 
Lessons from Jeremiah:
The problem of sin: 2:13, 5:30-31, 6:13, 3:25, 6:15, 7:4-7, 7:28
The wages of sin: 13:9-10, 18:1-11, 19:1-15, 24:1-10
God's plea... Amend your ways: 13:15, 3:12, 26:13
Coming of a New Covenant: 31:27-34
Personal Responsibility: 31:29-30
