D-GROUPS!

Okay so if you go to church with me, you know we have meetings on Sunday nights called D-Groups. One for girls and one for guys. They are led by the college students. Well we are reading a book called "Begining in Jesus" and tonight we learned how Jesus was a servent to set an example of how we should act toward others. The Bible verse we had was John 13:1-17. It was the story of how Jesus got down and cleaned his disciples feet to show how we should be a servent to him and others. We also discussed how Abraham whos only son, that his wife had when she was 80, was his only way for him to be Father of the Nations. But one day God told him to kill his son as a sacrafice to God. Abraham didn't want to and didn't understand how he could be Father of the Nations if he did. But he had faith that God would help him through everything if he killed his son, Isaac. So he took Isaac to a hilltop and built the altar. Then right when he was going to sacrafice Isaac, God stopped him and said it was a test to see if Abraham had enough faith to do anything for God.

God is constantly putting us to tests to see if we would do anything to prove our faith. And the only reason he gives us tests is because he believes we are strong enough to pass!
