Small Groups: Sunday, February 17th

Who enjoyed watching the Baileys battle it out yesterday during the 9:00 a.m. intro?  We still have half a jar of Nutella if anyone is interested in taking that off of our hands.  In all seriousness, though... we loved spending our morning with all of you! For those of you who missed it, yesterday we spent time reading through 2 Kings, chapter 2.  We read through the story of the Prophet, Elisha... and what happened when the people of Bethel criticized him and made fun of him.  The city of Bethel had already begun to let their fear of the Lord slip.  When these young men in Bethel were showing God contempt by making fun of His prophet, He used it as an opportunity to speak to the entire city of Bethel.  God sent to bears to maul 42 of the young men who were making fun of Elisha.  God does not take contempt lightly, and as followers of Christ we need to have healthy fear of the Lord.  He can do whatever He wants, but He has given us grace.  We hope all of you had a wonderful Sunday yesterday and hope you all have a fantastic week! Remember to take time to reflect on what you discussed within your small groups yesterday!
