Small Groups: Feb. 10th

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! How many of you enjoyed the beautiful weather as much as we did? We also got to enjoy spending time studying God's Word with all of you... specifically Numbers 22.  We read about the story of Balaam and how the Lord worked in weird ways to communicate with him.  Sometimes God does that... He works in mysterious ways to tell us something or guide us in a certain direction.  In this story we see God use Balaam's donkey to communicate with him.  God sent an angel to kill Balaam to stop him from going down a reckless path.  Balaam could not see the angel, but the donkey could... after the donkey had done everything he could to save Balaam's life, the Lord opened the donkey's mouth and allowed him to speak to Balaam.  A donkey speaking?? Crazy, right? It worked, though.  Balaam realized he was heading down a sinful and reckless path.  After the donkey spoke, God opened Balaam's eyes and allowed him to see the angel as well.  He knelt down and buried his head in his hands realizing what he was doing. 
Maybe in your case what you're doing isn't "wrong"... maybe it's just something God does not have in His will for your life, so be open to strange communication from God.  Have a great week rbcstudents!

Small Groups: Sunday, Feb. 3rd

Hey rbcstudents! We so enjoyed spending our SuperBowl Sunday with all of you yesterday!  To recap the morning, we got the opportunity to dig into Exodus 32 with you.  We talked about how we often tend to lose patience and instead of waiting for the answer, we try to figure things out on our own.  We gave an example about how we do this with new and exciting gadgets.  Maybe you got an iPhone for Christmas... did you pull the phone out of the box, set it aside, and reach for the instructions? NO! You pulled the phone out, turned it on, and started trying to figure it out on your own.  Then when you had a problem with it, did you pull out those dusty instructions to find the answer? NO! You jumped on Google or YouTube to see if someone else had figured it out on their own. We never take the time to just read through instructions, which we KNOW have the answers... instead we take a few clues and try to piece everything together.  We often do this when listening to God.  Instead of waiting for the answer to something, which we KNOW He'll give us, we decide to try and piece clues together and just figure it out on our own. 
We hope you enjoyed spending your SuperBowl Sunday with us!

rbcstudents Small Groups- Sunday, January 27th

We had a great Sunday this past week at rbcstudents.  We finished our "Entitled" series by talking about where we find our contentment.  We saw some crazy (as well as disgusting) examples of different items people find contentment in.  We, as believers, should find our contentment in Christ, as well as encourage others to do so.  We often find our contentment in earthly things--whether it be in our friends, our grades, our family, etc...  If we're searching for contentment in things of the world, we will be constantly disappointed.  The only place we can find true contentment that will not fade or disappoint is in our Savior. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
