Hi everyone,


I often find church signs to be stupid and rude. But I sort of like this one, at least it seems to be stupid and rude on purpose! : )

Here’s the plan for tonight in Shepherding God’s People

On the front end we will discuss any questions that you came away with after working through this week’s assigned text so be sure to complete the reading from lessons three and four. (Soul Care & Small Groups)

After that we’ll continue our journey on the road to becoming better at pastoral counseling by focusing on one of my favorite Scriptures and a great old quote. You won’t find either in the module so I’ll post them both here.

The Scripture:
Answering before listening is both stupid and rude.                Proverbs 18:13 (The Message)

The Quote:
Many people are looking for an ear that will listen. They do not find it among Christians, because Christians are talking when they should be listening.            – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If we have time we’ll spend the last hour or so focusing on an abbreviated version of the small group resource from the student guide 4:4.

As always shoot me any questions: dan@storypoint.info

Grace and Peace, D
