THURSDAY "enTRUSTING" ~ 2

LIFEWAY Online Bible Study of 2 Timothy with Beth Moore and her book "ENTRUSTING"  

Session 2 {publishing at noon so I can link up hopefully and attempt to at least do today's} of course, if I'm caught up, it's Session 2's video with Beth today -yeah! otherwise I have some reading to do
-the video offers a glimpse of Paul's first letter to Timothy -establishes the concept captured in the title of this 6 week study ENTRUSTED
WEEK 2 PURPOSE and GRACE

Day 1: "A Clear Conscience" Timothy, the Corinthians and Paul's way of life in Christ (next level with Melissa) Day 2: "I Remember" Day 3: "His Own" Day 4: "Because I Know the One" Let No One Despise Him (next level with Melissa) Day 5: "Left and Found"

Each day starts with a  FLASH FORWARD (day one of week 2) 2 Timothy 1:3a (of scripture)
{sampling of the questions interspersed in Day One}

Compare 2 Timothy 1:2 to 1 Timothy 1:2 Do you sense any intensification in the second letter? If so, in what way? How did Paul serve according to 2 Timothy 1:3? 1 Timothy 1:13-15 Paul had been the believing recipient of a work described in Hebrews 10:19-23 Read this passage and record the basis of  "a true heart in full assurance of faith." (then the study goes into a guilty conscience and more from) Hebrews 9:11-22; Hebrews 9:18-20 (Exodus 24:1-11) flip back to Hebrews 10:19-23 Focus on Hebrews 10:22 (circle 'sprinkled' and 'washed') To make the connection with Hebrews 10:22, you need only read two verses. Record the act of consecration taken in each: Exodus 29:4 Exodus 29:21 {of course, there is wonderful information written as well} "He gave His life not only as our sin offering but our guilt offering."

this is just day one, pages 47-52, glimpse
Beth Moore always brings depth and understanding (and Melissa Moore takes us another step deeper- with level 4 & 5)

MOORE On Monday (MOM)

with one of two of the newest LIFEWAY WOMEN Online Bible Study
"ENTRUSTED" {which I shared last Thurs. and promised to update on Mon.} by Beth Moore
"...and a promise is a promise"
Even if I am not at all caught up with this "Entrusted" study, I've already missed publishing SOS (which I'm saving to post about either P31's OBS "Me, Myself and Lies" or Faith Gateway's "Daniel Prayer") and nothing else has been done either like my book review long overdue (so much so, that I have now been deactivated-sigh) yet I'm still loving Faith Barista Bonnie Gray daily with "Whispers of Rest" (which I have set aside my Weds. to share, but I'd really love to do them daily online but it's enough for me to just take time to do them first thing in the morning and 'breathe ...just breathe' ... yes, I 'bit off more than I could chew' but ... I just did not want to miss out on any of these, they are so good!!! And ENTRUSTED is as I thought, packed with so many details, in its thin study guide of 179 [large 8 1/2 by 11] pages filled to the brim, no matter which of the 5 levels you choose to do, just check out the outline of Week 1. 

Day One: "A Trail of Two Cities" On Reading Scripture Day 2 (Sat. or Sun.) "Meet the Teacher" Day 3 (Mon.) "Where Was He When" Day 4 (Tues.) "A Beeline to City Three" Theology: A Collective Struggle Day 5 (Weds.) "A New Son and A Circumcision"

according to my own plan, I should be on
Day 3 "Where Was He When"
FLASH FORWARD: 1 Corinthians 2:2
 Job 38:4 who asked the question, who was addressed and what was the occasion for the "where were you when ______________"? the glaring event for the early church "where were you when they crucified Jesus?"
Acts 20:16 "why didn't Saul of Tarsus stay in Ephesus?"
(this is just the first 2 pages of this day with much background information)
2 more pages packed and then Day 3 ends with this:

"On the high road of that rabid zeal we land our lesson. Read Acts 9:1-9 and, if you've read it many times, try to read it with new eyes. If you're like me, (Beth Moore) some responsive thoughts are rolling around in your head as you raise your chin from that page. Record two of them as your conclusion today~"Entrusted" by Beth & Melissa Moore

1 Corinthians 15:8
Since this is my first Beth Moore actual study, I don't want to miss anything! I can tell it'd be so,much better in a church group or sitting in the group as Beth instructs us - but for now the videos will do just fine. And I'm thrilled to be able to view them online without having to purchase them right now. 
SESSION ONE for WEEK 1
Lots to think about and this is just the background and introduction This Thursday we'll be in WEEK 2 when we actually start with
2 TIMOTHY
but all this preparation is so good
<><><>
In "WHISPERS of REST" today's DAY 15 in Part 3 "Dreaming as the Beloved" Rejuvenate Your Passion for Life12
{oh yeah}
"GATHER"
{more on my Weds. WOW}
<> I apologize for not posting anything for SOS from those two wonderful studies mentioned above ... so I may go back and add a post on SONday 6pm for P31 and perhaps Faith Gateway's Ann Graham Lotz "Daniel Prayer" OBS on Friday {if I can do it ahead of time to publish on Friday and sum up this week rather than look ahead to the next, but she also is such an excellent teacher and guide for "praying"} 
Perhaps if you read  Acts 9:1-9 you might share with me your thoughts that "are rolling around in your head" from what it said to you

SOS

Study On SONday
WEEK TWO with P31 OBS of Jennifer Rothschild's book "Me, Myself, and Lies"
"CHOOSING and SPEAKING TRUTH"

[image credit: P31]

"...  Jennifer gives us a battle plan to help shut the door to those negative thoughts: The three R’s — Recognize, Refuse and Replace I know I find it hard to Refuse the “lie.” That’s the one “R” I want to work on this week. What’s the most difficult “R” for you? What can you do to shut the door on your negative thoughts?" - See more at: P31 OBS and Jennifer Rothschild's book, "Me, Myself and Lies"

I am only highlighting this so you can link up or follow along with Proverbs 31 OBS who already do an exceptionally wonderful weekly discussion but there's quite often so many "comments" it's hard for me to connect but I love them, their choices for book studies and their team No reason for me to reinvent what they do so well
however
you are certainly welcome to comment here rather or in addition to there because I have so few comments, you're guaranteed that I won't miss it
I'll Repeat the questions (and that's not even one of the "R") here: What’s the most difficult “R” for you?  What can you do to shut the door on your negative thoughts?"
For me, I'm sure I struggle with all 3 of the "R's" but initially it has to be "RECOGNIZE"
because often I don't realize that and recognize it as a lie but receive the lie as truth usually spoken by another but rehearsed and replayed in my mind without recognizing it as a lie or device of the enemy to mess me up but I am getting better at discerning a lie spoken to me
and I guess that if I knew the answer to the 2nd part of this ? I would have written JR's book and not be struggling with this, hoping I will learn from this book how to shut the door especially when the negative thoughts are mine or  spoken by me to others (but I sure hope not)
<><><>
Going to try to do Fridays for Faith Gateway's OBS of "The Daniel Prayer" by Anne Graham Lotz [Kick-off] but I will share on SOS that week's link
Session 2 "Preparing for Prayer"
What are some areas you need to work on to better  prepare your heart to pray as Daniel did?
{but this is for Friday for me here, if I get to it before then;  if not, this will have to do-sorry}

2 Timothy begins in WEEK TWO

I am so enjoying Bonnie's Book Club of "Whispers of Rest" and would love to be reading "Me, Myself and Lies" by Jennifer Rothschild with P31 OBS but I've had this study since the beginning of 2017 when I purchased "Redeemed" and my first real book by Beth Moore (though I have many in my Kindle) but was disappointed when I opened the book and realized that I didn't get the DVDs so I could listen and watch Beth Moore teaching this and NOW I have the opportunity to do this at LIFEWAY so I can't miss out on this, nor should you. The Study videos are long, approximately 65 minutes so they are well worth setting time aside to at least watch these ... if you can't get the "Entrusted" Bible Study book right now. 
Often when I start a Bible Study, I need to define the title or understand why the author entitles their study with that title, so
Entrusted: 1. To give over (something) to another for care, protection, or performance 2. To give as a trust to someone
I needed to see if there is a correlation between "trust" and "entrust" and 2 Timothy! 
{I did not realize this was focused on MENTORING, but it seems so from this opening session. How I know I would have grown spiritually if I had a mentor and by now should be mentoring someone but as Beth points out we feel inadequate and need to get over that. How true.}
