Adult Bible Study - 9:00am

God knows that as we continue to grow physically and intellectually, so we need to grow spiritually. Bible Studies are provided for our spiritual growth, both in knowledge and in learning how we can become more effective in serving our Lord and others. Bible studies may focus on a book of the Bible, such as Hebrews, or on a particular topic such as marriage, or parenting. Some last only a few weeks and others are continuous. Check for more particular information.

During the summer months, the preacher is also the Bible Study teacher and the topic is from the readings for the day

While we are Waiting by Darcy Paape

                What must it have been like to be Elizabeth and Zechariah?  A lifetime of waiting for a child, and yet how long since they had given up hope.   Yet, they had remained faithful, even though much of their society would have looked up them in disgrace.  What had they done to deserve God’s disapproval?  Nothing, in fact Luke 1:6 states, they were “righteous before God walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.”  Still they waited. 

                Every time I read the story of Elizabeth and Zechariah I am delighted by God’s purposefulness.  Oh, He had heard their prayer.  Zechariah’s name means Yahweh remembers and Elizabeth’s name means God’s promise.  In their very names they were given the hope of what was to come, and yet being as short-sighted as humans are, I am sure they could not see it.  Instead all they had known was the disgrace of being barren, the shame of walking alone.  Yet, they remained true to God. 

And so it was, on the one day in his entire lifetime that Zechariah, a little country priest, was to offer sacrifices and prayers in the temple, an angel comes to see him.  After 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testament writings, God sends Gabriel to answer the prayers of humble and faithful couple  by blessing them with a baby named John, God’s grace.  John would not only fulfill a faithful couple’s prayer, but take away the disgrace they had so long endured.  This son would prepare the way for the Messiah, The Long-Expected One.  A long dry spell was finally quenched, and it would be entirely worth the wait. 

                We too long for certain fulfillments, we too offer up prayers that seem to take so long in the answering.   We pray often, loudly, softly, with arguments as to why God should listen and answer.   Stories like Zechariah’s remind us that God is faithful in His time, not our own.   God is faithful in His way, not our own.   But truly, He is faithful.  The question is, like Elizabeth and Zechariah, what will be said of us during the time of waiting?  Will we continue to serve in the ways we are called, or wait for the conditions to become more favorable?  Will God come and find us looking to the heavens, or to our own lists and objectives? 

                God has heard us.  He will answer.  The question is. . .what will we do, while we are waiting?
