The weather has made it hard to get our Bible Study brochures mailed, so He has forced us to find other ways to get the word out. I think I am driving my family crazy cuz I've spent more time than usual at my computer, but I will say I have learned a few new tricks. Of course, I should always remember to ask for my son's help first. The other day, after I had spent quite awhile putting the Facebook logo on this blog, he said, "That's easy Mom, I could have shown you how to do that in a couple of minutes." Ha! I just had to laugh! I have learned, though, that we have some very talented people in our church's video department, cuz Dave sent me this You Tube link today: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si98CxdbAbM"><span style="color:#330099;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si98CxdbAbM</span></a> It will show you what studies will begin next week. Take a look. Hopefully things will thaw out so that we can begin meeting again soon! Be safe and stay warm!<br />LorrelFBC Bentonville 4Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420116139432697707noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072176289653017312.post-35897980922764802972010-01-04T22:38:00.002-06:002010-01-04T22:38:46.179-06:00Reminder about closingsOur Bible studies are cancelled any time the Bentonville and/or Rogers Schools are closed.FBC Bentonville 4Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420116139432697707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072176289653017312.post-31378451864966472542010-01-03T20:47:00.005-06:002010-01-03T23:13:04.541-06:00New Bible Study ScheduleThe new Women's Ministry brochure is supposed to go out this week, but just in case, I have put it on our FBC Women's Ministry website: <a href="http://www.fbcbentonville.org/templates/System/details.asp?id=25387&PID=112256"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>http://www.fbcbentonville.org/templates/System/details.asp?id=25387&PID=112256</em></span></a><br />Our new classes are also listed to the right. Please note that our bible study schedule <em><strong>does not</strong></em> begin this week. There are 4 days to choose from: Monday night beginning next week on January 11th, Tuesday morning beginning January 12th, Sunday afternoon beginning January 17th and we have a Thursday night class too. Special note regarding our Thursday night class. This class has a limited enrollment so if a smaller group study environment interests you, please call the church office at 273-3379 for more details. As always, please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information at <a href="mailto:lorrell@fbcbentonville.org">lorrell@fbcbentonville.org</a> or 271-0394.<br />Can't wait to see you all again!

Help! What happened to this year? Seems like it has gone by so quickly! Sometime during the holidays, stop and think about some of the things that have happened. Was there a wedding or a birth in your family? A child go off to kindergarten....or college? The death of a loved one? Many of us have had major events. How did you get through it? Did you cling to Jesus? Did you get mad at God? How did you cope? Proverbs 3:5 comes to mind right away: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." We don't have to understand everything that comes our way, trust in Jesus and He will carry you through. Easy? Ha! Not always. Worth it? Absolutely!FBC Bentonville 4Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420116139432697707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072176289653017312.post-55068392284795244032009-10-23T00:16:00.003-05:002009-10-23T00:24:27.988-05:00Mugs and MuffinsMugs and Muffins is this Saturday, October 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.<br />Meet us in the Family Life Center for yummy muffins and a mug of hot coffee or tea (we will have juice for those who don't drink coffee or tea.)<br /><br />Our guest speaker will be Sarah Schafer and you will love her!<br /><br />Sarah:<br />*is a busy, young pastor's wife<br />*mother of four<br />*graduate of Oklahoma Baptist University<br />*married to Abel, Bentonville community pastor at Fellowship Bible Church<br />*grew up in a Christian home<br />*preacher's kid whose dad was chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys football team<br /><br />We look forward to a wonderfuL, encouraging message!<br /><br />Dress is casual and there is no cost for this event.

From their website: ...<em>only nine percent of professing Christians have a Biblical worldview.</em> <em>Because of this, today's believers live very similary to non-believers...we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy, and we begin to wonder what life's ultimate purpose really is. We believe this curriculum can be a catalyst for...change within the body of Christ, as thousands of people are "transformed by the renewing of their mind" (Romans 12:2). As He has throughout history, God continues to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world. </em>I invite you to go the website for this study <a href="http://www.thetruthproject.org/"><span style="color:#3333ff;">http://www.thetruthproject.org/</span></a> to get more information. You can view the trailer and get a good feel for what this course is about. It's a good one!FBC Bentonville 4Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420116139432697707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072176289653017312.post-20884641845929223062009-08-17T10:57:00.002-05:002009-08-17T12:07:35.828-05:00The Bait of SatanChristians girlfriends, have you ever been offended by something that someone has said to you or about you? Have you been offended by something that someone else has done? <br />Let's face it, we have all felt offended by something someone says or does at one time or another in our lives. It's going to happen! Jesus said to his disciples in Luke 17:1 "It is impossible that offenses will not come." <strong><em>The Bait of Satan</em></strong> by John Bevere exposes one of Satan's most deceptive snares used to pull believers out of God's will. It is the trap of offense (or feeling offended.) And most people who are ensnared don't even realize it. So don't be fooled! You are going to be offended and it is up to you how you are going to let it affect your relationship with God. You can learn how to not be ensnared in the victim mentality and walk in forgiveness. <br />Personal example - after I read the first 4 chapters of this book, God had already convicted me about 2 areas in my life that I needed to take care of. Ouch! <br />This will be one of our Tuesday morning studies. I'll post a synopsis of the 3rd study this week.<br />Have a good day!FBC Bentonville 4Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420116139432697707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072176289653017312.post-26350935095018151712009-08-04T12:40:00.005-05:002009-08-04T12:58:09.285-05:00Just to clear things up a little...Need to clear up a little confusion on our Tuesday morning studies for this fall. The way it was listed it looked like we had 5 different studies starting at the same time. Actually, we will have 3 studies begin September 1st:<br /><em><strong>"Sink or Walk on Water"</strong></em> by Michelle Nichol<br /><em><strong>"The Bait of Satan"</strong></em> by John Bevere and<br /><em><strong>"The Truth Project"</strong> </em>by Focus on the Family<br />In the next few days, I will post a synopsis of each study so you can begin praying about which one God would like to do this fall. Believe me, they are all good and it is going to be hard to decide! Let God lead you....He knows where you will be this fall and what He wants to say to you.<br /><em><strong>"Sink or Walk on Water"</strong></em> by Michelle Nichol<br /><em>From Michelle: Have you ever asked "Why would God let that happen?" Well, if you haven't asked it yet, someday you will. Our "someday" came when a doctor's diagnosis rocked our world. When our son turned eight months old, we were told he had cerebral palsy. At that moment, we embarked on a journey of what, at the outset, seemed like an endless voyage through stormy seas. Through the many tears and prayers, we've learned to trust that God will bring us through stormy waters to ones quiet and tranquil - reaching out to guide us all the way. Sink or Walk on Water is a chronicle of our journey so far. This Bible study will take you on a journey through uncharted waters, stormy seas, and sometimes smooth sailing. On this journey, we will learn why there are storms in our lives and how to navigate them. This study will strengthen your relationship with God and provide invaluable tools to use while traversing your own storms of life.</em><br />Please call or email if you have any questions! I'd love to hear from you!<br />Lorrel Lyles<br />479-644-9383<br /><a href="mailto:lorrell@fbcbentonville.org"><span style="color:#663300;">lorrell@fbcbentonville.org</span></a>FBC Bentonville 4Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420116139432697707noreply@blogger.com0
