Sunday fellowshipping

At GICF. A young man gave a sermon on loving Jesus. One of the church officers gave a talk about renewing the church's application to worship in the hotel and to urge everyone to abide by the rules of not bringing local Chinese into the fellowship (a big no-no). After lunch, I went to the 3-self church for the men’s fellowship, while L. headed back home.

G. led a Bible study on the "Romans Road" with me and another woman. I might consider coming to this gathering more. It's more personal, offering an easier environment to share and listen. About 40 people, broken up in 6-7 groups, conducted Bible studies, based on the "Romans Road" and other like material. Each group was at different chapters/levels. The room was air-conditioned, an added bonus.

Once through, I joined the men's fellowship in progress. J. was leading it, in Chinese. I didn't catch much of the theme, but heard them discuss the differences between the old and new covenant. J. was quoting all sorts of Scripture from memory, which was impressive. Some of the Scripture that we went over....

Revelations 19:11-19

Romans 8:30-32, 10:14-15

Luke 12:4-8

John 3:34, 14:27, 16:33

Matthew 16:21-23

2 Kings 22:13

2 Timothy 1:7

Matthew 9:35-38

Hebrews 8:8-12

1 Peter 1:19-21

2 Peter 1:21

J. and I prayed together. It's always a blessing to share prayer with a brother in China.

I later went to evening Bible study, which I helped facilitate. It'd been a long time since I'd been to it. I've missed it. We went over John 11 today, about Lazarus raised from the dead.
