THE QUESTION THAT NEVER GOES AWAY – WHY? by Philip Yancey. The theme of the book emphasizes the challenge of finding meaning in the midst of suffering. In other words, the book addresses our cry of “WHY GOD” exemplified by three devastating calamities that have stunned us with horror: The Newtown murder of primary grade children; the death of 19,000 Japanese as a result of the tsunami; the 11,000 men, women, and children killed by sniper fire in Sarajevo, during Yugoslavia’s civil war. Yancey shares his own life experience as he reconciles God’s presence when he experiences suffering, as part of his own life journey, The insight Yancey shares with us will hopefully provide spiritual nurture in responding to our own times of suffering. |

Bible Study Group
Posted on:Sep 12 2015Bible Study Group
Thursday from 1:30 – 3 pm.
Read Acts 7:17-34 and reflect on the following questions:
1. Why is Moses such a defining character to the Jewish people?
2.What was Stephen getting at by retelling the story of Moses?
3. Why is it so important that we do like Stephen does here and accurately tell the story of what God has done before?
4. When we lose the “big picture” of God’s story, we run the risk of getting out of step with what God is doing?
5. read Acts 7:35-53
6. What is the main point Stephen is making?
7. When did Israel’s problem with idolatry begin?
8. Do Christians today still fall into idolatry?
9. Being a martyr is being a witness. What does Stephen’s martyrdom give witness to?
The above questions were taken from Dr. N.T. Wright’s Acts – Extra Teaching Points #9. Further commentary on the questions may obtained through an interpreter’s bible or by accessing the web site www.greateraltonchurch.org.
Everyone is welcome to attend!

Fellowship following Worship
Posted on:Nov 9 2013Join us for a ‘fellowship hour’ each week after worship for a snack and beverage.
Is Hospitality Biblical or Just Being Friendly
Why do we have fellowship after church and what is the significance if this gathering for Christians? Dr. N.T. Wright comments that the notion of the “refreshment” we receive when the faith community gathers (Acts 3: V19) was unusual in the new testament. He states, “However, it is by no means unusual in the Christian experience…again and again in worship and sacrament, in reading and scripture, in fellowship and prayer we taste in advance just a little bit of the coming together of Heaven and Earth, the sense that this is what we are made for, the new world which we will finally enjoy. It is available for all who seriously seek it.”
