Men's Bible Study at Rolling Hills Community Church in Lago Vista, TX
In Session 6, "Wandering," you will learn how choosing the path God has planned for you leads to joy and intimacy with him.
The Story: To understand the Bible, says author and pastor Randy Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that puts the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural. Bestselling author Max Lucado also adds some introductory insights. Through these 31 video sessions, The Story small group study opens your eyes to God’s master plan as it unfolds in the lives of the Bible’s characters. Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s.
5. The Lord is looking for
followers who will
passionately honor
and trust Him
6. Israel’s constant grumbling elicits
God’s wrath.
Israel evaluated God’s commands
according to their limited perspective,
disobeying God and refusing to take
the land, condemning an entire
generation to death in the desert.
7. Moses’ years of faithful obedience
did not give him license to disobey,
even once.
Our ability to live faithfully before
the Lord is directly tied to our
constantly remembering
God’s Word.

Point to Ponder – How’s Your Faith?
BC newsman and Meet the Press moderator David Gregory - While David was covering the White House, he had the unusual experience of being asked by President George W. Bush “How’s your faith?” Raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish dad, he had a strong sense of Jewish cultural and ethnic identity, but no real belief—until his marriage to a Protestant woman of strong faith inspired him to explore his spirituality for himself and his growing family.
