M&M Week 2: I AM the bread of life


First week is behind us, how did your meditating and memorizing go?  I hope that it has been a time of rest and encouragement for all of you.  Please read the message from Barb, followed by next week's verse and your links to view or listen to our lesson.  Enjoy!

Hi ladies,
I trust the Lord is meeting you as you taste and savor the Bread of Life in His Word.  The words that come to mind which I need today are: Slow Down. Breathe. Eat Slowly. Open Your Hands.  Receive.  He is here.
Let's pray for each other as we fight the fight for joy in our God.

Love,
Barb

M&M "I AM" Series - Week #1


Welcome to Week 1 of M&M!  We are so glad you are here.  Are you ready to meditate on and memorize the great "I AM" verses from Jesus?  Here is a special note from Barb, followed by your first verse and quick links to the video/audio for our first lesson.  Love to you all!  Leslie

Dear Ladies,
I am so happy that it's time to M&M again! Our first video series, By Faith, began last fall, as Dave and I were making the big move to Japan; and now, just last week, we celebrated our 6-month anniversary of being here! I can't believe that much time has passed!

Our new theme is RED M&Ms - THE I AM SERIES.  We will be meditating on 8 verses which are the words of Jesus Himself, about Himself.  He tells us who He is: the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Gate, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection, the Way, Truth, and Life, the Vine, and the Alpha and Omega.  Jesus Himself invites us in Isaiah 55:2,3:  "Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.  Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live."

So, here we go on our new journey, my friends.  Remember M&M's life verse?
Your words were found, and I ate them,
 and  Your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by Your name,
 O LORD, God of hosts.  Jeremiah 15:16 (ESV)

I'll be praying that as you Meditate on & Memorize His Word, you will taste and see for yourself that the Lord is good.  I trust Him to make His Word a joy to you and the delight of your heart, for you are called by His name.

To the King!  To the Kingdom!
Love,
Barb

Our first verse:
JOHN 6:35 - Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”
