NOTES & COMMENTS

Mike Kurtz

Wanted to again apologize for email delays. I accidentally scheduled the delivery times in the afternoon rather than the mornings (guess I don’t know the difference between a.m. and p.m.!). This has been adjusted now. There may be some occasions when the service is down, but that seems to be occurring less frequently now.

Also as you may have noticed, I’ve decided to put the Home Group Questions at the end of each day’s devotion. I used to develop the questions at the end of the week, and then publish late Friday afternoon, but for those who meet say on Wednesday or Thursday, this wasn’t working for you. For those meeting Friday night, this didn’t give you any time to prepare before the meeting. I’m hoping this new format will be more effective. I suppose this could all be resolved if I were to finish the devotionals earlier in the week, but I couldn’t guarantee that.

Lastly I need some input. If you have time, could you comment on the following:

  1. Is this working? Have doing these devotionals in conjunction with Sunday’s message and discussing in Home Groups been helpful in learning and applying the Word to your life?
  2. Any suggestions for improvement?
  3. Since I’m doing the devotionals AFTER the sermon (as opposed to leading up to the next Sunday), those without internet service don’t have a way of getting the devotionals for the week. Do you think it would be worthwhile to print the previous week’s devotionals and put them out in the foyer even though they would be a week behind the sermon?
  4. If you are reading this on the website (versus email), and you have subscribed but aren’t getting emails, could you let me know? There have been some instances where accounts have been “paused” for some reason, and need to be reactivated.

That’s it for now. Remember, all of this is to help us center down on Christ. We can nothing apart from Him. I would like to personally get to a point where I would never want to do anything apart from Him. See you Sunday. -Mike

    1) Is this working? Have doing these devotionals in conjunction with Sunday’s message and discussing in Home Groups been helpful in learning and applying the Word to your life? –> Yep. I like this coordinated approach to Sunday sermons and weekly bible studies.
    2) Any suggestions for improvement?
    ???

    3) Since I’m doing the devotionals AFTER the sermon (as opposed to leading up to the next Sunday), those without internet service don’t have a way of getting the devotionals for the week.

    I wouldn’t use this so I’d ask the people who don’t have internet (I can’t imagine there’s that many…) if they would use this. Of course you’d probably have to ask in person (vs. via e-mail).
