I'm excited about our new Bible study material beginning this Sunday.  We are beginning a study about gracious living.  What does that mean to you?  Have you ever thought about living graciously before? 

This is a topical study so we will be looking at several scripture passages each week.  If you are reading ahead why not make these passages a part of your daily routine? 

This week's topic is called "Our Generous God."  How do you view God?  Is he a vindictive tyrant looking to catch you in sin so he can punish you?  Is he more of a loving Grandfather type who gives candy to the grandchild while the parent is not looking?  We have some familiar passages this week that will help us sharpen our view of how God is generous to us.
