UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE THIS SUNDAY


IT'S TIME ONCE AGAIN TO GET BACK ON CAMPUS!

Our Jolly Beggars Bible study will load the cars and head on down to U.T. campus for a Sunday evening Apologetics Bible study. Yessssss!

I LOVE to go on campus and meet up with the hungry, dynamic kids at the University of Tennessee. The many times I've been at either Reese Hall or Hess Hall have been great.

We're going to share the restfulness of Jesus as taught through the Scriptures.

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28


The word REST is important to know. Jesus gives us anapauo {an-ap-ow'-o}

Strong's Concordance says it means "to cause or permit one to cease from any movement or labour in order to recover and collect his strength." I think that's what a lot of Christians need to do - collect their strength. You KNOW that a college student today needs to sit back and get a restful time with Jesus. I think one of the most frequent words used by Christian college students - and nonbelievers as well - is "busy." Always preoccupied with classes, functions, deadlines, studies, holidays...and very little time for Jesus Himself. We need a rest. We need anapauo - a time to recover our strength.

Meet at my house at 6 p.m. We'll get the caravan moving!
