Tomorrow (Tuesday) we begin our CNCF fall Bible study series entitled Who Is Jesus? On Tuesday at 7 PM we'll be in Foster-Harper in the Formal Lounge. On Thursday at 7 PM we'll be in the Wright Formal Lounge. There will be some time of interactive preaching and teaching, and then we'll break into groups for further discussion, prayer, and to get to know each other better.

In Jesus' day, there were a lot of opinions about who Jesus was. Some thought He was John the Baptist reincarnated, or Elijah, or some other dead prophet. But then He asked His own disciples, "Who do you say that I am?"

If Jesus asked you that same question…
…what would you say? Are you resolved in your own mind about who Jesus is? Come join us Tuesday or Thursday; we hope the study will help you come to a fuller understanding of who He is and what kind of life He calls you to.

Here's a quote from J. C. Ryle to whet your appetite for this week:
Let it never surprise us, to find the same variety of opinions about Christ and his gospel in our own times. God's truth disturbs the spiritual laziness of men. It obliges them to think. It makes them begin to talk, and reason, and speculate, and invent theories to account for its spread in some quarters, and its rejection in others. Thousands in every age of the church spend their lives in this way, and never come to the point of drawing near to God. They satisfy themselves with a miserable round of gossip about this preacher's sermons, or that writer's opinions. They think "this man goes too far," and "that man does not go far enough." Some doctrines they approve, and others they disapprove. Some teachers they call "sound," and others they call "unsound." They cannot quite make up their own minds what is true, or what is right. Year rolls on after year, and finds them in the same state,—talking, criticising, fault-finding, speculating, but never getting any further,—hovering like the moth round religion, but never settling down like the bee, to feed on its treasures. They never boldly lay hold of Christ. They never set themselves heartily to the great business of serving God. They never take up the cross, and become thorough Christians. And at last, after all their talking, they die in their sins, unprepared to meet God.

Let us not be content with a religion of this kind. It will not save us to talk and speculate, and bandy opinions about the gospel. The Christianity that saves, is a thing personally grasped, personally experienced, personally felt, and personally possessed. There is not the slightest excuse for stopping short in talk, opinion, and speculation. (Expository Thoughts on Luke)
