| 08/10 | Genesis 12:1-13 | God is the source of all things so you don’t have to be afraid of anything. The meaning of “church”. Every gathering / group is a church. The covenant.

| 08/21 | Genesis 13:10-14:16 | When you make what you possess private, there is separation. The opposite of keeping your stuff private is trust.

| 09/02 | Holy Spirit Stuff (1) | The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with you as an individual and everything to do with you as a member of the body of Christ. The river of living water.

| 09/03 | Holy Spirit Stuff (2) | Holy Spirit stuff destroys your individuality. All the Holy Spirit is doing is making you stop taking yourself seriously.

Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 2 |

| 09/24 | Yom Kippur (2) | John the Baptist. John baptizes Jesus. Matthew 3, Psalm 120 – 134 |
| 09/25 | Genesis 18:1-15 | Teaching on Logos. Logos must be experienced. You must constrain Him. To know Christ after the flesh means to see separation. John 1:1-13, 8:51-58, Ephesians 1:15-23; 3:14-21, Numbers 22:17-19, Luke 24:25-31, 2 Corinthians 5:13-16, Isaiah 45:5-7, John 1:9-13 |

| 10/02 | Genesis 18:9-15 | There’s no situation you can be in that God didn’t put you in. He put you there so you would talk to him. You can’t learn anything about God stuff, you can only turn from old stuff. Galatians 3:23 – 4:7; 1 John 5:5-15 |
| 10/03 | Leviticus 6:8-8:36 | The book of Leviticus is about access to God. |

| 10/17 | Tabernacles | On the eighth day everything is gone except the power of God. Everything is gone except love.
