SUMMARY:Bible Study - Galatians
DESCRIPTION:At EOU in Action\, we are focused on Jesus\, the Bible\, and mission. When we thought about a section of the Bible that would enhance a student’s understanding (and our own!) of all three focuses\, the book of Galatians was a clear choice. \nOn the surface\, Galatians appears to be about an early Christian controversy about what it means to be a Christian. One group thought that in order to be connected to Jesus\, you essentially had to become Jewish; this meant participating in the ritual of circumcision as well as obeying the laws found in the Old Testament. But Paul\, the writer of Galatians\, did not agree with this thinking and wrote a heated rebuttal to the position. Why was this issue so important? \nWell\, it turns out that there is a much deeper issue at stake. Galatians addresses for all people at all times what they must do in order to have God’s love and favor. The key question that is answered in Galatians could be posed like this: \nIs eternal life an exchange\, where we must do certain things in order to be made acceptable to God\, after which God gives us eternal life as a reward for good living?  Or\, is eternal life more like a gift? \nIf you want a sneak peek\, here is our summary statement for Galatians: \n“The gospel is not about what we must do for God in order to earn His favor\, but what God has done for us in Christ.  Therefore\, eternal life is not available by relying on what we do for God\, but is available by receiving what God has done for us.” \nIf you want to get involved in our group\, please sign up at https://www.eouinaction.org/join. \nKeep in mind that we meet two Sundays in a row\, then take a week to do something different (like a social\, serve\, or worship night).

SUMMARY:K House Thanksgiving Serve Project
DESCRIPTION:K House is putting on it’s annual Thanksgiving serve project and EOU in Action will join to help out! \nVarious local churches will have already contributed ingredients and food products to help families in the La Grande area to have a Thanksgiving meal where they might not be able to afford otherwise. Our role will be to package and deliver the meals\, and to generally be a blessing to the families that we serve.  This is a great opportunity to partner with what other christians in the area are doing! \nIf you’re available to help\, please contact Matt Sheeks using the contact info below.

SUMMARY:Christmas Party!
DESCRIPTION:The end of the term is upon us and EOU in Action will be celebrating “Baptist style.”  No booze\, no dancing\, no games\, and most importantly\, no fun! \nWe’re kidding\, of course. \nWe will have people over to one of the EOU in Action leader’s home for awesome food\, cider\, Christmas desserts\, and some pretty cool (but totally appropriate) games.  We’re pretty serious about the Bible\, but even we can have some fun and not be so structured on occasion too. \nIf you want to get in on the action\, please contact Matt Sheeks using the contact info below.

When we thought about a section of the Bible that would enhance a student’s understanding (and our own!) of all three focuses\, the book of Galatians was a clear choice. \nOn the surface\, Galatians appears to be about an early Christian controversy about what it means to be a Christian. One group thought that in order to be connected to Jesus\, you essentially had to become Jewish; this meant participating in the ritual of circumcision as well as obeying the laws found in the Old Testament. But Paul\, the writer of Galatians\, did not agree with this thinking and wrote a heated rebuttal to the position. Why was this issue so important? \nWell\, it turns out that there is a much deeper issue at stake. Galatians addresses for all people at all times what they must do in order to have God’s love and favor. The key question that is answered in Galatians could be posed like this: \nIs eternal life an exchange\, where we must do certain things in order to be made acceptable to God\, after which God gives us eternal life as a reward for good living?  Or\, is eternal life more like a gift? \nIf you want a sneak peek\, here is our summary statement for Galatians: \n“The gospel is not about what we must do for God in order to earn His favor\, but what God has done for us in Christ.  Therefore\, eternal life is not available by relying on what we do for God\, but is available by receiving what God has done for us.” \nIn addition\, for the Winter & Spring 2020 terms\, we’ll be adding some apologetics into the mix.  Apologetics is essentially the study of how to use logic and reasoning to explain why God exists\, how we know Jesus was a real\, historical figure\, and how we can be confident that he rose from the dead\, among other things. \nIt’s a great way to learn how to talk to other people about God\, or to learn more about Him\, for those who are questioning His existence. \nWe’ll alternate between apologetics and Galatians on Tuesday nights\, with a different event (like a social\, serve\, or worship night) every third week. \nIf you want to get involved in our group\, please sign up at https://www.eouinaction.org/join. \n

SUMMARY:Social/Serve Night (TBD)
DESCRIPTION:At EOU in Action\, we are focused on Jesus\, the Bible\, and mission. When we thought about a section of the Bible that would enhance a student’s understanding (and our own!) of all three focuses\, the book of Galatians was a clear choice. \nOn the surface\, Galatians appears to be about an early Christian controversy about what it means to be a Christian. One group thought that in order to be connected to Jesus\, you essentially had to become Jewish; this meant participating in the ritual of circumcision as well as obeying the laws found in the Old Testament. But Paul\, the writer of Galatians\, did not agree with this thinking and wrote a heated rebuttal to the position. Why was this issue so important? \nWell\, it turns out that there is a much deeper issue at stake. Galatians addresses for all people at all times what they must do in order to have God’s love and favor. The key question that is answered in Galatians could be posed like this: \nIs eternal life an exchange\, where we must do certain things in order to be made acceptable to God\, after which God gives us eternal life as a reward for good living?  Or\, is eternal life more like a gift? \nIf you want a sneak peek\, here is our summary statement for Galatians: \n“The gospel is not about what we must do for God in order to earn His favor\, but what God has done for us in Christ.  Therefore\, eternal life is not available by relying on what we do for God\, but is available by receiving what God has done for us.” \nIn addition\, for the Winter & Spring 2020 terms\, we’ll be adding some apologetics into the mix.  Apologetics is essentially the study of how to use logic and reasoning to explain why God exists\, how we know Jesus was a real\, historical figure\, and how we can be confident that he rose from the dead\, among other things. \nIt’s a great way to learn how to talk to other people about God\, or to learn more about Him\, for those who are questioning His existence. \nWe’ll alternate between apologetics and Galatians on Tuesday nights\, with a different event (like a social\, serve\, or worship night) every third week. \nIf you want to get involved in our group\, please sign up at https://www.eouinaction.org/join. \n
