As many of our churches are gearing up their fall education programs, I hope that you are looking for opportunities to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus and in your understanding of the faith. Too often, we start off the fall with a bang. But then, despite our best intentions, we—and our children—skip a few Sundays, we drift away from the class, we drop out of the small group, we flag in our daily study of Scripture.

“Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…’” (Jeremiah 1:4-5)
