God’s justice is perfect. His decisions are always based on His righteous character. God cannot ignore sin because⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is holy. It would be unjust to ignore wickedness, rebellion and sin. God is just and does not show favoritism.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every penalty will be fair and right. God does not treat His children as their sins deserve because Jesus suffered the⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
full punishment for our sins. Because God is just, He will never punish His children for the sin for which Jesus⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
paid on the cross. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
God knows and loves each of His own. He will do all He has promised: care for and make strong; forgive and make new; protect and purify. From the beginning, He has had a plan to restore the world that sin broke, and God is faithful to His own plan. We know God is faithful because He sent His Son to the cross to keep His promise. Now nothing can separate God’s people from His love. He is faithful to Himself and His Word. We can trust Him to keep all of His promises. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Join us for a 2 week Matthew Mini-study of The Parables.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you think of Jesus as a storyteller?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Good Samaritan. The Prodigal Son. Some of history’s most famous stories sprang from the lips of Jesus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BSF’s 2-week study of the parables in Matthew 13 will explore a few of Jesus’ parables and why He used storytelling to teach deep spiritual truth. Through daily Bible reading and questions, weekly podcasts, group discussion and study notes, God’s Word will come to life in new and unexpected ways.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Meet Annie!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hi My name is Annie and I am currently serving as Class Administrator in BSF. Over the past three years, I've also had the priviledge to serve as a Group Leader and a Children's Leader. I enjoy spending time with my family, singing, writing and trying new cuisines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I registered into BSF in January of 2019 and must say that BSF and its community has helped me grow so much in God's Word! The committment I get to witness and learn here is invaluable! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I encourage anyone who is seeking to mature and dig deeper into God's Word, anyone who may need a more structured way to study the Bible, to explore what BSF has to offer. Honor and Glory to our unexpected King Jesus Christ!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I thank God for BSF and all who serve here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We give thanks to God for a smooth transition! BSF 2.0 not up and running! Thank you to Headquarters and all Admin Staff.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When we trust Christ, we can know that God will continue the good work He started in us. God preserves our lives⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for His purpose, and He preserves our salvation. Jesus promised that no one can take you out of God’s hand. No⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
temptation, no failure, no person, not even Satan can cause God’s children to lose their salvation. God preserves us so He will accomplish His purpose for us because He is our preserver.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
