Believe it or not, Fall is upon us, and that means it’s time for a new quarter of LifeMatters!

The much anticipated audio files from Collegiate Week 2011 are here! 2011-CW-Session-9ThursdayPMMatt_Chandler.mp3

Disagreements. Conflict. If we have breath in our bodies, these things are inevitable. Since we can’t avoid disagreements, we should instead seek out ways to respond to disagreements in a way that glorifies God.

The Fall 2011 issue of Collegiate is available, and we hope you’ve ordered your copy! Over the next 13 weeks, we’ll be looking into the Book of Romans, which shows us Christianity in its infancy, yet full of potential to change the course of history. As college students, we need concrete examples and instructions for how to live the Christian life day by day. Paul’s examination of the gospel in Romans shows us how to live lives that matter. As you’re getting started, we recommend that you purchase and download the Fall 2011 iMix today, as these songs will enhance your study. Just follow the link below, or you can find it on our Collegiate page at lifeway.com/collegiate. If you’re a Bible study leader, you’ll also want to download and print the FREE teaching plans, commentary, and promotional materials available on the site as well!

We’re tight on time this week. Here are the Web features for use with this Sunday’s lesson. As always, let us know your thoughts on this week’s study!

Forgiveness is easy to discuss and hard to do. Our example for forgiveness is Christ, who models perfect forgiveness.

For the month of August, our Bible study will focus on four “one another” commands in Scripture. Not only do these commands teach us how to be more like Christ, they also teach us how to have healthy, godly relationships with the people in our lives. We begin with the most important—love.
