  • 1.4 Obedience to God’s Word
    Lesson Title: Obedience to God’s Word
    Scripture Focus: Genesis 6:22
    The Lesson in Context
    The world is a mess and we all need saving. We cannot make choices for anyone else,
    but we can choose for ourselves; we can obey God’s plan and enjoy the benefits.
    Like with the Flood, God’s end-time salvation will both judge the disobedient and
    save the obedient.
    It is critical we view salvation with a right perspective. God promises to be faithful
    and graceful toward us, both now and forever. He invites us to be a part of His
    incredible kingdom. Yet many people respond like the girl in the story. They ask
    questions like, “Do I have to be baptized to be saved? Do I have to speak in tongues
    and live a holy life?” Such questions are preposterous in light of the amazing offer
    God is making. How sad when people discuss salvation in terms of what we have to
    do. Salvation is not a “have to” thing; it is a “get to” thing.
    When we follow God’s Word and accept His invitation to salvation, we get to enjoy
    infinite rewards both now and in eternity.
    Group Discussion
    1. Why do you think some people reject the reality of Creation or a great flood?
    2. Why do some people have a difficult time believing God loves them and wants
    them to be part of His kingdom?
    3. What guidelines has God given for our safety and benefit?
    4. Christians often feel misunderstood and sometimes even mistreated. The
    truth is: everyone feels that way at times. However, what advantage do we
    have as believers in this regard?
    5. What are the odds that you and I would be able to hear and respond to the
    plan of salvation if we had not yet heard it? What would it be like to be “out
    there” not having heard the good news?
    My Prayer for the Upcoming Week
    How do you want to be different because of what you have experienced today?

  • 1.3 Offering Our Best
    Lesson Title: Offering Our Best
    Scripture Focus: Genesis 4:4
    The Lesson in Context
    Sacrifice is good for us. We give to God to show Him how important we think He is,
    not so He can see how special we are. When people commit their lives to a cause
    in obedience to God, it is a sacrifice. It will cost them something. It is not a deal or
    an arrangement. God does not owe people for what they do, even if it literally costs
    them their lives. God did the same for us when He manifested Himself in flesh and
    became obedient unto the death of the cross.
    The best response we can give to God’s call on our lives is to say, “I will offer my
    best and will not expect a reward. I will choose to follow God in every way I know
    how because that is my best service to Him. I will not compare my sacrifice to the
    sacrifice of others; I will compare it to what He asks of me.”
    Group Discussion

    5. What has it been like when you talked with people who have given their lives
    to ministry?

  • Saturday Morning Prayer - 11SEP21

    Because our Sunday Services are so important and we want to make sure the weekend is covered in prayer, we meet at 9:00 am to pray for God's purposes to be performed. There is no limit to what God can do when we pray about things and believe in His power!
    2 Chronicles 7:14 - King James Version
    14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
