Has God Answered Your Questions?
|
Download MP3 As of 2008, there are over 400 Christian denominations in the United States alone, and thousands around the world. Are they ALL right?
Any question that we have concerning God can be answered by God's word. John 1:1 says “in the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God.” The Word of God, the Bible, and God himself are one in the same. The question of God's one true church cannot be answered with opinion, but rather directly from the Bible. |

Download MP3 What is God’s view on dating? The answer to this question can be found at the beginning of the Bible. Genesis 2:24 reads, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife.” This passage makes it clear that a man and a woman were made to be joined as one. The goal of dating should ultimately be the search for a long-term relationship that will lead to marriage. |

Download MP3 Why are we here? To answer this we first have to answer the question of creation. Why did God create people in the first place? What was his purpose?
God created us for his pleasure and glory. We are told this in Revelations 4:11 and Isaiah 43:7. God delights in us. He wants companionship. He created us with a soul, and mind to choose to live for him. This was instated at creation when the choice was put before Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They were told that they could partake of anything in the garden except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
If man was not to have a choice, but were predestined to heaven or hell, why did God even place the tree there? |

Download MP3 “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul, neither said any of them that ought of the thing which he possessed was his own, but they had all things common.”
Being a part of God’s church does not mean that you attend a service or meet at a church building. God’s church is not a building with four walls and a sign outside, nor is it a social event. God’s church is a body of people who are of one heart and one soul with the same spirit, believing that Jesus’ death on the cross made it possible for you and I to live with victory over sin every day.
There are saints of many ages, races, and walks of life that have all come to know God and are now members of his body, the Church of God. Take the time and listen to the testimony of three such people who came to know God in different ways but who have all come to adopt their own personal belief in God and his goodness.

The lesson started with a discussion on the importance of trust in our relationship with God and one another.
We read Proverbs 3:5-6
Then we discussed the thought of completely trusting God for all our needs and just how difficult it is to blindly trust.
Many things go into learning to trust. We must allow God to prove himself to us which takes time. The same holds true with trusting one another, it takes time and proving one another.
Next we had an exercise where we were to walk through a series of obstacles blindfolded with verbal instructions.
Each person in class had an opportunity to take a stab at being the guide and the one who was blindfolded.
Afterwards we discussed what we felt like when we ran into an obstacle our guide was to keep us from doing.
This led into the main lesson of what is required to really trust. (Based off an article Bro Dan had read recently)
Trust has to be based on the truth.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.
We can always TRUST God. God will never lie to us Sometimes it seems like God has failed us, but he hasn’t. It is not enough to only say that we trust God, but we need to prove it by our actions.
Trust in another requires:
- A relationship built on honesty
- That all parties match their words and feelings by their thoughts and actions
- Following through with something we say we are going to (We keep our promises)
- Remaining devoted to those who are not in our presence (Not running down or allowing others to run down others)
- Exhibit a humble attitude
- Not partial or unfair
- Hold ourselves accountable for our actions
- Just to those who aren’t just with them
- Give people who aren’t respectful, respect (Two wrongs don't make a right)
We followed up with a discussion around communication; we need to promote good communication and understanding to maintain trust..
Communication is a key in building a strong, healthy relationship. (ever try and have a relationship with someone you never speak too)?
Most importantly it is important to have communication with God. |
