Bible Study Questions

Hello Saints,

On Wednesday 2/25/09 we will continue our ride on the Bible Bus in the book of Acts Chapter 13, verses 43-52. Remember to pray and ask the Lord to open the eyes of your spiritual understanding before you begin to study. Remove all distractions and purpose in your heart that you and God are going to spend some quality time together............ you won't be disappointed!!!!
O what wonderful truths are found in these verses. The gospel has been offerred to all, Jews and Gentiles alike. Bless His Name!!!
***REMINDER!!!*** Nat, Geri, and Denise, be prepared to present your Judge on Wednesday.


Our Host on Wednesday will be our own Denzel, and he has provided some questions from the text to help us be prepared. Use him for your Glory Lord!

1) Why was it necessary for the gospel to go first to the Jews?

2) What is a religious proselyte?

3) What does the shaking of dust off of feet symbolize?

4) Verse 52 says that the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. How do you think this was achieved?

Nee-Nee

Church 2/22/09

We were going in the Bible to verses: 

Psalms 32: 1-11

My Notes

God didn't charge me or hold me back for all the stuff I have done that I shouldn't have done. He forgave me and forgot about it. I still have to deal with the consequences, but I'm forgiven.  You will never be able to carry the open or hidden sin in you life. It will always come back to on you. You may be able to hold on for a little while, but the guilt will eventually wear you down.  Don't wait to long to repent. God's grace and mercy does run out.

God Bless

Bible Study 2/18/2009

Hello Bible Students,

On Wednesday February 18, 2009 we will continue our study in the book of Acts. We will pick back up in the 13th chapter of Acts verses 32-42. Let's paise the Lord together saints for the increased interest in the study of God's word, for what could possibly be more important? Please be reminded that although our host will not arrive until about 8:00 pm, we will start at our regularly scheduled time of 7:30 pm to begin our presentation of the Judges. How exciting!!! Consider having a pen and paper available to take notes. Think about it, the study of the Word is more important than any exam or test we will ever take, so let's come prepared.

Our host on 2/18 will be our own Donald. O how I praise God for our teens!!!!

Donald has some questions for us to help us focus:

1 . Who witnessed Jesus going into heaven ?

2 . What mercies of David is Paul talking about ?

3 . Who was the holy one Paul talking about in verse 35 ?

4 . What was the law of Moses ?

5 . Where else can u find verse 40 in the bible ?

6 . Where did Jesus go when he died ?

Church 2/15/09

Title: Prosperity while we are in a recession

We were going in the Bible to verse:

Psalms 1:1-6

My Notes:

Can you say Jesus is your Lord and Savior? Are you blessed or do you have prosperity?

A tree (or human) planted by God will be taken care of. You can have prosperity doing a recession, if you let God take care of you. 

God Bless

Bible Study 2/11/09

LaDonna was speaking

We were going in the Bible to verses:

Acts 13:17-31

Acts 13:17 ------Deuteronomy 7:6

Acts 13:18--------Deuteronomy 1:31

Acts 13:21--------1st Samuel 8:5-

Acts 13:22--------1st Samuel 13:8-

Acts 13:23---------2nd Samuel 7:12

Acts 13: 24-25---------John 19:23,26,31

Acts 13:26-------------Acts 13:16

My Notes:

Why did God choose the Jews? Cause He is God and He can do whatever He wants to. :)

Even though we are rude and rebellious and unthankful. God still puts up with us. Don't think the mercy will last. You can not conquer anything with sin in your life. Remove the sin and gain freedom. 

What kind of father was Jesse to leave his youngest son in the field taking care of sheep. When he knew that a priest was coming to anoint one of his sons to be the future kings of Israel. Apparently , he didn't expect David to be the one God was planning to use. God will always use the one you least expect Him to.

John the Baptist didn't know that Jesus was the Son of God.  

Act 13:26 shows that the Word of God has been sent to every one not just one specific nation.

God Bless

Church 2/8/09 PRAYER REQUEST

Darnell: That he would treat God right

Sharmane: That her kids will always have this love and want for Christ

Wendy: Her health, Krystal's Mom

Nee-Nee: Her trip to the doctor to go smoothly 

Uncle Darryl: Mom's health

Uncle Charles: His Mom and Dad's strength and health

Mrs. Liz: Her Mom's health, Aaron and Julie 

DD: That her Dad will come see her

Denise: That she would find her wallet

Church 2/8/09

Carlton was speaking 

Title: How do we treat our Heavenly Father?

We were going in the Bible to verses:

Genesis 9:11

1st John 4:19-21

John 3:16

John 13:34

John 15:12

1st John 4:20

My Notes:

If it were just you and God hanging out. And you were talking..................how would God say your relationship with Him is doing. Are you relatives, family, friends, BFF, acquaintances,  BFFL..............

What is the status of your relationship with God?

Do you make time in your day to spend time with Him?

Is He the first thing in your life? The second? Somewhere on your list of things to do???

God does so much for us. Keeping us safe, letting stuff work out, protecting us from stuff we didn't even know about. The least we can do is spend time with Him and say thank you. 

God shows His love to us so many different times in His word. We know He loves us more than anyone else. Then why is it sooooooooooooo hard to fit Him into our daily lives. Do you treat God the way He deserves?

It shows you love God when you show love for everybody else. How can you love God who you have never seen, but you can't stand the people around you. You can't draw nearer to God if you don't love Him. 

Can you truly say your trusting in God and still worry about what's happening in your daily life? Just thank God for what He does and don't worry about the rest.

God Bless

Bible Study 2/4/09

lil Gary was speaking

We were going in the Bible to verses:

Acts 13:1-16

Galations 2:9

My Notes:

When the Word won't grow in a person God can't use them. Do you put Jesus in your life first? Do you just fit Him in when you can? Sometimes you have to ask God why you are not including Him in your life like you should. 

If you aren't getting joy out of reading the Word, don't ignore it. Ask God what He is trying to tell you. If nothing happens He might want to see if you will still meet with Him every single day. Even if there isn't as much joy as you would like there to be. 

How do you know if the Holy Spirit is using you?  Speak back to all the demons the beset you. Don't let yourself be taken over by fear or any other thing. Why didn't Paul want anything to do with John Mark? The service to the Lord is nothing to be taken lightly. At times you will have to leave your family to follow Christ. Can you tell the difference from when you spend time with God and when you don't?

God Bless

We were going in the Bible to verses:

Jude 1:4

(I'm sorry there were a lot more verses but I missed them. If you were taking notes that Sunday could you please send them to me)

My Notes: 

God has left help and instruction for every situation in your life in the Bible. If God is taking care of the birds, you can be perfectly sure that He will take care of you as well. America has turned from the standards they used to have. America was founded on thus says the Lord. All magor business are going out of business.  They need a bail out.  What's your bail-out? I've asked you guys that a couple of times in the past. Have you come up with an answer yet????

God Bless
