June 28, 2009: NOAH FOUND GRACE

Noah was just a normal guy who walked with God. He obeyed when it didn't make ANY sense and when there was no end in sight. 120 years is a long time to trust and follow God.
(Genesis 6:8-10, 22)

~ What does it mean to "walk with God"?
~ Do you find it difficult to follow God when it doesn't make any sense to you?
~ Do people think you're crazy for living a sold-out life for God?

~ How do you think Noah felt when he was on that boat for 40 days with no end in sight?

God didn't take away the "storm" in Noah's life. He provided a way through it. (Genesis 8:1)

~ What kind of "storms" have you faced in your life?
~ How did God provide a way through it?

Sunday June 21, 2009: Cain & Abel Questions

It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel's offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith. Hebrews 11:4 (NLT)

How does Abel's example of faith still speak to us today?

What are examples of first fruits in our own lives?

Do you struggle to give God your first fruits?

Summer Message Series: Who Are These Guys?

This week kicks-off our summer message series on the main characters from the book of Genesis! Get ready to connect with their stories and understand how God worked in and through them. You will be surprised to know that these guys experienced issues similar to what we face today.

Each Monday we will post a few key questions and thoughts from the Sunday morning message and open it up for our people to make comments on the post.

You'll have the opportunity to comment on something that you learned from studying the lives of these characters. You could even share a story of how God has worked similarly in your own life. It will be fun and inspiring to share our thoughts and see how God is working in us and through us, just as he did with these guys. The God of the Old Testament is the same God we worship today - how is He moving in your life?
