    Seeing Each Other Through God's Eyes - Part 5

    Seeing Each Other Through God's Eyes - "Sometimes Even Christian Get It Wrong" Colossians 2:8 NIV See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. 1. Christians can get it wrong when we let culture shape us instead of Scripture. 2. Christians can get it wrong when we make human reasoning the starting point instead of Scripture. 3. Christians can get it wrong when we allow our experiences to define biblical truth instead of allowing biblical truth define our experiences. 1 Corinthians 15:35-49 NIV But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishableit is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in powerit is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. Isaiah 35:5-6 NIV Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Galatians 3:26-29 NIV So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faithfor all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Colossians 2:8 NIV See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

    Seeing Each Other Through God's Eyes - Part 1

    Seeing Each Other Through God's Eyes - Part 1 Part 1 - "Made in the Image of God" John 3:16 NIV For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 NIV But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. WHY DOES GOD LOVE YOU? Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of Godnot by works, so that no one can boast.For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Defining a Theology of Disability "Studying Scripture to understand how God views and relates to those with disabilities, then applying that biblical understanding to a biblical worldview so that we as Christians not only learn how to view people with disabilities from a biblical perspective, but we learn how to see others through God's eyes." Genesis 1:26 NIV Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” Psalms 8:4-5 NIV what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. What does it mean to be made in the image of God? Why does God love you? God doesn't love you because of what you do... He love you because of who He is. Ephesians 1:4 NIV For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love How will you apply what you learned today?

    Summer in the Psalms - Part 7

    Summer in the Psalms - Psalms 17 Psalm 17:1-15 ESV Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right!You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wingsfrom the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me.They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.Arise, O LORD! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your swordfrom men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness. A life of persistent problems demands a life of persevering faith. Three practical responses to persistent problems... 1. Persevering Prayer (Psalm 17:1, 6, 13) 2. Persevering Holiness (Psalm 17:1-5) 3. Persevering Confidence (Psalm 17:6, 8, 15) Bible Study Help This is a great Bible study tool.
