    Ep. 126: The Doctrine of Man / You Are Created in God’s Image

    In today's episode of the Text-Driven Women Podcast, we're launching into our study in the Doctrine of Man (Anthropology or Humanity) by discussing one of five episodes in this section—you are created in God’s image and likeness. Read Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31; Romans. 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 2:8-10 Discussion Guide:  Summarize the biblical truth shared in this lesson in two sentences.  Read Genesis 1:26-31. Write the first phrase that God said in verse 26. What truth does this phrase reveal? How was the creation of humans different from God's past work of creation? Revisit Genesis 1:1-26 if needed. What do you think it means to be created in God's image? How are humans both a picture and representative of God? What makes a person a person? How does this inform the way God sees us? The way we should see ourselves? The way we should see others? What responsibility did God give the first humans (Gen. 1:28)? Read Ephesians 2:8-10. How are you described in verse 10? How are you stewarding your life and what God has given you dominion over (your things, your work, your family) for God's glory? Have you harbored wrong attitudes, taken wrong actions, or spoken hurtful words against other image-bearers you need to confess before God? Who do you need to contact to seek forgiveness for your thoughts and behavior? How does this strengthen your convictions on the sanctity of life?  How does this text-driven truth affect the way you live your everyday life? Intentional Prayer: Take a moment to consider the reality of being made in God’s image, as His craftsmanship. Ask God to help you see yourself and others in His image, seeing people through His eyes and with a gospel lens.  Meditate and Memorize: Genesis 1:26 Language Studies:  Hebrew tselem = image; derived from "to carve” Hebrew demuth = likeness; indicates "an image which is like us” Greek poiema = workmanship; from where we get our English word “poem”

    Ep. 122: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit / The Spirit Convicts

    In today's episode of the Text-Driven Women Podcast, we're launching into our study in the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit by discussing two of five episodes in this section—the Holy Spirit convicts.  Scripture Index: John 14; John 16; Isaiah 64:6; Isaiah 5:20 Scripture Memorization: John 14:26 and Isaiah 5:20 Discussion Guide:  Summarize today's key truth in 1-2 sentences. Read John 14:26, 16:8, and 16:13. Describe how the Holy Spirit teaches us and guides us according to these verses. Peruse John 15:18-25. Then read John 15:26-16:15. What were the disciples going to face shortly after Jesus' death? Why do you think Jesus chose this moment to talk about the coming of the Holy Spirit? Why does verse 7 say Jesus must go away? How would this be a benefit to the disciples? How does this truth affect the way you live your everyday life? According to John 16, what three specific things does Jesus say the Holy Spirit would convict the world about (vv. 8-11)? And why? According to John 16:12-15, how and what does the Holy Spirit speak? What would the world prefer you use as your guide rather than God's Word and the Holy Spirit? Are you currently being guided by the Holy Spirit? If not, why? If so, what is the evidence?  Notable Quote: Being led by the Holy Spirit can feel a little nebulous at times, but one thing is for sure: As your walk with the Lord deepens and your knowledge of the Word grows, you will become more and more like the One you follow. In other words, as you abide – the Spirit and His fruit will become even more evident in your life. Intentional Prayer: Thank God for sending the Holy Spirit to teach, guide, and correct you. Ask the Holy Spirit to convict you of any knowable and unrecognized sin in your life. Commit to following the guidance of the Spirit with a teachable heart. Commit to reading God’s Word for the purpose of “opening your eyes so that you may contemplate wondrous things from His instruction” (Psalm 119:18).

    Ep. 121: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit / The Holy Spirit is God

    In today's episode of the Text-Driven Women Podcast, we're launching into our study in the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit by discussing one of five episodes in this section—the Holy Spirit is God. Scripture Index: Matthew 28:16-20;  John 14:15-21; John 16; Acts 1:4-5; Genesis 1:2; Romans 8:11  Discussion Guide:  Summarize the biblical truth shared in this lesson in two sentences.  Read Matthew 28:16-20. How did Jesus reveal His authority as God in this passage? What indicates the Holy Spirit has authority as God? Why does it matter that the Holy Spirit is God? Read John 14:15-21. How long will the Holy Spirit be with us? How is the Holy Spirit described in this passage? Read Acts 2:1-12. Describe this scene in your own words. How was the power of the Holy Spirit tangibly felt and seen on Pentecost? Why do you think some sneered at what was taking place (v.13)? How do people still sneer at the work of the Holy Spirit today? For what specific situations in your life do you need the Holy Spirit's comfort? Conviction? Counsel? Guidance? Power?  How is your life different when you're relying on the Holy Spirit? How does this truth affect the way you live your everyday life? Intentional Prayer: Take a moment to consider the reality, power, and authority of the Holy Spirit as part of the Godhead. Thank God for the Holy Spirit's presence in your life and for the Spirit's work in making you more like Jesus (sanctification).
