Bible 201 (Page 2)
Bible 201 is our weekly teaching and training time, where we delve deeply into many different biblical topics. While we look at some of the “what” matters in God’s Word, Bible 201 focuses more on the “why” and “how” of our daily lives as believers. This usually requires taking several weeks, if not months, to work through together. We ask and answer difficult questions, seeking to grow closer to Jesus individually and as a group, so that we may more fully embrace His mission for us.
Prayer Training – Week 6
Themes: Who taught you to pray? How did you learn to pray? Most modern-day believers were taught rote prayers as children, but there’s not much training to pray as an adult outside of seminary.
Prayer Training – Week 5
Themes: Do you know how to pray? Do Christians know how to pray?
Prayer Training – Week 4
Themes: Do you like to pray? Do Christians like to pray? Why/why not?
Purpose of the Church
Themes: Why did Yahweh deliver the Hebrews from bondage? Why didn’t the Israelites subdue ALL of the nations/peoples in the Promised Land? Why did the Israelites desire a king? Why should these accounts matter to modern day Believers?
Prayer Training – Week 3
Themes: What is prayer? Do you/do Christians pray?
Prayer Training – Week 2
Themes: Review: Goals of Prayer Seminar. Praying privately and aloud. Spontaneous, congregate prayer. Ongoing daily regular prayer. Becoming sincere, praying people believing and depending on its power for others and ourselves. Practicing praying aloud among others.
Prayer Training – Week 1
Themes: What is prayer? What shouldn’t prayer be? Why is this important? Why does this matter to me?
New Creation – Week 16
Themes: What if I feel this is unimportant to me? How do I really live for and depend on Jesus? I’m okay with the way I live my life. I don’t need this kind of study.
New Creation – Week 15
Themes: Do I care about following Yahweh’s law? Do I allow the Holy Spirit to manage me and my behavior? Am I willing to change from “my way” to Jesus’ way? Am I exhibiting the fruits of the Spirit?
New Creation – Week 14
Themes: What is our conversion experience? How does it occur? Is it generated by me or by the Holy Spirit?
New Creation – Week 13
Themes: How does transformation occur? How is the human mind renewed? This is rarely, if ever explained (in understandable terms) to Believers.
New Creation – Week 12
Themes: Believers are effectively new creatures because of Jesus’ death for us. Believers should not take Jesus for granted; he is the most special entity ever. Christians struggle with becoming mature to enough to see the world and ourselves through the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
