Deacon Brenton Beckley presents a lesson on figuring out what we want in life, as well as what we need.
ISAIAH 55:1-7 Only a true thirsting for the water of life will satisfy your soul (v.1-2). What happens to us when we seek things that do not satisfy our souls? What do you think of the quote: “Each of us has about as much of God as we want.” Giving your attention to God will…
JOHN 12:37-46 As prophesied, many Jews chose not to believe in Jesus (v.37-40). How does ‘would not believe’ differ from ‘could not believe?’ What factors would lead to the choice of not believing in Christ? The prophets clearly declared a rejected Messiah (v.38; Isaiah 53:1). How does the context of Isaiah clearly declare Jesus as…
HEBREWS 2:5-18 Instead of subjecting the world to angels, God gave man that role (v.5-9). What can we know about the relative position of angels and mankind? How does the marginal reading of “a little while” help us understand? The One perfected through suffering makes us holy and family (v.10-11). What hope can we have…
JOHN 10:10 Jesus came so that we can have life abundantly (John 10:10). How is life more abundant with our Good Shepherd? How many people would describe you as living abundantly?

The word overcomes self-condemning hearts that rob us of rest (I John 3:20). What assurance does the word offer us in this…
Elder Bob Kline discusses the stories of Naaman from Second Kings (5:1-19) and Hezekiah from Second Chronicles (30:1-22), in an effort to determine the nature with which God desires his people to worship, during a study entitled, “Grace in Worship.”
Psalm 95:1-11 Complaining will harden your heart if you let it (v.7b-9). What did the Israelites do at Meribah and Massah (Exodus 17:1-7)? What happens to the heart of a complainer? How long was God bothered by their complaining? (Hebrews 3:7-11) Complainers allow their hearts to go astray (v.10). If you really know the ways…
PSALM 37:3-4 Instead of fretting, we are to trust in the LORD and do good (v.3). What is it that makes us fret about the wicked? What is wrong with trusting in the LORD without doing good? What kinds of ‘good’ are you doing? We are to dwell in the land and feed on faithfulness…
