Noah's Ark

(Message recorded June 16, 2013) Genesis 6:9-10 (NLT) This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with Noah was the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. BIG IDEA: Before Noah FLOATED in a WOODEN SHIP with animals, he WALKED in FELLOWSHIP  with God. Discovery Bible Study- [Read Genesis 6:9-9:17 (page 6-8).  Write Genesis 8:20-22.]

Jonah and the Great Fish

Message recorded June 9, 2013 BIG IDEA: If you want to learn a lesson THE HARD WAY, try RUNNING from God. Jonah 1:17 (NLT) Now the Lord had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights. Matthew 12:39 (NLT) But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.” Discovery Bible Study [Read Jonah 4 (page 702).  Write Jonah 4:1-4.]

Daniel and the Lions

Daniel and the Lions (Recorded May 26, 2013)

Daniel 6:16 (NLT) So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.”

Daniel	Most of Us
Characterized by integrity	Characterized by compromise.
Loyal to God and to human authority.	Loyal to our own interests.
Doing the right thing landed him in a lion’s den for a night.	Doing the easy thing lands us on the wide road to hell for eternity.

KEY DIFFERENCE: Daniel recognized God as the true king of his life.

Jacob, Leah and Rachel

Back to (Sunday) School: Jacob, Leah and Rachel - Message used with permission from LifeChurch.tv

Genesis 29:16-18 (NIV) ¹⁶ Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. ¹⁷ Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was lovely in form, and beautiful. ¹⁸ Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel." When you wrongly believe that marriage is the answer...

1. You COMPROMISE more than you should. 2. You become DEMANDING. 3. You will always end up DISSATISFIED.

Cain & Abel

Genesis 4:8 (NLT) One day Cain suggested to his brother, “Let’s go out into the fields.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother, Abel, and killed him.

1 John 3:11-12a (NLT) 11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 We must not be like Cain…

KEY QUESTION: Am I bringing God’s KINGDOM or raising CAIN?

The Bible

(Message recorded 5/5/2013) Often we meander through life, moving towards whatever catches our attention at the moment.  The Bible shows us that life is more like a race, with a course set out for us by God, and a finish line that is just the beginning.

Holy Spirit

(Message recorded April 28, 2013) In the triune (three-in-one) God, the Holy Spirit is perhaps the most mysterious and neglected "person".  And yet He is there in Genesis 1, through the Old Testament, and explodes into prominence as Jesus entrusts His followers to change the world--in the power of the Holy Spirit.  That power and that Spirit are as real today as they were 2,000 years ago.  What would it look like to live in the power of the Spirit?

Jesus Christ and Salvation

(Message recorded April 21, 2013) If you think Christianity is primarily a code of conduct, you haven't heard the whole story.  Jesus Christ is the resolution of our troubled past, the power for living today, and the hope for life eternal.  We can be assured of our repaired relationship with God when we stop trusting our own efforts and put our trust in Christ. BIG IDEA: Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the live. No one can come to the Father except through me.”  (John 14:6) THIS WEEK’S READING: Romans 7-9 (pages 861-864) Discovery Bible Study (For a more in-depth guide, visit newdaywi.com.) 1.

God

Nothing Else Matters, Week 1: God (Message recorded April 7, 2013) Romans 1:20 (NLT) For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. From New Day’s Constitution (Article 3, Statement of Faith) About God: God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.  Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14 THIS WEEK’S READING: Romans 1-3 (pages 857-859) Discovery Bible Study (For a more in depth guide, visit newdaywi.com.) 1.
