“Live the Word” James 1:22-23

“God’s Word brings my soldiers comfort, security and peace. Thank you for the Military BibleSticks.” — Army Chaplain

Saturday, November 11th is Veterans Day and we once again have an opportunity to express our appreciation to our service members and veterans by providing them with a Military Bi-bleStick. This small digital audio player includes the complete Audio New Testament along with 65 minutes of selected Psalms. The BibleSticks are distributed to military chaplains who then share them with our troops and veterans from all branches of ser-vice. So far, Faith Comes by Hearing has distributed over 845,000 BibleSticks and they get 3,000 requests a week for additional units. Each BibleStick costs $25 to sponsor and our goal is to provide at least 100 BibleSticks. If you would like to help with any amount, please write “BibleStick” on the memo line of your check made payable to Netherwood Park and drop it in the collec-tion plate or give it to any of the office staff. Thanks for helping share God’s Word with our troops!

Job: taught by Britton Pruitt in the West Fellowship Hall Job is a man acquainted with grief and suffering. Reconciling suffering as a part of life is hard to do. Since the beginning of time we deal with issues of suffering, love and the meaning of life. What seems to be harder to reconcile is that God seems to allow suffering and no definite an-swer is given as to why. We will ex-plore Job’s suffering and his family and friends’ feeble attempts to ex-plain his situation to him. We will also attempt to relate his suffering to our experiences. In addition, we will explore how God responds to Job’s suffering, questioning and cries for help.

Small Group Questions October 29th

The Book of Romans: Religious People Need the Gospel Too

When you were young, which of your parents was more strict? Read Romans 2:1-4 How does the story of the prodi-gal and his brother (Luke 15:11-23) illustrate the point Paul is making here? Isn't some judgement appropriate, even necessary? What is the sin of judgement Paul condemns? Read Romans 2:5-10 What are the most important words and phrases in these verses? How so? Do works matter (v6 and following)? What point is Paul making about works? Why does Paul talk about persistence (v7)? What lesson do you think we, as a church, most need to learn from this passage? What lesson do you think our society should learn?

Romans: Religious People Need the Gospel Too Romans 2:1-11

Project 9K - ______________ books read YTD. Affirmation: I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. Romans 1:16

‘They’ and ‘them’ in chapter 1. Paul makes it very clear that ‘they’ (the godless) have no

____________________ for their wickedness. Paul also knows that it is easy and ___________________

to point a __________________________ finger at ‘them’. You, we and me in chapter 2. Any self-satisfied and self-righteous feelings about ‘they’ and

‘them’ are quickly __________________________. Whenever we judge ‘they’ and ‘them’ we are judging our-

selves - self-righteousness is always _________________ ___________________.

Judging isn’t saying ‘that is wrong’ - it is saying ‘you are

___________________ of God’s judgment and I am not.’ Condemning others while __________________________

ourselves is what allows us to hang onto our ___________ _________________________ and our sin.

Two sons. Luke 15 Younger brother is the _______________ from chapter 1. Older brother is the ____________________ people from

chapter 2. Both are lost and __________________ from their Father

and both need the __________________________.

Continually obeying the gospel. Obeying the gospel is not a ______________________. To truly follow Jesus, we must continually respond to and

rely on the _______________________ of Jesus Christ. When we rely on _______________________________

but Jesus to give us righteousness we are ___________ ___________________ the gospel.

God’s patience, tolerance and kindness as he waits for

_________________ isn’t just for ‘them’ - it’s also for us. Works matter. Our works don’t save us, but they are our ____________

that we have __________________ faith. If the works of our _______________ aren’t transformed

by the faith of our _________________, it is fair to ask if our faith is heartfelt and real.

“Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my

faith by my deeds” James 2:18 Testing faith. Do we _________ in doing good - is it a life _________? Do we seek ____________ glory, honor and immortality,

or __________________ glory, honor and immortality? Is the work of our _______ self-serving or other-serving? Do we ________ the truth of the gospel by following evil?

Rewarded faith - glory, honor and peace for everyone who ____________________________ the gospel.

No wonder Paul isn’t ashamed of the gospel - it is the power of God for the salvation of religious people too!
