Friday

BIBLE READING: Hebrews 13: 15, 16

 MAIN IDEA:  “How do we grow a tender heart in a calloused world?”

DISCUSSION: 

 Part 4 - Look for opportunities to do well.

If we spend our time doing good, evil will not easily enter our lives. Get busy serving God, doing good and you want have time for evil.

 Psalm 11:7 The LORD always does what are right, and he loves seeing people do right. Those who live good lives will be with him.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

The reward for doing good and doing what is right is great! The way to get that reward is so simple; just follow Gods plan.

 Psalm 106:3 Those who obey his commands are happy. They do good things all the time.
Psalm 112:5 It is good for people to be kind and generous and to be fair in business.

By doing good we will reap rewards of – life, loyalty, love, goodness, and honor.

 Proverbs 14:22 whoever works to do good will find love and loyalty. It is a mistake to work at doing evil. 

 Proverbs 21:21 People who try hard to do good and be faithful will find life, goodness, and honor.

APPLICATION:  
Hebrews 13:16- And don't forget to do good and to share what you have with others, because sacrifices like these are very pleasing to God.

Praise, prayer, and thanksgiving to God, with good works of love and mercy to man, are the sacrifices which every genuine follower of Christ must offer. These please God and help ground you as a Christian. As a family or individually, plan a good deed for this week.

 Prayer Requests

Woodlawn Family Bible Study TUESDAY BIBLE READING:    Genesis 32:22-32 Do you want to be blessed? That sounds like a rhetorical question, doesn’t it? Who doesn’t want to be blessed? I guess it really depends on your definition of “blessed.” Many people desire blessings that will make them wealthy or, perhaps, material goods. However, being blessed is not limited to those physical things. In fact, sometimes we can be blessed in the most unusual ways. For instance, in Genesis 32:26, we find Jacob wrestling with what we often call an angel. Within the story, Jacob is overtaking the angel and holding him down; refusing to let go until the angel gives him a blessing. The angel obliges Jacob, but not in the way he might have imagined. The angel changed his name from “Jacob” to “Israel,” but he also did something else. He put Jacob’s hip joint out of socket, causing him much pain and difficulty walking. In part, his blessing had to do with him walking with a limp. How is tha...

Resolutions: Draw closer to God through study of His word

BIBLE READING: John 14.7 Spend time alone with God’s Word.  Besides the spiritual growth we will gain from study, we will also come to know Him better.  Reading His word brings us in touch with Him.  Jesus tells us in John 14:7 – “If you had known Me, you would have known my Father also.”   Just studying the life of Jesus will help us to know God better.   In seeking God’s help, we can draw closer to Him through prayer, meditation, nature, and study.   “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:2  I Tim.4:13,15 - “Give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine… meditate on these things; give yourself wholly to them.”   Regardless of our circumstances we can rely on God’s unchanging character.  God is good. God loves me. God is with me. God knows my problems. God cares. Romans 8:31(b) tells us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Make a resolution to slo...

“Examples”

BIBLE READING: Mark 13- Luke 1 DISCUSSION                                                                                   This past week we have read of some great examples in the bible.   We read in Mark 13 about us being ready and being prepared for when Jesus returns.   We need to all stay awake!   In Mark 14 we read of one action having such an impact.   How this woman gave her very best to Jesus because of her love for Him.   In Mark 15 we read of Pontius Pilate and his desire to keep his power.   He loved his power and did not want to give it up even if that meant sending an inno...
