We are God’s beloved!

The Golden Text this week is

and the responsive reading this week starts “thou art mine” Isa 43:1 . How cool  is that? We are God’s beloved! The lesson this week’s explores what that means. It’s about better understanding our true identity and relationship with God as His/Her beloved children.

Here are some questions on the lesson to prime our discussion as usual – I do hope you can make it, if not perhaps we can have our class by skype later in the day.

(Section 1) Isaiah instructs us “cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isa 2:22 How do we do that?

(Section 2) How should we see ourselves?

(Section 3) “The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him..” Duet 33:12 How does Moses early life illustrate this?

(Section 4) What do the angels Gabriel and Michael represent?

(Section 5) What does it mean to be the sons (and daughters) of God? How do you understand Christ Jesus as “mediator”?

(Section 6) How does Jesus healing confirm his mission, and God’s love for us?

(Section 7) How are you exercising your “God given authority” and dominion?

(Section 8 ) What qualities of God should we express as God’s elect? ( Col 3:12,14,16 )

(Section 9) Christ Jesus said “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matt 10:8 What a command! He wouldn’t have said it, if he didn’t think we could follow it. How are you following this Christian command?

Hope to see you Sunday! (Everyone under 20 is always welcome in our Sunday School).
