Heavenly substance here and now!

This week’s Bible lesson is on “substance”. The Golden Text is taken from both Hebrews and John

..ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.”
..The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

What’s the logical conclusion when you put these two verses together?

The responsive reading includes Paul’s musings on faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

  • (Section 1) This section explains that God gives wisdom, knowledge and understanding Prov 2:6 and suggests that wisdom is better than rubies. What do you think? And what is real substance? What makes a man or woman of substance?
  • (Section 2) “For we walk by faith, not by sight” II Cor 5:7 What do we have to do to let the Lord direct our paths?
  • Enoch was 365 years old when he ascended, in the Bible a lot of the characters before Noah lived a long long time. Have you been watching “Torchwood – Miracle Day” on the BBC? It raises some interesting questions about immortality, and shows rather gruesomely that simply extending matter isn’t very rewarding! What’s a better concept of immortality?
  • (Section 3) Which synonym for God runs through this section?
  • (Section 4) What is faith? Why did Jesus tell the leper that his faith had made him whole?
  • (Section 5) How is God’s substance reflected by man?
  • (Section 6) Why should we rejoice?

Hope to see you Sunday!
