This Week's Bible Study

January 29, 2012
Be Passionate
Deuteronomy 6:4-14; 7:6-9
 
Truth: God’s people are to realize and passionately affirm that He is their Source of life and well-being.
1. Love That Shows Priority (Deut. 6:4-9)
2. Devotion That Never Forgets (Deut. 6:10-14)
3. Grace That’s Undeserved (Deut. 7:6-9)
 
Questions for Application:
1. What are some of the implications for our lives if we accept the truth that God created us and also created the world in which we live?
2. How important is the heart’s spiritual condition in learning God’s ways?
3. What are some implications for a church’s missions mandate in light of the reality that only one, true God exists?
4. What was Moses’ purpose in verse 11 as he stressed the Israelites’ blessings that they “did not provide” but by which they were “satisfied”? What is the connecting theme between verses 4-5 and 13-14?
5. Why is the acquisition of wealth often a challenge to a person’s spirituality?
6. Do you feel chosen by God? To do what? To be what?
7. Where are you waiting for evidence of God’s promise of faithful, covenant love in your family? When you imagine God’s faithful legacy of love flowing through thousands of your future generations, what are your thoughts?
8. What are some of the things Christians need to avoid in today’s culture to live as God’s holy people? Are these instructions you can fulfill no matter what your specific vocation is?
9. How is it apparent to others that the Lord is the most important Person in your life?
10. What one thing can I begin this week which gives verbal or visual evidence of my passionate faith in God?
