Q4. The Living God
AngelOnLine replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Yahweh, I AM, the Eternal God (
Q4. (1 Samuel 17:26, 36; Hebrews 10:31) How do you think David's understanding of the Living God enabled him to challenge Goliath? I think it was simply his Faith in the living God. Read Hebrews 10:31 in context. Why should the Living God inspire fear and dread? Those who have rejected Christ and His Message fear and dread the coming judgment. Those of us who have accepted Christ don -

AngelOnLine replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Yahweh, I AM, the Eternal God (
Q3. (Isaiah 44:6; Revelation 1:8) What does the idea of "first" and "last" tell you about God? He has always been, and will always be. How does Revelation 1:8 relate to God's revelation to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM"? He is what He says He is. The One and only true God and without Him we are nothing. -

AngelOnLine replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3. Yahweh, I AM, the Eternal God (
Q1. (Exodus 3:1-15) What does God's name Yahweh reveal about his person and his power It says that He is the Great I Am. He always was, He Is , and always will be. How would an understanding of Yahweh's name contrast him with the idols worshipped by the Egyptians? He is a God of Love and Compassion and has always been. The Egyptian idols are man made idols of wood and stone. -

Q4. (Exodus 17:9-16) In what sense was Moses' rod like a signal pole in this battle? The armies were motivated to fight. As long as they saw the rod being held, up their focus remained on God. When their focus wavered, when the pole was lowered, the focus was only on them. In what sense is the LORD our banner in the battles we face? As long as we keep our focus on Him, He will be our strength.

Q4. Christian Citizenship
AngelOnLine replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #7. Pressing Toward the Goal (Philippians 3:12-4:1)
Q4. (3:18-21) Why is recognizing and affirming your citizenship and allegiance vital to discipleship? Since our citizenship is the Kingdom of God, and we are like aliens here on earth, our allegiance should be on God and His Glory. If we keep our focus on Him instead of earthly things, our main concern will be our walk with our Lord. How does it keep us from the temptations outlined in verses 18 and 19? Don -
Q2. The Upward Call of God
AngelOnLine replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #7. Pressing Toward the Goal (Philippians 3:12-4:1)
Q2. (3:14) What is it like to be called upwards by God? It is to be saved, redeemed. To know that God loves us, no matter what we do. Have you ever experienced this? Yes I have, Praise the Lord! What causes God's call to become dim in our hearing? Our focus leaves Him, and is on the things of this world. We no longer study His Word, or attend Worship Services with other believers. How can we renew our hearing of his call? Get into a Bible Study group with other believers and pray consistently. What is the content or specifics of this message or summons or call? Just like the song says, -
Q1. (3:13) How can the past get in the way of our quest to know Christ? If we have done things in our past that make us feel like we are worthless and a failure, then we will not have our focus on God. We will be focused on what was instead of what could be. What do you need to "forget" so that you may focus on Christ today and tomorrow? I have asked for and received forgiveness so I need to forget my past and the guilt of my sins, so my focus will be on Christ and not what I used to be. Is there forgiving you need to do so you can grow in Christ? There will always be the need for us to forgive. I had thought that I had forgiven everyone, but one Sunday, after a Sermon on Forgiveness, I went home and tried to make a list of everyone I had forgiven or needed to forgive. As I was writing down one name under the column "has been forgiven" I tried to move on to another name but kept going back to it. I told myself that I had forgiven him but I knew at that moment that I hadn't really forgiven him but had only said the words. I agree with Alicea, I also need to forgive myself.
