This Week's Questions:1. How do we better hold in balance our differing theology of faith = rewards?2. How do we get better at discerning Gods purposes for us, when faithfulness could mean blessing or adversity but we naturally move toward the former.3. Can you talk about the differences between the accounts of Hezekiah in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles

This Week's Questions:1. Chronicles 30:20 says the Lord healed the people. Apparently this Hebrew word means physical healing. Traditionally interpreted as meaning forgiven. What’s going on here?2. How do we maintain the tension between the demand for perfect obedience and the priority of the heart?3. What are some of your other favourite passages and why?

Why don’t the biblical authors tell us more about the politics of the day?Jehosaphat faced an existential threat. To what extent is today's secular state of Israel synonymous with God's chosen people and the covenants of the Bible?How could Isaiah’s prophecy of a virgin birth be a sign to Ahaz given he wouldn’t see it in his lifetime?

Jehoshaphat recognised that the battle was against principalities and powers but it was also a real battle. How do we recognise one without ignoring/confusing the other?Stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you. How do we stand firm in a crisis?I’ve heard people make a big deal about the singers leading the army – What do you think?

This week's questions:1. One application was not to support Trump, like evil King Ahab. Harris too has flaws: immigration, inflation, family policies. Why polarisation over compromise?2. None of the leaders of today follow the tenants of the bible. How do we, as Christians decide who we should be voting for as our leaders?3. I’m certain we have diluted our duty to God and His church but where in the historical background of Christian beliefs did the wheels go off the rails?

This week's questions:1. Ironically it was the blessing of God that led to Asa's demise. How do we deal with comfort to avoid becoming comfortable?2. The prophet says that Asa's folly let Aram escape. What does that mean?3. Asa only sought help from doctors not the Lord. What is the relationship between faith in God's healing and going to the doctor?

This week's questions:2 Chronicles 15:13 is an account of the death of those who 'would not seek the Lord'. What are we meant to do about verses like this one?There seem to be a lot of ideals and high places to be removed in Israel. Why?What does it really mean in practical terms to 'seek the Lord'?

1. Do you think Sabbath has anything in particular to say about work?2. When we think of what Sabbath is in today's context we seem to get into details that could easily become legalism. Are we over-complicating the Sabbath?3. Looking at examples from the Bible, is Sabbath mainly observed independently or with others? If mainly with others, what does that look like for GBC as a church?

1. We explored the gods battling each other. There is the command to have no other gods. Is there evidence of other gods?2. Does the Sunday “church service” (for some clergy & lay people) make it difficult for some to observe Sabbath?3. We looked at why we should sabbath. Knowing it’s a practice we don’t often do & whether it be sabbath or something else, isn’t it enough that God commanded it?

In the Big 3, Marc Rader answers the Big 3 questions from Sunday's sermon (11th August, 2024)1. What does observing a Sabbath year look like in our modern life? Should we dedicate an entire (metaphorical) year to trust God and giving out or is it different?2. Practically speaking, if Israel had kept the Sabbath year, would they have prepared for it or blindly trusted God to provide? Wouldn’t prepping undermine trust?3. If generous actions are permissible how can we do them while still resting?

1. The proscription to rest ie. not to work is clear enough. Are we also being implored to do holy things, “Keep it holy”? What does it mean to keep it (be?) holy?2. In the OT sabbath was about physical rest at a prescribed time. What does the NT say about the “new” rest we now have available to us through the Holy Spirit.3. Marc explores some potential future ways to "Sabbath" as a spiritual practice.

1. Can you elaborate on praying specifically rather than sin as a whole? Who are we to decide that, doesn’t God know more about what we need?2. Does God only do something or answer prayers if we ask? What happens if we only praise or repent?3. What did it mean that the Tax Collector went home justified? Can you unpack this idea a bit more?

Here are this week's three questions:Is it realistic to expect "good" answers? How do we reconcile answers that are "bad" or no answer at all?Do we really have to ask God not to lead us into temptation? Or to deliver us from evil?Christians obviously use many forms of prayer. Should we use the Lord's prayer more often?

And is he praying to himself then?If Jesus prays for us and we pray with him, when is it appropriate to pray to Jesus (rather than the Father)?If the disciples are hopeless at praying but still see Jesus’ glory why not just sleep and rely on Jesus’ prays for us?

While We Wait: David's Legacy

GBC | Big Three ·

2024/05/08

The gate was opened for the predestination talk! If we have the choice to accept being headhunted, does that mean there is free will in predestination?David did the preparations when he was told not to build it. Was it God's or David's will for Solomon's temple to be built? Was God speaking of Jesus alone?So we speak about the amazing work of Lebanon Baptist churches with Syrian Refugees - how do we do this at GBC with displaced peoples e.g Aboriginal Peoples ?
