The Big Story of God
Week Two: God’s Blessing/Man’s Responsibility
Today’s Verse to Memorize- Genesis 1:28
One of the Bible’s primary themes are clearly laid out in this verse. What are the two themes?
Genesis 1:28- What does God do for mankind? What command does He give mankind here? Why do you think God wants mankind to “fill the earth?”
Genesis 9:1- What did God tell Noah?
Genesis 11:1-9- How is man breaking God’s commandment here? What does God do because of man’s disobedience?
What does this account tell us about God achieving His ultimate will?
Psalm 67- Is it okay to pray for yourself? What do you want to do if God blesses you?
For centuries men and women have prayed that God will bless America? Has He blessed the U.S.? According to Psalm 67, why has He blessed our country?
Has God blessed you? What does God want you to do with those blessings?
“As we journey through the Bible we will discover the parallel nature of the two themes of blessing and God’s purpose/man’s responsibility. The pitfall is failing to keep these two themes in their parallel tension. Our tendency is to see God’s blessings disconnected from His purpose. That perspective will create an egocentric faith.”- Jeff Lewis
How can God use this information for our transformation?
“What are we here for, to have a good time with the Christians or to save sinners?”- Malla Moe
