Book 1 - Chap 1 - How God Uses Groups:                     grp017
The Spirit Brings Life to the Words of Jesus.
Ice Breaker: Tell us about your favorite teacher and how that person inspired you to learn.

Matthew 4: 4Jesus answered, "No one can live only on food. People need every word that God has spoken." (CEV)

Mark 4: 33Jesus used many other stories when he spoke to the people; and he taught them as much as they could understand. 34He did not tell them anything without using stories. But when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them. (CEV)

I John 2: 26I am writing to warn you about those people who are misleading you. 27But Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don't need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. (CEV)

1 Corinthians 2: 6We do use wisdom when speaking to people who are mature in their faith. But it isn't the wisdom of this world or of its rulers, who will soon disappear. 7We speak of God's hidden and mysterious wisdom that God decided to use for our glory long before the world began....
    10God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God. 11You are the only one who knows what is in you own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind. 12But God has given us his Spirit. That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us. 13Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people. 14That's why only someone who has God's Spirit can understand spiritual blessings. Anyone who doesn't have God's Spirit thinks these blessings are foolish. 15People who are guided by the Spirit can make all kinds of judgments, but they cannot be judged by others. 16The Scriptures ask, "Has anyone ever known the thoughts of the Lord or given him advice?" But we understand what Christ is thinking. (CEV)

John 14: 26But the Holy Spirit will come and help you..... The Spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said when I was with you. (CEV)
