Book 1 - Chap 2 - How God Teaches Us To Be Good Servants:         grp026
God's Spirit and Our Hope for Glory.
Ice Breaker: When you were small what was something wonderful that you hoped for?

Luke 24: 44Jesus said to them, "While I was still with you, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen." (CEV)

Romans 8: 1If you belong to the Jesus Christ, you won't be punished. 2The Holy Spirit will give
you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you free from sin and death. (CEV)

Colossians 1: 25God's plan was to make me a servant of his church and to send me to preach his complete message to you. 26For ages and ages this message was kept secret from everyone, but now it has been explained to God's people. 27God did this because he wanted you Gentiles to understand his wonderful and glorious mystery. And the mystery is that Christ lives in you, and he is your hope of sharing in God's glory. (CEV)

Acts 26: 6Now I am on trial because I believe the promise God made to our people long ago. 7Day and night our twelve tribes have earnestly served God, waiting for his promised blessings. King Agrippa, because of this hope, some of their leaders have brought charges against me. (CEV)

Isaiah 34: 16In The Book of the Lord you can search and find where it is written, "The Lord brought together all of his creatures by the power of his Spirit. Not one is missing." 17The Lord  has decided where they each should live; they will be there forever, generation after generation. (CEV)

Isaiah 35: 1Thirsty deserts will be glad; barren lands will celebrate and blossom with flowers. 2Deserts will bloom everywhere and sing joyful songs. They will be as majestic as Mount Lebanon, as glorious as Mount Carmel or Sharon Valley. Everyone will see the wonderful splendor of the LORD our God. 3Here is a message for all who are weak, trembling, and worried: 4"Cheer up! Don't be afraid. Your God is coming to punish your enemies. God will take revenge on them and rescue you." 5The blind will see, and the ears of the deaf will be healed. 6Those who were lame will leap around like deer; tongues once silent will begin to shout. Water will rush through the desert. 7Scorching sand will turn into a lake, and thirsty ground will flow with fountains. Grass will grow in wetlands, where packs of wild dogs once made their home. (CEV)
