What was one principle from this Sunday’s sermon that stuck out to you?
Dig In:
Why does God reveal Himself to us? What is the knowledge of God
supposed to produce in our lives?
1 Tim 2:4
2 Pet 3:18
Phil 1:9-10
Heb 10:26-27
Rom 11:33-36
Charles Ryrie – A full knowledge of God is both factual and personal. To
know facts about a person without knowing the person is limiting; to know a
person without knowing facts about that one is shallow.
What is one way God has revealed Himself apart from the Bible? (Psalm
19:1-6, Rom 1:18-20)
Where do you most clearly see God in creation? (e.g. beach, sunset)
Here’s a simple argument for God’s existence (Cosmological Argument)
1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause (c:b)
a. This is the law of cause and effect. No one with any common
sense believes that something will happen without something
that causes it to happen. A cake doesn’t happen without a baker.
A ball doesn’t roll without a roller.
2. The universe began to exist (a:c)
a. Scientists largely believe that the Universe did not always exist,
but came into being at a point in time called the Big Bang.
3. Therefore, the universe had a cause (a:b) Tada!
Can someone be converted by simply by presenting the right argument?
Why or why not?
What is an act of kindness you can do for someone who does not believe?
