Let God Speak

When we think about education, we normally think of going to school—primary school, high school, TAFE, university. We think of classrooms, whiteboards, timetables and assignments. However, there is another important place where education occurs: the church! Let’s explore how significant the role of the church is in the learning process. The Harvard Business Review recently ran an article with a fascinating title: “The Surprising Power of Questions.” The authors (Alison Brooks and Leslie John) say that questioning is a missed opportunity, and it is a powerful tool for unlocking value. Over 80 years ago, Dale Carnegie wrote his famous book: How to Win Friends and Influence People. “Be a good listener. Ask questions the other person will enjoy answering,” he said. Even still, the article in Harvard Business Review went on to say “Most people still fail to heed Carnegie’s sage advice.” Hosted by: Dr Sven Östring Guests: Kaysie Butler, Pr Mike Browning Download the study notes at this link: https://www.3abnaustralia.org.au/resources/downloads/lgs-notes/

C S Lewis, the 20th century atheist who became a Christian, once said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” It is like that with the Christian Bible. By it we understand the big questions of life — origins, meaning, and destiny. The Bible tells that story. But today we will look at a particular part of that theme; God as our teacher on the subject of redemption, and our role as His students.So, have your Bible ready as we begin.

Worship is a part of humanity, and it is central to the Christian experience. Whether we realise it or not, we all worship something. God has given clear instructions on what is healthiest for us to worship. Our Bible study today will investigate this.

Have you ever wanted to see God’s face; to stand in awe and adoration before the Almighty? As sinners we can’t see God right now, but through His character, we can know what He is like in character. Today’s study of the bible will explore this.

For someone who is trying to figure out what is real truth, the world can feel like a very confusing place. People have so many varying ideas and worldviews, and they all claim to be telling the truth. It can feel like quite a confusing maze! How do we know which worldview is true? The good news is this; through the Bible, God has revealed to us His transcendent understanding of the world. In this study we will explore God’s worldview, and how we can share it with others. In 1999, Warner Brothers Studios produced what is now considered to be one of the greatest science fiction films ever created. The Matrix. A very thought-provoking film on many levels. The basic premise is this: people are trapped inside a Matrix, but don’t realise that they trapped. It takes a computer nerd (called Neo) to free people from this Matrix. Reflect on the message of that film, as you do, you might detect parallels between it and the biblical theme of salvation, though the film’s version is a bit distorted. The critical problem in the film, is that reality is not what it seems: we believe we’re living ordinary lives, going to work in the morning, and coming home to our families in the evening. But the reality is nothing like that. That’s simply an illusion—a computer simulation. The film’s plot says that the truth is more complicated, we are actually trapped inside a giant Matrix, and highly intelligent machines are using us, like a human farm, and are harvesting our energy. In the film Neo needed to come to understand that truth, and then he could save all of humanity.

The law of God is a transcript of His character. It reveals to us what God is like and what is important to Him. God’s Law also teaches us what it means to live lives of love, of faith and of obedience to Christ. Today’s Bible study will examine these truths.

True education deals with the combined physical, mental and spiritual aspects of a person. For most of human history, education took place primarily in the home. As a consequence, the family should be understood as our first schoolroom. Today’s Bible Study will look at the vital role our family plays inour development.

Today we begin a new series of studies on the true principles that should drive Christian education. God is the source of all knowledge, so we will search the Scriptures to see how His knowledge is obtained.

We have been told that it would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day contemplating the life of Christ. In particular, we should dwell on the closing scenes. When you stop to consider the tremendous sacrifice that Jesus made, it will melt your heart and lead you to make some fairly significant decisions in your life. That’s our focus for today.

We are bombarded with messages every day of our lives—“buy this,” and “do that.” God has a message for our time too. A life changing, hope generating, life saving message. Our bible study today will reveal it. Hosted by: Steven GroomGuests: Nathan Tasker, Gayl Fong Download the study notes at this link: https://www.3abnaustralia.org.au/resources/downloads/lgs-notes/
