Week 4- Thought Questions for Reading: Genesis 12-15

Question 1:  God gave Noah a clear purpose.  God is also calling you to small tasks and big purposes.  What might those tasks and purposes be?

Question 2: The story of the flood begins with corruption that resulted from the fall. It is easy to look around us and to see that the world is not as it should be.  What is more difficult is to look within ourselves and ask ourselves honestly, have we turned away from the living God, and instead become Gods to ourselves?  Have we exchanged "Thy will be done." for "My will be done"?  That is the foundation of all human temptation and it is what led to the corruption of humanity in the story of the flood.  Is there anything you want to repent of in your heart to God or with a trusted friend?

Question 3: Will you consider coming through the door that Jesus offers and accepting his grace and salvation?

Week 7- Bible Readings and thought questions
