This week's Bible study is adapted from the Bible Studies for Life curriculum.
Bible Passage: John 16:5-15
Discussion Questions:
How does a lack of faith in Christ lead to other sins?
How can a sinful person become righteous or right with God?
Food for Thought:
A pastor told the story of a friend who had amassed some wealth over the years. This prominent businessman spoke at a luncheon at his church and announced his decision to donate a significant sum of money for an upcoming building project.
That decision caused a rift between him and his children since the money would come from what the children believed should be theirs upon his passing.
The man, however, who once found pleasure in the bottle, had experienced a transformation in Christ and given up drinking. His new faith in Jesus had turned his heart from the sin associated with alcohol and toward the peace of a new life in Christ. He now chose to share his wealth with the church so that as the church facilities grew, the church could offer more opportunities to others who might come to know Christ as he had.
