WordStudy: Immanuel

"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us" (Matthew 1:23 NIV).

During this Christmas season, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let's focus once again on His Name, "Immanuel"--"God with us." I pray God will reveal Himself to you in a powerful new way as you worship Him this Christmas.

1. Research "Immanuel” in God’s Word.

2. Choose one of the scriptures you find and write it down; then, read it out loud.

3. In 1-2 sentences, write what you think the scripture means.

4. In 1-3 paragraphs, try to connect with the scripture. What did you think about as you read the passage? A life experiences (yours or someone else’s)? A life lesson? Another scripture or biblical truth? Something else?

5. Post your insights as a comment to this blog post.

WordStudy: "The Word"

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).

As we approach this Christmas season and celebrate the birth of Christ, take time to focus on "The Word." May God give you new insight as you search His Word for more truth and revelation about His Son, "The Word."

1. Research "The Word” in God’s Word.

2. Choose one of the scriptures you find and write it down; then, read it out loud.

WordStudy: Thanksgiving

"Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song" (Psalm 95:2 NIV).

In honor of our Thanksgiving this week, we will focus our WordStudy on the word "thanksgiving" (i.e. thankful or thanks).

What comes to your mind when you think about Thanksgiving? Have you ever checked out the word "thanksgiving" (thankful or thanks) in the scriptures.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes this week to ponder this subject as you meditate on God’s Word in preparation for your Thanksgiving celebration.

WordStudy: Repentance

"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death” (2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV).

This week’s WordStudy: Repentance! Yes, you heard me right! "Repentance" (i.e. repent/s)!

We all probably have a preconceived notion of what the word “repentance” means. So, what comes to your mind when you think about that word? And what does God’s Word say about the word “repentance” or “repent”?

This week, your assignment (if you choose to accept it) is to consider the word "chosen." God's Word tell us that as believers in Christ, we are a "chosen" people. What does his Word tell us about the word "chosen"?

WordStudy: Blessed

In Session Two of The Inheritance, Beth Moore reminds us of the “heart of the gospel”—we are “blessed to bless others.”

In Genesis 12: 2, God promises Abram, “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you…and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

God promised to “bless” Abram. And He also promised that He would bless those who blessed Abram, and He would bless others through Abram.”

What does it mean for God to “bless” us? And how can we “bless” someone else? Also, how can God bless others through us?

This week, we’re searching for scriptures with the word “blessed.”

1. Research the word “blessed” or some form of that word (i.e. bless, blessing, etc.) in God’s Word.

2. Choose one of the scriptures you find and write it down; then, read it out loud.

3. In 1-2 sentences, write what you think the scripture means.

4. In 1-3 paragraphs, try to connect with the scripture. What did you think about as you read the passage? A life experiences (yours or someone else’s)? A life lesson? Another scripture or biblical truth? Something else?

5. Post your insights @ a comment to this blog (*).

WordStudy: Inheritance

In our introductory session, Beth Moore stated that the word “inheritance" or some form of it (heritage, inherit, etc.) appears over 300 times in the Bible. So, here’s your homework assignment for the first week.

1. Do a word search in God’s Word on the topic of “inheritance” or some form of that word (i.e. heritage, inherit, etc.).

2. Pick one scripture that you find during your search and write in 1-2 sentences about what you think that scriptures means (in your own words).

3. Now, in 2-3 paragraphs, write how you connected to the passage you read—what came to your mind while you were reading it (a personal experience, an example of that truth, an issue for discussion, etc.).

4. Post your answers on our group's discussion board in The City (for those of you who are attending The Inheritance class at The Summit) as a reply to this assignment—“WordStudy: Inheritance.” If you're joining us online, post your reply as a comment to this post (see my sample comment below).

At the end of our 9-week session (for those of you who are attending The Inheritance class at The Summit), there will be a prize for the person who has posted the most WordStudy assigments on our discussion board. And our prize will be more that a pack of gum!
