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?

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!
