The Old and the New Testament
Combined, do they tell one story?
The first 8 weeks will be focused on reading about and discussing the relationship between the Old and the New Testament. Combined they do tell one story.
Employees will be empowered to transcend traditional boundaries of faith, The Mosaic law, the old and the new covenant, faith vs. works, how were both demonstrated in Old and New Testament. Through this study they will experience transformative guidance that illuminates their spiritual journey with innovative practices tailored for the modern seeker.
The New Covenant
The Old Covenant
What is the difference?
The following eight weeks will be group discussions focused on the meaning of/reasons for the New Covenant. Does it mean we no longer need to adhere to the Law? God forbid. Wanting to, and having to are two different things, and will be discussed. We are not rewarded for our works no matter how good they look!
How does free will play into this discussion? What does it mean for our faith to mean so much and to be so strong that our works are no longer works? There is a difference between desire and feeling required to “check the boxes”.
Why does God, not only allow, but promote free will? Why not force us all to act the right way all of the time? Why do bad things happen?
Who/what is our enemy and do we believe he exists?
Application in today’s world
How does all of this apply to us?
One of the religious leaders of the time, a pharisee named Nicodemus, was one of the few that had his eyes opened so that he could see. Jesus said to him “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again”. Nicodemus’, “Israel’s teacher” response was “How can this be?” John 3:1-9
How can it be? What does it mean to be born again? Can you be catholic, or protestant and be born again at the same time?
Jesus voluntarily gave His life so that we could have one. We have to do the same thing.
Our final number of weeks will be discussing the importance of being spiritually dead to ourselves and born again. Then, and only then, can we apply what we’ve learned in “the world”.
