Check In – How is everyone doing (good things, teaching applied, lessons learned, prayers answered)?

Word

• What was a favourite activity of yours as a young child?
• Read 2 Kings 2:1,6,9-10.
• Who were the two main characters?  What do their names mean?  Old Testament names were often given by God or a circumstance under which a child was born.  Why is it important to name your child?  (reference Prov. 22:1)
• When we accept Jesus as our savior, who does the choosing?  What is the purpose of being chosen?
• What is an apprenticeship?  Why is important?  (reference Phil. 4:9)
• Life has its ups and downs.  Read Phil. 3:8-11.
• How do you handle a loss?
• Read Sampson’s riddle Judges 14:14. How does life come out from death?
• Read 1Peter5:10. Break down this scripture into its four points – calling, learning, loss, win.  What is your calling? What are you learning? Have you or are you overcoming any loss(es)?  What does it mean to you to win in life?
• What is your personal application from today’s lesson?
