The Vineyard- July 8, 2012


The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Luke 10:25-37
- The lawyer wants to do what’s right, but he doesn’t want to do more than he has to.  Are you ever tempted to think that way, to want to skate by with doing the minimum required?
 Of the three men who passed by the robbery victim, which one would you expect to stop and help the man?  Which one actually does?  What does that tell you about outward appearances, and how we should judge others?
- The lawyer starts out by asking “who is my neighbor?”  However, Jesus replies by asking “which of these was a neighbor to the man?”  What does that tell you about our job as Christians?  Who are we required to be neighbors to?

II Peter 3:
 According to this passage, why does God delay the return of Christ?  What does the reason for the delay tell you about God?
- What type of people does Peter imply that they should be?  How does Peter want them to be found in the end when Christ returns?
- Where will the righteous live when Christ returns?  What do you think is meant by a new heaven and a new earth?  What are some of the things you look forward to experiencing in the new heaven and new earth?
