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

Corinthians 10:1-22
- Israel,
just like the church, had experienced salvation from the Lord. They even had their own form of baptism as
they traveled through the waters of the Red Sea, and their own religious meal
consisting of God-given manna and water.
And yet, they still rebelled by following idols. What lesson should this teach us?
- When
Paul says there is one cup, he means one means of redemption, namely the blood
of Christ. Are you ever guilty of
seeking forgiveness or redemption elsewhere?
- When
he says there is one loaf, and later refers to the table of the Lord, Paul is
speaking of the community of those who follow Christ. Do you ever follow anyone or anything else
and make it the Lord of your life? Do
you associate with groups that do this?
Psalm
116:
- Why
does the psalmist love the Lord? What
motivates the love and devotion of the psalmist towards God?
- When
the psalmist was in trouble, where did they turn? What was the outcome?
- Even
when in distress, the psalmist still had faith in God (see v. 10). Do you have faith, even in the difficult
times?
- What
should be our response to God’s deliverance? (see v. 16-19)
