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
Genesis1:1-2:3:
- How does verse 2
describe the earth prior to God’s creating activity? What does this tell you about the nature of
God?
- How does God create? What acts take place in all of God’s
creating prior to his creation of humanity?
How is the creation of humanity described differently?
- Man, meaning
humanity, is made in whose image, and after whose likeness?
- How is God’s
response different after the creation of humanity, as opposed to after the
creation of other things?
- How is “being
fruitful and multiplying” different from God’s act of creation? How is creation itself, and being created, a
gift of God’s grace?
Psalm
136:
- How
does this psalm begin? What story is it
telling? What specific things does it
mention?
- After
creation, the psalm begins telling the story of what? How are the story of creation, and the story
of the exodus related?
- What
is the common refrain in this psalm, spoken after almost every verse?
- How
would you describe the steadfast love of the Lord?
- If
you were writing a psalm using events from your life, to testify to the
steadfast love of the Lord, what would they be?
