The Vineyard- February 28, 2016

The Vineyard- February 28th, 2016
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

Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
I Believe
-          What does it mean to believe? 
-          How is belief more than just thinking something in your mind?
-          Passage to Consider: James 2:14-24
God is One
-          Why is it impossible for there to be more than one God?
-          How is God one, even when the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all God?
-          Passage to Consider: Deuteronomy 6:4-9
God is Almighty
-          God is the beginning and the end, the Almighty. 
-          To say God is Almighty does not mean he can do anything.  For instance, he cannot lie, or do something against his nature.  To say God is Almighty means he rules over everything.  There is nothing he does not control. 
-          Passage to Consider: Revelation 1:8
God is a Creator
-          God uses his power in an expressive way, by creating things that are vast, beautiful, and even complex. 
-          Passage to Consider: Psalm 8; 19; 104                                                                                                                                                                
God is Our Father
-          To say that God is our Father does not mean that he is a male, or human in some way.  It means he cares for us just as our earthly parents should. 
-          To say that God is our Father also reminds us that God is not our possession, but we are just one of his many children. 
-          Passage to Consider: Matthew 7:11
Pray to God for conviction in your beliefs, so that others might see your faith demonstrated by your actions. 
Praise God for his ability to create, and reign over, the universe!
Thank God for being our Father, a God who provides, protects, and redeems!
