The Vineyard- May 26th, 2013


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

Psalm 95:1-5
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of his word. 
Read the passage.
-          God as our refuge
o   Why do you think the psalmist refers to God as the “rock of our salvation”?  What does the imagery of a rock tell us about salvation?  What does it tell us about God?
-          God as the ultimate authority
o   What does it mean that the most powerful people on earth- presidents, kings, emperors- that they are still subject to God?
o   What comfort is it to know that God has authority over everything, and that eventually his perfect will shall be accomplished?
-          God as creator
o   God is described as having the depths of the earth in his hand, and as having formed the dry land with his hands.  What does that tell you about God’s power?
o   Do you let the vastness and beauty of creation remind you of how awesome God is?
Pray that we as individuals, that our church, and our community will seek God as our refuge, rather than the things of this world. 
Pray that we will recognize God as the ultimate authority in the universe. 
Pray that creation will remind us of God’s awesome power.
