The Vineyard- August 2, 2015

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

II Corinthians 5:1-10
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          Life in a Tent
o   How does this life remind you of living in a tent?
o   Why do we tend to think of God more when conditions in our life are less than ideal?
-          Something More
o   Paul says that this tent will be overlaid with a building from God, a house not made with mortal hands.  When you envision a perfected body, what do you think of?
o   What does it look like for us to groan in anticipation of the glorious future that awaits us?
-          Christ Our Prize
o   Our aim, wherever we find ourselves, should be to please our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
o   Why should we make pleasing Christ our chief goal in life?
o   When you think about standing before Christ, and answering for what you have done in this life, what emotions do you feel?  Why do you think you feel that way?
Praise God that a perfect body awaits us, in which we will spend eternity with him!

Pray for wisdom in living to please Christ each and every day.
