The Vineyard- September 18, 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. 
Read Exodus 4:1-31
Belief or Unbelief?
-          Moses was given tangible signs of God’s power.  How does the empty tomb serve as a tangible sign of God’s power for us?
-          How does the sign of the empty tomb show us that God controls the future?
-          What is the purpose of signs?  How do they point beyond themselves to God?
-          Passages to Consider: John 4:48; 20:30-31
Too Much “I,” Not Enough I AM
-          What is one thing you would change about yourself?  How could God accomplish things through you without changing a thing?
-          Name some ways that a lack of talent in speaking can actually be an asset in ministry.
-          Why should God, the great I AM, be our focus when ministering to others?
-          Passages to Consider: I Corinthians 2:1-5; II Corinthians 10:10
Worship on This Side of the Sea
-          What was the ultimate purpose of God delivering Israel from slavery?  What is the purpose of our salvation?  What are the secondary effects?
-          How is our worship similar to Israel’s worship prior to being led out of Egypt to their freedom?
-          How is worship and expression of faith?
When you read of God’s wondrous acts in the Bible, ask what the act reveals about the God who is capable of performing it.
As you seek to serve others, focus on the great I AM, rather than yourself. 
As you worship God this side of heaven, consider God’s promise of eternal life as it is demonstrated through the sign of the empty tomb.
