Bible Study III : Waxing Strong for Exploits

BIBLE STUDY III

Topic: Waxing Strong for Exploits

Text: Ecclesiastes 11:9, 12:1-2, Philippians 3:14

INTRODUCTION

While we bless the Almighty God for hitherto He has helped us as His people, we are also trusting God for our young ones to remain happy, vibrant and be able to keep the flag of our brand flying. Over the years, the leadership of the church has rekindled the hope of a brighter and fulfilling life for all up and coming young ones through the platforms of youth friendly policies and value laden empowerment schemes. The onus now lies on all young people in Methodist Church Nigeria to be emboldened with spiritual strength and be poised to do great exploits for God. The truth is that the picture we may have conceived about our dear church will be determined by the actions and inactions of the young ones today.

QUESTIONS / DISCUSSION

1.    How can our young people heighten spirituality without compromising standard. Psalm 1:1-3, II Tim. 2:15, Psalm 119:9-11.

2.    What are the things that can help a young person to live right and keep doing glorious things for the Lord? Proverb 10:14, I Cor. 15:33-34, Eph. 5:15-21, Philip. 4:8-9, Col. 2:6-8.

3.    It is imperative for the youth to constantly stay connected with Christ teaching. Discuss this assertion in relation to the partnership of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8, John 16:12-15, Col. 3:15-17, 4:6.

4.    How can a youth be a pride to his/her parents or guidance? Col. 3:20, Prov. 10:1, Prov. 23:24-25, Prov. 22:29.

5.    Mention some of the exploits that our youths should be poised to do in the church today.

CONCLUSION

The strength of the body of Christ is indeed the present crop of young people who are mostly toddlers, teens, adolescents and young adults. They are adventurous, imaginative and creative. When they are given room to find expression within the ambit of Christ pattern and Church doctrine and they are well mentored they will keep waxing strong for exploits for the Lord Jesus.
