2019 BIBLE STUDY OVERVIEW
God made the world, including us, to be perfect; with a purpose. Sin entered the world, leading to a place of brokenness for all of us. God brought redemption through Jesus. We must admit our sinfulness, repent and believe. When we do, God restores our relationship with Him and helps us navigate in a broken world.
DAY 1 DESIGN
In the beginning, God created a perfect world by His design. We see evidence of God’s design all around us. He created man and woman in His image. Everyone and everything lived in harmony, and the Lord walked with them daily. God created us with a plan and purpose. Life Questions: How were we created? What was God’s design? What is our purpose? Scripture: Genesis 1:27, 2:15-18, 21-25; John 1:1-5; Psalm 139:14-17; Ephesians 2:10 Key Verse: John 1:3-4
DAY 2 BROKEN
The first man and woman chose to distort God’s perfect design and selfishly insisted on doing things their way, which led to a place of sin and brokenness, causing separation from God, leading to death. Every man and woman to follow has made that same choice. But, God did not leave us in our brokenness but sent His Son, Jesus in human form to rescue us through His death for our sin. This Good News is that we now have eternal life through Christ and death is not our end. Life Questions: What is sin? How did we depart from God’s design through sin? How do we attempt to fix our brokenness? How does the gospel of Jesus answer the questions that brokenness brings? Scripture: Genesis 3:1-7; Proverbs 14:12; Romans 1:25, 3:23, 5:12, 6:23; John 3:16 Key Verse: Romans 6:23
7
DAY 3 TURN
Simply hearing the Good News is not enough. We must admit that we are broken and that we cannot fix it on our own; we need to be rescued. We must ask God to forgive us, turning from sin to trust only in Jesus. Believing, we receive new life through Jesus, and God turns our lives in a new direction. Life Questions: What sacrifice was made for our sins? What is repentance? What takes place when we repent? Scripture: Genesis 3:8-24; John 3:18; Acts 3:19; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Colossians 2:14 Key Verse: Acts 3:19
DAY 4 RESTORE
When God restores our relationship to Him, we are made new and will discover our meaning and purpose. God’s Spirit empowers us to pursue His design and assures us of His presence. He has promised us a new heaven and new earth which will complete the restoration of a broken world. Life Questions: Have you allowed God to restore you with the Good News of Jesus? How are you pursuing God’s Design in your life? Scripture: Philippians 2:13; Matthew 6:33; John 16:7-15; Revelation 21:1-7 Key Verse: Revelation 21:3
