The video for this week is not available.
Do you really that the Bible is the inspired Word of God?
Can you think of a time when a person having authority over you made you feel uncomfortable? Was there ever a time in your life when you were asked to compromise your principles because of a person who had authority over you?
As you reflect upon Pastor's message, begin to reflect upon how you make decisions in your life and if you refer to God and his word as a source for your decisions. Stop yourself this week as you make decisions and ask yourself if you have taken time to talk with God and read the Bible before moving forward.
Can you count on God's word to speak into your life and situation? Examine Jesus' challenge to compromise his purpose as found in Matthew 4:1-11. How did Jesus confront an authority figure who promised to give him everything if he just followed him?
Where do you fit into the story? Examine your responses. Do we not have the same resource that Jesus had as he followed His father's will? Because Jesus was human, he had the same temptations as us. What advice do you think the story might give to us?
Our memorization text this week is from John 14:23, Jesus said, "If any one loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."
