Each week parents are to [Read] chapters from Romans before beginning the time with
the kids. This will help you to know where the week is heading for discussions. It will
also help you to go through the seven [Q.]uestions of the week and make a note or two
about them if needed. You may want to underline words or parts of verses in your
Bible to help you reference [A.]nswers.
Colors help us to remember things. The first week the word is ‘Belief’. Ask your child
what color they think of when they hear the word ‘Belief’. If this is too hard for
them, choose a color together. You might also want to ask, ‚What made you think of
that color for ‘Belief’?‛ or explain why you think the color you chose together is a good
one. Then take a colored pencil, crayon or marker and fill in [The Leaf for the Week]
on the My Conversion Tree at this end. Click [here] to go there and print a copy now.
A Short Story from the book of Acts is for you to read like a poem to your child or to
read together. The first week’s poem is about Lydia’s conversion. You and your child
may want to draw a picture of what is happening in the story.
[MV] Memorizing Bible Verses is an act of ‘hiding God’s Word in your heart so you
might not sin against Him’ (Psalm 119:11). Each week has a memory verse or two. You
can print them and then cut them out from this sheet found [here].On each MVR page
some words will disappear (at a click) to help you memorize the verse, so be ready!

Each day you will ask the questions, read verses together, and ask more questions. For
example, this week say, “Question: What is the Gospel? Let’s read the letter to the
Roman Christians—in chapter 1 verses 2 and 3 and also verse 16.” [Read] Then
say, ‚Question: What is the Gospel? Answer: It is the power of God for salvation; it is
the Gospel of God and concerns His Son, Jesus Christ; this is the truth Paul preached
to everyone. Question: What is the Gospel? The answer is, It is the power of God for
salvation.‛ The underlined portion is what is the simplest answer and is what is
included in the week’s review.
Leave the rest of the questions for each day in the week to come. Each ‚tomorrow‛ you
will go over what you have already done with your child (the Color of Belief, the
Poem, Memory Verse, Question 1, Answer 1, and then go on to Question/Answer 2 just
like the day before with asking, reading, answering. Each day will go through this
pattern adding Questions and Answers.
On the seventh day, you will go through the same pattern as above, but include all
Questions and Answers listed at the end, and then include a song, and a closing prayer
from the history of the church—or you may just want to include your own or write one
together.

SHORT STORY

On Saturday, Paul went with his friends
To the side of river, some time to spend
For there was a place of prayer,
And some women had gathered there.
As Paul spoke about Jesus, the Lord opened the heart
Of a woman named, Lydia, who was given a new start
She was baptized and her whole household
But this only happened because of what happened
to Paul on the Damascus Road.
[Acts 16:11-15]

SHORT STORY

Now the church was being persecuted both far and wide
But believers went to Antioch and preached Jesus side by side
Many believed, and many turned to seek God’s grace
And when Barnabas came he could see it on each follower’s face
He encouraged them the best he could
To remain faithful to the Lord as they should
And then he left to Tarsus until he had found
His friend named, Saul, and then he turned back around
And took him to Antioch where they both stayed for a year
Teaching the people about Jesus without fear
And the believers were called Christians first here I am told
But this only happened because of what happened
to Paul on the Damascus Road.

Whatever you make me desire for my enemies, give it to them. And give the same back to
me. If I ever ask for them anything which is outside your perfect rule of love, whether
through weakness, ignorance or malice, good Lord, do not give it to them And do not
give it back to me. You who are the true light, lighten their darkness. You who are the
whole truth, correct their errors. You who are the incarnate word, give life to their souls.
Tender Lord Jesus, let me not be a stumbling block to them nor a rock of offense. My sin
is sufficient to me, without harming others. I, a slave to sin, beg your mercy on my
fellow slaves. Let them be reconciled with you, and through you reconciled to me."

Songs to God while other prisoners were listening
A great earthquake shook opened their cell doors _The jailer awakened and drew his sword
But Paul shouted, ‚Don’t harm yourself; we are all here.‛
And the jailer rushed to Paul trembling with fear
He knelt and said, ‚What must I do to be saved?‛
Paul and Silas said, ‚Believe in Jesus, and you and your whole house will be saved.‛
And they shared the gospel to all who were there.

SHORT STORY #1
At Lystra was a man who could not use his feet_ He was crippled from birth and never walked or leaped
But he could listen, and listen he did very well_ to Paul preaching, who looked at him and could tell
that the lame man had faith to walk again. So Paul shouted, ‚Stand up!‛ And he did but then
The crowds saw it all happen, but what did they say? _‚The gods have come down to visit us today!‛
Barnabas and Paul tried to stop them and did say,
‚We bring you good news, turn from idols to the One
Who made the heaven and the earth, the sea and the sun
But some jealous men persuaded the crowd
To stone Paul and shouted really loud
Until they dragged him out of the city and left him for dead
But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and instead
Went back into the city, and on the very next day
he went on with Barnabas preaching the gospel unafraid.
They revisited churches to lighten the disciples’ load
But this only happened because of what happened
to Paul on the Damascus Road.

SHORT STORY #2

Paul had been through many dangers and gone through many things
Imprisoned and beaten and left adrift on the seas
Many people caused him trouble, many people wanted him dead
He went for many days without sleep or one piece of bread
And one time some men waited by the city gate in bands
So Paul was lowered in a basket to escape their hands
He suffered from the cold and from many things that made him weak
But of those weak things Paul said he would dare speak
For in his weakness Christ’s power was made perfect, sound wrong?
It isn’t, ‚For when I am weak,‛ Paul said, ‛then in Christ I can be strong.‛
Paul was content in his weaknesses and he could be bold
But that only happened because of what happened
to Paul on the Damascus Road.

SHORT STORY

Paul travelled to Ephesus and when he arrived there
He found some disciples who needed his care
They said they were believers, but what kind it would appear?
The kind that lacked Spirit, and that was something to fear
‚Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?‛ Paul said.
‚No, we have not even heard of a Holy Spirit,‛ they said.
So Paul baptized them in the name of the Lord,
Laid his hands on them, and the Spirit gave them some words
To speak about their faith and what the future would hold
But this only happened because of what happened
to Paul on the Damascus Road.

SHORT STORY

What happened on the Damascus road?
Some would say it is one of the greatest stories ever told!
How a bright light intercepted a terrorist’s plan
To track down every Christian whether woman or man
And threaten them with death because they followed our Lord
Then bring them back to Jerusalem to get a reward.
But with that light came a voice who knew Saul inside out,
And Saul said, ‚Sir, please tell me what is this all about?‛
The voice said, ‚I am Jesus! Why are you persecuting me?
Your friends must take you to Damascus because you cannot see.‛
And although Saul was blinded he obeyed
He entered Damascus and ate nothing for days.
He stayed in a house on Straight Street and no other plans were made;
Saul continued fasting and

<The Lord heard his prayers
and sent Ananias who was very surprised.
Ananias said, ‚Brother Saul, Jesus sent me,‛
and something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes
Saul got up, ate, was baptized, preached how Jesus rose from the dead
‚He is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy!‛ everyone said.
Saul never stopped preaching about Jesus in every place
The blindness didn’t block out one thing: the sight of Jesus’ face!
And with the change in his heart came the change in his name
Saul was called Paul and would never be the same;
Nor would the world from his preaching--in the Bible we are told,
How this all happened because of what happened

7 Gospel Questions

  • 1. I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel 7 Weeks + 7 Stories = 49 Questions About “What Happened On The Damascus Road.”
  • 2. I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel MAIN PAGE Week 4 To the right are LEAF LINKS to the week you are working on together. M A I N There is a link on every page for you to come back here; just click on the MAIN ARROW on the top/right of the page to return here. Week 3 Week 5 Week 2 Week 1 Introduction Start Here Week 6 Week 7
  • 3. I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel Introduction Start Here Each week parents are to [Read] chapters from Romans before beginning the time with the kids. This will help you to know where the week is heading for discussions. It will also help you to go through the seven [Q.]uestions of the week and make a note or two about them if needed. You may want to underline words or parts of verses in your Bible to help you reference [A.]nswers. Colors help us to remember things. The first week the word is ‘Belief’. Ask your child what color they think of when they hear the word ‘Belief’. If this is too hard for them, choose a color together. You might also want to ask, ‚What made you think of that color for ‘Belief’?‛ or explain why you think the color you chose together is a good one. Then take a colored pencil, crayon or marker and fill in [The Leaf for the Week] on the My Conversion Tree at this end. Click [here] to go there and print a copy now. A Short Story from the book of Acts is for you to read like a poem to your child or to read together. The first week’s poem is about Lydia’s conversion. You and your child may want to draw a picture of what is happening in the story. [MV] Memorizing Bible Verses is an act of ‘hiding God’s Word in your heart so you might not sin against Him’ (Psalm 119:11). Each week has a memory verse or two. You can print them and then cut them out from this sheet found [here].On each MVR page some words will disappear (at a click) to help you memorize the verse, so be ready! M A I N
  • 4. I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel Introduction Start Here Each day you will ask the questions, read verses together, and ask more questions. For example, this week say, “Question: What is the Gospel? Let’s read the letter to the Roman Christians—in chapter 1 verses 2 and 3 and also verse 16.” [Read] Then say, ‚Question: What is the Gospel? Answer: It is the power of God for salvation; it is the Gospel of God and concerns His Son, Jesus Christ; this is the truth Paul preached to everyone. Question: What is the Gospel? The answer is, It is the power of God for salvation.‛ The underlined portion is what is the simplest answer and is what is included in the week’s review. Leave the rest of the questions for each day in the week to come. Each ‚tomorrow‛ you will go over what you have already done with your child (the Color of Belief, the Poem, Memory Verse, Question 1, Answer 1, and then go on to Question/Answer 2 just like the day before with asking, reading, answering. Each day will go through this pattern adding Questions and Answers. On the seventh day, you will go through the same pattern as above, but include all Questions and Answers listed at the end, and then include a song, and a closing prayer from the history of the church—or you may just want to include your own or write one together.

Closing Prayer [or write your own] Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly that our lives may only be a radiance of yours. Shine through us and be so in us that every soul we come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus. Stay with us and then we shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be light to others. The light, O Jesus, will be all from you. None of it will be ours. It will be you shining on others through us. Let us thus praise you in the way you love best by shining on those around us. Let us preach you without preaching, not by words, but by our example; by the catching force - the sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to you.

  3. Each week parents are to [Read] chapters from Romans before beginning the time with the kids. This will help you to know where the week is heading for discussions. It will also help you to go through the seven [Q.]uestions of the week and make a note or two about them if needed. You may want to underline words or parts of verses in your Bible to help you reference [A.]nswers.Colors help us to remember things. The first week the word is ‘Belief’. Ask your child what color they think of when they hear the word ‘Belief’. If this is too hard for them, choose a color together. You might also want to ask, “What made you think of that color for ‘Belief’?” or explain why you think the color you chose together is a good one. Then take a colored pencil, crayon or marker and fill in [The Leaf for the Week] on the My Conversion Tree at this end. Click [here] to go there and print a copy now.A Short Story from the book of Acts is for you to read like a poem to your child or to read together. The first week’s poem is about Lydia’s conversion. You and your child may want to draw a picture of what is happening in the story.[MV] Memorizing Bible Verses is an act of ‘hiding God’s Word in your heart so you might not sin against Him’ (Psalm 119:11). Each week has a memory verse or two. You can print them and then cut them out from this sheet found [here].
  4. Each day you will ask the questions, read verses together, and ask more questions. For example, this week say, “Question: What is the Gospel? Let’s read the letter to the Roman Christians—in chapter 1 verses 2 and 3 and also verse 16.” [Read] Then say, “Question: What is the Gospel? Answer: It is the power of God for salvation; it is the Gospel of God and concerns His Son, Jesus Christ; this is the truth Paul preached to everyone. Question: What is the Gospel? The answer is, It is the power of God for salvation.” The underlined portion is what is the simplest answer and is what is included in the week’s review.  Leave the rest of the questions for each day in the week to come. Tomorrow, go over what you have already done with your child (the Color of Belief, the Poem, Memory Verse, Question 1, Answer 1, and then go on to Question/Answer 2 just like the day before with asking, reading, answering. Each day will go through this pattern adding Questions and Answers. On the seventh day, you will go through the same pattern as above, but include all Questions and Answers listed at the end, the song, and a closing prayer.

[Acts 11:19-26]  Memory Verse Review:1:16 “For I am not _____________ of the ____________, for it is the ____________of God for _______________ to everyone who ____________________…” This Week’s Memory Verse: 10:9-10, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

What happens to those who do not believe God’s truth?A. [1:18-22] They become fools: (1) futile in their thinking, (2) darkened in their foolish hearts, (3) exchanging the glory of God their Creator for images of His creation and (4) continually doing what ought not to be done.  A song/hymn this study made you think of was: __________________________________ Closing Prayer&quot;Almighty and tender Lord Jesus Christ, just as I have asked you to love my friends so I ask the same for my enemies.

How should we then live?A. [6:4, 11, 12, 22; 8:1, 5; 14:23] Toward sin: keep considering ourselves dead to it--stop letting it reign in our bodies.

  54. Week 5: Assurance &amp; The Gift of the Holy Spirit [What color is Assurance? And what color is The Gift of the Holy Spirit?] Paul travelled to Ephesus and when he arrived thereHe found some disciples who needed his careThey said they were believers, but what kind it would appear--The kind that lacked Spirit, and that was something to fear“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” Paul said.“No, we have not even heard of a Holy Spirit,” they said. So Paul baptized them in the name of the Lord,Laid his hands on them, and the Spirit gave them some wordsTo speak about their faith and what the future would holdBut this only happened because of what happened to Paul on the Damascus Road. [Acts 19:1-7]  Memory Verse Review:3:23, “For _______ have _______ and have fallen _______ of the _______ of God.” 5:8, “God ___________ His ___________ for us in this ___________: He sent ___________ to ___________ for us ___________ we were still ___________.” This Week’s Memory Verse:8:16, “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…” Read chapters of Romans 5 and 8 Q29. What is the result of trusting Jesus Christ completely?A. [*5:1, 9-11] We (1) are justified—saved by the blood of Christ from the wrath of God and (2) are reconciled to God to a new life through Christ’s resurrection; (3) have peace with God! Q30. Who is the Spirit?A. [8:9, 11, 15, 16, 26; 9:1; 5:5] He is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of adoption and is the Spirit of the one who raised Christ from the dead; He is the Helper in our weakness, and our Intercessor; He is the One through whom God pours out His love into our hearts, and the Assurer of our faith. Q31. Can I know for sure I belong to Christ?A. [8:9-11, 15-16] Yes! Since I am reconciled to God, the Spirit of God dwells in me and bears witness with my spirit convincing me and assuring me that I am a child of God. Q32. What if I do not have the Spirit of Christ?A. [8:9, 15; 6:2; 4:4; 1:17] I do not belong to Him, I am still dead in my sins, and since I have no witness, I have no assurance, and I live in fear. IF I seek salvation, I will seek to accomplish it by my own works and not by faith. Q33. What if I do not live according to the Spirit but the flesh?A. [8:6-13] I will die. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. The mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God&apos;s law, it just can’t. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. If I live according to the flesh I will die. Q34. But what if I do live according to the Spirit?A. [8:14-17] When the Spirit leads me, I am: (1) enabled to put to death the misdeeds of the body and live, (2) freed from a spirit of slavery and fear, (3) confirmed as a one of God’s sons, (4) able to cry out to God as my Abba! Father! So now even as I suffer with Christ, (5) the Spirit himself bears witness with my spirit that I am children of God--an heir of God and fellow heir with Christ, (6) I may also be glorified with him provided I suffer with Him. Q35 And what of my sufferings now?A. [8:18-25] They are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us—a glory we hope for and wait for with patience.  Q36. How does the Spirit of God help us?A. [8:26-30] The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God; He gives us assurance.  A song/hymn this study made you think of was: __________________________________ Closing Prayer&quot;Lord, make me see your glory in every place: If mortal beauty sets my heart aglow, Shall not that earthly fire by thine burn low Extinguished by the great light of thy grace?

Yes!the Spirit of God dwells in me.Q32. What if I do not have the Spirit of Christ? A. I do not belong to HimQ33. What if I do not live according to the Spirit but the flesh? A. I will dieQ34.

  56. Week 5: Assurance &amp; The Gift of the Holy Spirit [What color is Assurance? And what color is The Gift of the Holy Spirit?] This Week’s Memory Verse:8:16, “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…” Read chapters of Romans 5 and 8 Q29. What is the result of trusting Jesus Christ completely?A. [*5:1, 9-11] We (1) are justified—saved by the blood of Christ from the wrath of God and (2) are reconciled to God to a new life through Christ’s resurrection; (3) have peace with God! Q30. Who is the Spirit?A. [8:9, 11, 15, 16, 26; 9:1; 5:5] He is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of adoption and is the Spirit of the one who raised Christ from the dead; He is the Helper in our weakness, and our Intercessor; He is the One through whom God pours out His love into our hearts, and the Assurer of our faith. Q31. Can I know for sure I belong to Christ?A. [8:9-11, 15-16] Yes! Since I am reconciled to God, the Spirit of God dwells in me and bears witness with my spirit convincing me and assuring me that I am a child of God. Q32. What if I do not have the Spirit of Christ?A. [8:9, 15; 6:2; 4:4; 1:17] I do not belong to Him, I am still dead in my sins, and since I have no witness, I have no assurance, and I live in fear. IF I seek salvation, I will seek to accomplish it by my own works and not by faith. Q33. What if I do not live according to the Spirit but the flesh?A. [8:6-13] I will die. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. The mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God&apos;s law, it just can’t. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. If I live according to the flesh I will die. Q34. But what if I do live according to the Spirit?A. [8:14-17] When the Spirit leads me, I am: (1) enabled to put to death the misdeeds of the body and live, (2) freed from a spirit of slavery and fear, (3) confirmed as a one of God’s sons, (4) able to cry out to God as my Abba! Father! So now even as I suffer with Christ, (5) the Spirit himself bears witness with my spirit that I am children of God--an heir of God and fellow heir with Christ, (6) I may also be glorified with him provided I suffer with Him. Q35 And what of my sufferings now?A. [8:18-25] They are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us—a glory we hope for and wait for with patience.  Q36. How does the Spirit of God help us?A. [8:26-30] The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God; He gives us assurance.  A song/hymn this study made you think of was: __________________________________ Closing Prayer&quot;Lord, make me see your glory in every place: If mortal beauty sets my heart aglow, Shall not that earthly fire by thine burn low Extinguished by the great light of thy grace?

You can know for sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Q39. How am I saved from the wrath of God?A. [5:9-10] Not because of anything I have done or can do, but because of what Jesus Christ has done. Christ died for the ungodly and it is by his blood that we have now been justified and shall be saved by him from the wrath of God. Q40. Is there more I have received than being saved from God’s wrath?A. [5:1f] Yes! You (1) have been reconciled to God (2) have peace with God, (3) have joy in hope of the glory of God and in God himself (4) have God’s everlasting love poured into your heart by the Spirit and (5) God Himself is within you. Q41. What other benefits do I have in this life of faith through Jesus Christ?A. [5:17; 12:2] For those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness, they reign in life through Jesus Christ. By testing and discovering what is good and acceptable and perfect, you will discern what God’s will is. Q42. What is my new destiny and how do I pursue it?A. [8:29, 12:1-2] My destiny is to be conformed to the image of God’s Son—to become like Jesus. By God’s mercies and as an act of worship, I am to present your body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God; and I am to stop being conformed to this world, but be transformed by the continual renewing of my mind.

  78. Week 7: Community Connected &amp; Conclusion [What color is the Church Community?] What happened on the Damascus road?Some would say it is one of the greatest stories ever told!How a bright light intercepted a terrorist’s planTo track down every Christian whether woman or manAnd threaten them with death because they followed our LordThen bring them back to Jerusalem for some kind of rewardBut with that light came a voice who knew Saul inside out,And Saul said, “Sir, please tell me what is this all about?”The voice said, “I am Jesus! Why are you persecuting me?Your friends must take you to Damascus because you cannot see.”And although Saul was blinded he obeyed He entered Damascus and ate nothing for days.He stayed in a house on Straight Street and no other plans were made;Saul continued fasting and he prayed and prayed and prayed.The Lord heard his prayers and sent Ananias who was terribly surprisedAnanias said, “Brother Saul, Jesus sent me,” and something like scales fell from his eyesSaul got up, ate, was baptized, preached how Jesus rose from the dead“He is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy!” everyone said.Saul never stopped preaching about Jesus in every placeThe blindness didn’t block out one thing: the sight of Jesus’ faceAnd with the change in his heart came the change in his nameSaul was called Paul and would never be the sameNor would the world from his preaching--in the Bible we are told,How this all happened because of what happened to Paul on the Damascus Road. [Acts 9:1-31; Galatians 1:23]  Memory Verse Review:8:16, “The __________ himself bears __________ with our __________ that we are __________ of God…” 12:1-2, “I appeal to you therefore, ____________, by the ____________of God, to ____________your ____________as a living ____________, holy and ____________to God, which is your spiritual ____________. Do not be ____________to this world, but be ____________by the renewal of your ____________, that by testing you may ___________ what is the ____________of God, what is good and ____________ and perfect.” This Week’s Memory Verse: 13:10, “Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” Read chapters 15 and 16 of Romans Q43. Was it God’s intention for us to live the life of faith alone?A. [15:5-16:17] No! But on the contrary, we live as neighbors with other believers, welcoming one another, seeking to please one another. As we seek to live in harmony and in accord with Christ Jesus, we will glorify God with one voice together. We gain encouragement from one another and endurance too as we instruct each other, continue in what we were taught, and watch over each other’s hearts and faith. Q44. How has God designed us to function as a community of faith? A. [12:4f] As one body in Christ, individually members one of another, but with different function. We are all actively involved in using God’s gifts to us with one another: prophecy, service, teaching, exhortation, contribution, leading, acts of mercy—all as God’s grace works with us. Q45. How are we to love one another in the community of faith?A. [12:9-21] Let love be genuine and with brotherly affection. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another and peaceably with all.  Q46. Why is love so important among the community of faith?A. [13:8-10] The one who loves another has fulfilled the law--for the commandments are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Q47. What if someone’s faith isn’t as strong as mine?A. [14:1-19] Walk in love. As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. Be fully convinced in your own mind about things. Never put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother, but always pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Q48. What must I keep in mind about the choices I make?A. [14:7-9, 22-23] Remember: Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord&apos;s. Each of us will give an account of himself to God. The faith that you have (about small matters) keep between yourself and God. Whatever actions or attitudes not proceeding from faith in Jesus Christ (and love for others) is sin. Q49. What was Paul’s final hope in the Gospel?A. [16:25-27] Obedience to the faith—for us to havea strengthened faith like Jesus Christ’s—which will bring glory to God! Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ!

Shine through us and be so in us that every soul we come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus. Stay with us and then we shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be light to others. The light, O Jesus, will be all from you. None of it will be ours. It will be you shining on others through us. Let us thus praise you in the way you love best by shining on those around us. Let us preach you without preaching, not by words, but by our example; by the catching force - the sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to you.

  81. Week 7: Community Connected &amp; Conclusion [What color is the Church Community?]This Week’s Memory Verse: 13:10, “Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”Q43. Was it God’s intention for us to live the life of faith alone?A. [15:5-16:17] No! But on the contrary, we live as neighbors with other believers, welcoming one another, seeking to please one another. As we seek to live in harmony and in accord with Christ Jesus, we will glorify God with one voice together. We gain encouragement from one another and endurance too as we instruct each other, continue in what we were taught, and watch over each other’s hearts and faith. Q44. How has God designed us to function as a community of faith? A. [12:4f] As one body in Christ, individually members one of another, but with different function. We are all actively involved in using God’s gifts to us with one another: prophecy, service, teaching, exhortation, contribution, leading, acts of mercy—all as God’s grace works with us. Q45. How are we to love one another in the community of faith?A. [12:9-21] Let love be genuine and with brotherly affection. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another and peaceably with all.  Q46. Why is love so important among the community of faith?A. [13:8-10] The one who loves another has fulfilled the law--for the commandments are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Q47. What if someone’s faith isn’t as strong as mine?A. [14:1-19] Walk in love. As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. Be fully convinced in your own mind about things. Never put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother, but always pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Q48. What must I keep in mind about the choices I make?A. [14:7-9, 22-23] Remember: Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord&apos;s. Each of us will give an account of himself to God. The faith that you have (about small matters) keep between yourself and God. Whatever actions or attitudes not proceeding from faith in Jesus Christ (and love for others) is sin. Q49. What was Paul’s final hope in the Gospel?A. [16:25-27] Obedience to the faith—for us to havea strengthened faith like Jesus Christ’s—which will bring glory to God! Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
