| A rendition of Zachariah in the Temple in Luke 1:5-25 |
In our adult Bible study hour I will highlight various "Points of Agreement between Complementarians and Egalitarians." Though much divides those who embrace Biblical Manhood and Womanhood and those promote Evangelical Feminism today we also need to know what convictions we share. In any theological dispute it is helpful to acknowledge any common ground you may have with the opposing point of view.
Post Script- In the weekly sermon handout I try and provide a list of questions for further reflection and personal application (see example below).
For Further Reflection/Application:
Have all of your transgressions and sins been washed clean in the blood of the Lamb? (Meditate on the wonder of Isaiah 1:18; 53:1-23; and 55:1-3)
What did the preacher mean when he made a distinction between the eternal consequences of sin
and the temporal consequences of sin?
Some/many of the religious friends of Zacharias and Elizabeth assumed their barrenness was a
sign of Divine displeasure (see Luke 1:24-25; last sermon)- when it was not (see Jn 9; Job 1-2).
Having said that, sometimes our trials and difficulties are part of God’s loving correction (note
Hebrews 12:4-11). Do you evaluate your walk with God when the Lord allows trials to come
your way?
God demonstrates his love to us through the use of correction- ask another Christian to share a
personal example to support this biblical assertion.
To not fully believe God’s Word (all of it) is no small sin. What portions of Scripture are
struggling to receive in faith right now? What portions of God’s Word does the world want
Christians to abandon in the name of “progress” and/or “tolerance?”
How do "sermonettes for Christianettes proliferate neophyte Christians?" (note 2 Tim. 4:1-5; Heb.
5:12-14; Eph. 4:11-16).
The God of amazing grace has shown great favor to all of His redeemed sons and daughters.
Thank God for the specific and personal blessings that have been poured out on you and your
family this year.
