The Importance of the Gospel – Connecting God to the Gospel

Each year on Great Commission Sunday we consider the importance of the mission of the church. In this lesson, we look to Paul's letter to the Romans (1:1-7) to see not only how important the Gospel was to Paul but we also make the important connection that shows us how important the Gospel is to God and how that impacts us.

Mission as Discipleship: The Importance of the Gospel

Mission is at the heart of God’s will, and at the heart of Waterview too. We must make a shift from doing missions to being missional, involving the local church in evangelizing and making disciples in our communities. Paul’s understanding of the Gospel in Galatians 3:8 has to do with a God who loves to include all families in his blessing.

We Must Trust His Word

If it can be proven that God has spoken his will, there are important implications. Today we start a short series of lessons exploring those implications. In this lesson, we consider important reasons we must trust God's word since we know God has spoken. Our text is 2 Tim. 3:16-17, one of the bedrock passages of Scripture about Scripture.

Hearing the Voice of God

The prophet Elijah is one of the great heroes of the Old Testament. Yet, despite having heard the prophetic voice of God so often, despite having witnessed the mighty, powerful hand of God in his ministry, what Elijah needed to hear more than any other thing was the still, small voice of God. No matter who you are the same is true of you. Today, the most important thing you need to do is hear the voice of God. Will you listen?

The Christian’s Report Card

Remember report card day in school? It contained your grades but also a report about your conduct. Christian conduct is even more important. In Ephesians chapter four, our conduct becomes the central focus as Paul writes about unity in the body. Today, as we examined these ancient words, we should realize they call us to consider our conduct and how it contributes to the building up of the body.

Why to Pray this Way

Sometimes the prayer Jesus taught in Matthew 6 is called the model prayer. When Jesus said, "Pray like this," some understand this prayer to be "how" or "what" to pray. Such may be true, but this prayer also teaches us "why" we should pray. In this lesson, we consider Jesus' teaching about prayer from the perspective "Why to Pray this Way?" The reasons we consider may offer fresh perspectives to your prayer life.

7 Up Christianity

In Romans 14 and 15, Paul reminds us to be concerned about others, especially a weaker brother. While Romans 14 is dedicated to this principle, Rom. 15:1-7 somewhat reiterates that principle. In each verse of this text, we find a significant "up" principle. If you are a strong Christian, these principles teach us how to show concern for those who need it the most.
