| HOG MOB WEEKLY STUDY WEEK 1: Thank all of you for singing up to receive weekly studies from our ministry. Over the course of time we will be going through many studies on various different topics as well as checking out articles and even videos that we believe are relevant, thought provoking and also edifying for todays believer. Some will be material that we have put together as a ministry, others will be things that other ministers and ministries have created, and some will be a combination of the 2. We are still working on a full year’s curriculum and we hope when it is finished you will all join us in taking it as a educational coarse. Until then we would like to start as a ministry by helping to lay a solid biblical foundation that we encourage you to build upon in your own time. For this first week we will begin diving into a study book that HOG MOB has been using for years with much success. The “PURPLE BOOK”. The “PURPLE BOOK” is used all over the world in small group and discipleship studies. Each week we will study a lesson from this book in the hopes that you will gain from it as well as use the knowledge God brings to teach others more and more about the Gospel. We will be sending out weekly studies every Monday and we hope you participate in them as much as possible. We have much more to come so stay with us and thank you again for your time and support. GODBLESHYA. BIBLE READING: We are going to be reading through the entire bible over the course of this year. We encourage you all to join us. In order to complete the bible in a full year you will need to read at LEAST 3 chapters a day. We suggest that as you do this you make notes about the things that minister to you or also any questions you may have. This will help you be able to reflect and do research to help further your biblical education.HOG MOB MINISTRIES |
| SIN and SALVATION: CHAPTER 1″In the beginning YHWH created the heavens and the earth…… Through HIM all things were made; without HIM nothing was made that has been made…….. All things have been created through HIM and for HIM.” – Genesis 1:1; John !:3; Colossians 1:16 (TNIV)the Earth, humanity – all we see around us – had a beginning.YHWH declared each phase of creation “good” until He created the first man, Adam, and said it was “not good” for him to be alone.So Eve, the first woman, was created, and the original couple was given everything to enjoy. They were only forbidden to eat the fruit on ONe tree. “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”The fatal decision that followed and its tragic results have affected all of human history. humanity would pass down this fatal flaw, this inner corruption, from generation to generation. the power of evil and darkness would have prevailed except for YHWH’s intervention. His plan of salvation and deliverance from evils power began to unfold in the very Garden of Eden. This “Gospel” of salvation is the primary story of the entire Bible.LESSON 1: 1. what was creation like in the beginning? Genesis 1 v. 10 v. 12 v. 18 v. 21 v. 25 2. how many commands did YHWH give Adam and Eve? Genesis 2:173. what was YHWHs command to the first human beings? Genesis 2:16-17Read Genesis 3:1-13 and find out what happened next. 4. how did Adam and Eve respond to YHWHs command? Genesis 3:6-75. in light of this, do you think you would have responded differently? (before you answer, consider your life now. have you obeyed all Gods commands in your life?)note: Think about what YHWH attempted to shield Adam and Eve from: the knowledge of good and evil. As a loving parent, YHWH attempted to shield us from hazardous information and material. Our rebellion caused our destruction.6. Who tempted Eve? Genesis 3:1Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit- in essence saying to God, “we don’t need your rules.” they disobeyed God. They sinned.7. How did Adam and Eve react when their eyes were opened and they realized they were naked? v. 7v. 8 v. 108. Why do you think they reacted this way?9. How did God respond to Adam and Eve’s sin? Genesis 3:8-9notice the two very different responses to mans sin: a. humanity covered up in fear and shame and hid from God.b. God in grace, love and sovereignty sought out man.Things have not changed at all since the beginning. after thousands of years and billions of people, humanity still hides from God. and God still seeks his people. this is the starting point to understanding the gospel of salvation.Application and reflectionwhat did you learn from this lesson?how will you apply this knowledge to your life? |
