Proverbs 4 Study at the Moore's Friday Sept 28th

This Friday we will look at Proverbs 4. Please read through the text several times before the study. Below are the questions to ponder as you read through the text. As usual, we will try to keep the lesson practical and applicable to our lives. If you have questions, please let me know before hand or during the study. Thanks and I'll see you all soon, LORD willing.

Intro questions: What similarities are there in the language of 4:1; 4:10; and 4:20? What might this indicate about the structure of the Chapter?

Who is talking in these verses? Who is the audience?

Vs. 1-2 -  What is the picture presented here? What image comes to mind when you read these verses?
Vs. 3 - What is the picture presented here? When seen in connection with vs 1, what pattern is represented?
Vs. 4 - What comes to mind when you hear, "hold fast?" What are some actions associated with "hold fast?" How might you hold fast to words?
Vs. 5 - What are the commands here? What does this indicate of what our tendency might be?
Vs. 6 - What are the commands here? What are the promises?
Vs. 7 - Is this a Catch-22? How can you get Wisdom, if to get it, you need it? What might this tell us about the nature of Wisdom? To help answer that question, consider two things, one in chapter 2 what was Wisdom regularly paralleled with or compared with, and two, consider how the phrase "beginning of..." might contribute to your understanding of the nature of Wisdom. e.g. is Wisdom a thing to gain or grasp? If not, what is it best compared to?

We will work through verses 10-19 in greater detail during the lesson. But, as a preview, look at each verse and find the commands. Then see what principle can be drawn from that command, then ask yourself how that principle might apply to you. We will spend most of our time in verses 10-19 talking through the application of these verses, so please come prepared to share and talk.

A Big Log Poking from Your Eye: A Bible study of Matthew 7:1-6 @ 7pm @ the Grosjean’s this Friday (9/14/12)

Dear fellow Duloi of the Noho Biblestudy,

This coming Friday we will study Matthew 7:1-6. Come to the Grosjean's at 7pm. This is an often quoted, albeit often misused, portion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We will address these questions during the study:

Why did Jesus say this?

Who is Jesus’ primary original audience in this passage?

How have you seen/heard this passage wrongly used? How have you seen/heard this passage rightly used?

If you are able to please read Matthew 5-7, the entire Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, to give yourself good context for the study.

I am looking forward to a great time of fellowship and bible study!

In Christ,

Pascal and Vince
