Sierra Leone Prayer Points February 2018

Keith Waters Prayer 0 Comment

Please pray:

  • For the elections on March 7th. The country will vote for new representatives – MPs, mayors, councillors, district council chairs and of course, a president who will determine their future for the next five years. Please pray for this process to be honest and democratic. Also that Christians will become more prominent in the ruling positions in Sierra Leone;
  • that those in leadership positions will be given wisdom and a discerning spirit as they lead the Connexional Churches;
  •  for Rev. Alex Dixon as he works with Theophilus in promoting the gospel through the Connexional Churches in Sierra Leone.
    • that he will have a good partnership with Esther Tommy;
    • that he will be given strength to fulfil his church commitments and support his wife Victoria in her illness;
    • that the church at Lady Selina will be of one mind concerning the development of the roof space;
  • for the Annual Sierra Leone Conference as it takes place this month. Pray for a sense of oneness and a spirit of love and concern.

Bible Study – Mark 2:1-12

Keith Waters Bible Studies , , , , , , , , , , , 0 Comment

A study based on the sermon: Called to bring the roof down!

  1. In verse 1 it says Jesus came home, but Jesus home was in Nazareth; why does Mark say this?
  2. Verse 2: What was Jesus preaching to the people? What should we preach to people and what happens if we preach something different?
  3. Verses 3&4: discuss the faith these men had and the effect their faith had on the different people around i.e. the paralysed man, Jesus, the four friends, the religious leaders, others in the house.
  4. How should this impact our own faith and our own approach to bringing people to Jesus?
  5. Verse 5: Jesus forgives the man’s sin – what does that mean?
  6. Verses 6-12: Jesus proves His authority, what do His words and actions prove? How should that impact our lives?

Such Authority!

Keith Waters Bible Studies , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0 Comment

A Study on Mark 1:21-45 based on the sermon: Authority!

  1. Imagine the scene in the in the Synagogue as Jesus joins the regular crowd. What was different about the way He taught?
  2. Discuss Demons, being possessed and what that means. Are Christians possessed? Discuss your answers.
  3. Why don’t we hear of people being possessed today?
  4. We see Jesus healing many people. Does He still heal today? If so why isn’t everyone healed?
  5. Talk through the lepers request, Jesus response and the Lepers response to being healed.
