The Reflecting Heart: Christian Bible Lessons

What would you do if God asked you to sacrifice the thing that you love the most? Would you question him? I believe that most of all humanity would question God.  Did we hear him correctly?  Why am I being asked to do this? Let him speak to you and see the lesson or receive the blessing that he has in store for you.  

We are moving forward into Genesis Chapter 21 and 22 discussing Ishmael and Isaac.  We discuss how tradition is sometimes not what God wants for us.  

Who are God's chosen people?  Why are they chosen?  Why did Abram leave his family and wander to a faraway city?  Today I will introduce you to God's chosen people, the Jews.  

God allowed Noah and his family to survive the flood that destroyed the earth.  Noah was righteous, but even his best-laid plans led to sin and more damaged within the family unit.  

Why is the story of Noah important to today?  What was the purpose behind the flood?  What would it take for you to pay attention to God? 

Genesis 4-6 : The repercussions of Adam and Eve's sin carries on into the lives of their children and their ancestors.  We establish that Seth is the descendant from which all men descend.  We discuss murder, polygamy, and giants.  

So what happened in the Garden of Eden?  What went wrong and why do we still suffer the consequences of Adam and Eve's decisions?  How can we learn to stop making excuses, but instead make better choices?

Well into the 21st century there are still arguments between science and religion debating whether God created the universe and man or was there just a scientific boom that started it all.  We as Christians believe God's word that he created the heavens and the earth.  This lesson is a small window into that argument and why we believe the way we do.  

Today we are starting from the beginning.  We are going to discuss why the Old Testament is important and why studying it is important.  

This episode explains to us why we as Christians must wait on God.  We may have the best of intentions but we in ourselves are unable to see what God has planned for us, but if we turn to him, he will lead us and guide us into his will.  

Sometimes when we wait for things we grow anxious and lose focus on work that can be done while we wait.  This lesson will provide us with some things we can do and how we can train our thoughts to be positive and find the good while we wait.  

We will be discussing a little more in depth what 2 Peter 3:9 means for us as Christians as well as how our Lord has patience with us.  

Today we will take a quick look at God and his greatness.  We will learn how God wants us to flourish.  We learn that God also does not anyone to perish but to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
