The Tower Of Babel: What Really Happened
God told the people to go outward – to be fruitful and to multiply across the globe. Instead, the people decided to go upward – to build a tower into the heavens.
In today’s study, we’ll consider the construction of the “Tower of Babel” in Genesis 11, and see why God came down to deal with its builders.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) Why was God angered by the building of this particular tower?
B) Why did God confuse the language of the builders?
C) What relationship does Genesis 11 have with Acts 2 (Pentecost)?

Faith Comes By Hearing, And Hearing By The Word
In Romans 10, Paul asked a series of important questions.
Specifically, he asked this: “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?”
If you have come to a saving faith, it is because someone shared God’s Word with you. Maybe it was a pastor. Maybe it was a parent. But someone told you about Jesus, and you responded in faith. And now, guess what? You’ve been sent to share that same gospel with others.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) Why did Paul’s heart break for his Jewish contemporaries?
B) What did Israel need? Is God done with His covenant people?
C) Why is the Gospel called the “power of God unto salvation?”

The Good Samaritan: Who Is Your Neighbor?
Who is your neighbor?
That was the question that Jesus asked the proud, arrogant lawyer. The man said that he’d kept the law. The man said that he’d loved his neighbor as himself. But Jesus knew better. Jesus knew that was only true if he neutered the word of any meaning. And so Jesus asked him, “who is your neighbor?”
Join us as we consider the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan.’
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) Why did the lawyer try to test or trap Jesus in Verse 25?
B) What was a ‘Samaritan,’ and what was their reputation?
C) What does ‘mercy ministry’ look like to those in need?
