Life of Christ

Think! Jesus' Birth

Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-2:21; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Revelation

22:18-19

The Bible tells us many important facts about the birth of Jesus. It tells us that Jesus

was a descendent of King David. It tells us that His birth was miraculous. It tells us

that He is God's son. It tells us that an angel from God announced His birth not just

to Mary and Joseph, but also to shepherds who were in a field at night watching

their flocks. It tells us many other things regarding the circumstances of our Lord's

birth. What the bible doesn't tell us is when Jesus was born. If God had wanted us to

celebrate Jesus' birthday, he would have told us when he was born and how to

celebrate that day.

Put a check mark next to the true statements and an X next to the false statements.

___ Mary was Jesus' mother.

___ Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem to register for the census.

___ Jesus' mother laid him in a manger because there was no room at the inn in Bethlehem.

___ The Bible tells us that Jesus was born on Christmas Day.

___ An angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds who were living out in the fields.

___ The shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks during the day.

___ The Bible tells us to celebrate Jesus' birth.

___ The Bible tells us to remember Jesus death by taking the Lord's supper.

___ An angel appeared to Mary and told her that she would have a baby.

___ The angel who appeared to Mary was Michael.

___ An angel appeared to Joseph and told him that Mary's baby was of the Holy Spirit.

___ God is displeased when we add to what He has told us to do. (Hint: Galations 1:8-9, Matthew 15:8-9,

Revelation 22:18-19)

The Pentecost Miracle

Jerusalem.


The Church Begins

Across 2. The people were told they must do this to be saved. (Acts 2:38) 5. The church continued in the apostle’s _______. (Acts 2:42) 7. He preached the first sermon. (Acts 2:14) 8. The people were also they must do this to be saved. (Acts 2:38) 10. People from _____ ______ heard the first sermon. (Acts 2:5)

Down 1. The apostles spoke in other _____. (Acts 2:4) 3. He added saved to the church. (Acts 2:47) 4. God made Him Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36) 6. They crucified Jesus. (Acts 2:36) 9. The day the church began. (Acts 2:1)


Think! Elders

1 Thes 5:12, Acts 20:28-30, 1 Tim 3:2-7, Titus 1:7-9, Heb 13:17, 1 Pet 5:1-3

God has specified that every local church be autonomous, having its own elders. Elders have a very

important role in the spiritual health of the church. They are to watch over the local church to make sure it

is following the Bible. The elders report directly to Jesus, who is the head of the church. No other church

organization is found in the Bible. Any other organization is man's creation. God has specified the

qualifications for elders.

Write "T" next to the true statements and "F" next to the false ones.

1. Preachers are pastors. (Ephesians 4:11)

2. A church may have just one elder. (Acts 14:23, Acts 20:17, Titus 1:5, Philippians 1:1)

3. Both men and women may be elders. (1 Timothy 3:2)

4. New Christians may be elders. (1 Timothy 3:6)

5. Elders must be gentle and not violent. (1 Timothy 3:3, Titus 1:7)

6. The work of an elder is a good work to be desired. (1 Timothy 3:2)

7. Elders oversee the activities of the church. (Acts 20:28)

8. Elders are rulers who yell at members. (Heb. 13:17, 1 Tim. 3:3)

9. Elders may have as many wives as they want. (1 Tim 3:2, Titus 1:6)

10. Elders must be hospitable. (1 Timothy 3:2)

11. It doesn't matter if the elders decide to have a mid-week Bible study. We do not have to obey them. (Hebrews 13:17)

12. An elder must have children. (Titus 1:6)


Think! Deacons

Acts 6:2-4, 1 Timothy 3:8-13

Deacons are servants who help elders. When a special task needs to be done, elders appoint deacons to carry out the

task. In this way, the task gets done, but the elders can continue to focus on watching out for the congregation and looking for other needs. Not just anyone can be a deacon. The Bible tells us the qualifications for deacons.

Write "T" next to the true statements and "F" next to the false ones.

1. The job of a deacon is to serve. (1 Timothy 3:13, Acts 6:2-4)

2. A woman may be a deacon. (1 Timothy 3:11-12)

3. A single man may be a deacon. (1 Timothy 3:12)

4. A man whose wife is not a faithful Christian may be a deacon. (1 Timothy 3:11)

5. A deacon is a young elder. (Acts 6:2-4)

6. A deacon must have children. (1 Timothy 3:12)

7. Elders must examine deacons to prove they are qualified. (1 Timothy 3:10)

8. Deacons must rule their own houses. (1 Timothy 3:12)

9. A deacon must be truthful. (1 Timothy 3:8)

10. A deacon may have a bad reputation in the local town as long as the rumors are not true. (1 Timothy 3:10)

6. We are to make melody in this. (Ephesians 5:19) 8. The ____ of Christ is to dwell in us. (Colossians 3:16)

9. We are to ____ to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:19)


Think! Music as Worship to God

John 4:24, Ephesians 5:18-19, Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 2:12, 1 Corinthians 14:15, Acts 16:25

God teaches us what is acceptable to Him as worship both through direct commands and through

examples of what others did in the Bible. One of the things He tells us is what kind of music He wants for the church.

In the old testament, the children of Israel worshipped God using various musical instruments such as tumbrels and harps. King David wrote about such in Psalm 150. When Jesus died on the cross, He nailed the old law that the Israelites followed to the cross and set up a new law for us to follow. (Hebrews 8:7-13, Colossians 2:13-14) The church today is to follow this new law and not the old one. (Galatians 5:4) This is why we do not sacrifice animals, burn incense, or use musical instruments today in our worship to God.

Write "T" next to the statements that are true and "F" next to the ones that are false.

1. The Israelites used musical instruments to worship God. (Psalm 150:3-5) 2. We can use musical instruments to worship God today because the Israelite did. (Galatians 5:4) 3. God's new law tells us to sing songs. (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16)

4. God's new law tells us to play songs. (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16) 5. The only examples of church music are of singing. (See verses at top) 6. It doesn't matter if we add to what God has commanded. (Revelation 22:18, Matthew 15:8-9) 7. We must all sing. (Ephesians 5:19) 8. We are to be filled with wine. (Ephesians 5:18) 9. We teach each other through singing. (Ephesians 5:19) 10. We should pay attention to the words we are singing. (Ephesians 5:19)

11. It doesn't matter if we sing songs that teach errors. (Eph. 5:19, Gal. 1:8-9)

12. We can sing any kind of song we want. (Ephesians 5:19) 13. God is the object of our worship. (John 4:24) 14. We can worship God any way we choose as long as we are sincere. (John 4:24, Matthew 5:8-9)

How God's Grace Saves

"Be saved from this perverse generation." Acts 2:40

The Bible says that God's grace saves us and we cannot earn our salvation. How does God's grace work?

God didn't have to save us. It was by His grace, love, and mercy that He made a way for us to be saved.

God doesn't save us when we just sit still doing nothing. God commanded that we do some things to reach

out and touch His grace. We must obey all of God's commands to be pleasing to Him. (Galatians 1:8-9,

Revelation 22:18-19, John 14:15) Once we obey these commands, God's grace saves us. Read the Bible

verses and fill in the blanks with the actions God has commanded for us to do to receive salvation.

Saved by the Grace of God

Ephesians 2:8

"If you love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15

Do not add to or take away from God's word. Rev. 22:18-19


What Must I Do To Be Saved?

"Be saved from this perverse generation." Acts 2:40

Across

2. We must hear this to have faith (Romans

10:17)

6. This washes away your sins (Think: Acts

22:16)

9. This means "to turn away" (Think: 1 Peter

3:22, Revelation 9:20)

10. Why we need salvation (Romans 3:23)

Down

1. We must do this after we become children of

God (Revelation 2:10)

3. Who is commanded to repent? (Acts 17:30)

4. We must believe that God _______ Jesus from

the dead (Romans 10:9)

5. Without this it is impossible to please God

(Hebrews 11:6)

7. We must do this with our mouths (Romans 10:9)

8. We do this in our hearts (Romans 10:9)


What is Baptism?

There is much confusion in the religious world over what baptism is. The Bible, God's

Word, tells us exactly what baptism is. If we read all that the Bible has to say about baptism, we will understand not only what it is, but also who it is for and why we should do it.

Match the Bible verses to the information on baptism. (Some information may have more

than one verse and some verses may give more than one piece of information!) Write the letter of the information next to the Bible verse that gives the information. Then cross out any information for which there is no Bible verse.
