Do you observe a lot of justice in this world?  Or a lack of justice?  Either way, how do you reconcile your observation with God\u2019s love of justice?<\/p>\n<p>God calls his people rebellious, disobedient and obstinate\u00a0 See Isaiah 65:1-5.  It is as if the people purposely went out of their way to insult God.  Was there something especially wicked about these people?  How would they compare to people in our society today?<\/p>\n<p>The prophet Jeremiah \u201csaw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.\u201d  Jeremiah 4:23.  Compare this vision to Genesis 1:1-3.  What can we learn anything about the nature of God in these verses?<\/p>\n<p><u>New Testament<\/u><br \/>\nIs it hard to concentrate on the things mentioned in Philippians 4:8-9?  It it even possible to only think of these things? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can do all things through him who strengthens me.\u201d  Philippians 4:13.  How do you interpret this verse, and how does it apply to your life?<\/p>\n<p>Colossians 1:18 says that God is the head of the church, and the church is the body.  In this analogy can there be more than one head?  Can other church leaders be the \u201chead\u201d too.  What, if anything, does this tell you about the proper structure for the church and God\u2019s role in the church?<\/p>\n<p><u>FOOTNOTE:<\/u><\/p>\n<div class='footnotes' id='footnotes-5628'>\n<div class='footnotedivider'><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li id='fn-5628-1'>  If you are participating in the Saturday morning class, <i>&#8220;The One Year Bible Challenge,&#8221;<\/i> you should read the daily materials as set out in <i>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneyearbibleonline.com\/readingplan\/oneyearbiblereadingplan.pdf\" title=\"one year Bible reading plan\" target=\"_blank\">The One Year Bible<\/a>.&#8221;<\/i>  The verses listed on this page will include a couple of extra days each week. <span class='footnotereverse'><a href='#fnref-5628-1'>&#8617;<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5628?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5628?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christ the Rock Community Church, Saturday Morning Men&#8217;s Bible Study This week&#8217;s reading October 1-71 Isaiah 62:6 to Jeremiah 9:26 Philippians 2:19 to Colossians 3:17 Psalm 73:1 to Psalm 78:55 Proverbs 24:13 to Proverbs 24:27 Next Week&#8217;s Reading October 8-17 Jeremiah 10:1 to Jeremiah 25:38 Colossians 3:18 to 2 Thessalonians 2:17 Psalm 78:56 to Psalm &hellip;
