(Questions and Scriptures for further study)

Do you tend to worry? What about?

What exceptions do you usually make for your worries?

Is anything wrong if we do worry? How do you know?

Do you believe God’s peace can really be obtained?

Do you think worry is a problem in our society?

Do most of God’s people experience God’s great and glorious peace? Why or why not?

How do you personally respond to this challenge, “Be anxious for nothing?” Do you think that includes very difficult times? Isn’t worry natural?

Re-read Philippians 4:6. Take a close look at verse 6. Do you think there is any place for worries? Why or why not? What does the passage say?

Why does Jesus say the reason for worry is our little faith? (Refer to “O men of little faith” (Matthew 6:30).

What is worry? Try writing a definition. Does this definition work? Worry is the preoccupation of life without taking God’s constant love and power into consideration.

What are the references to prayer in verse 6?

How does thanksgiving fit into making our supplications? Have you done that? Is it easy or hard for you?

Read Philippians 4:7. How can we best describe God’s peace? Name four aspects of God’s peace from this verse.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We believe in the personal return
of Jesus Christ,
in the resurrection of the dead,
in God’s judgment of all persons with perfect

A Strong Foundation – 9. The Local Church
Acts 2:42-47

We believe the local church is a fellowship of believers who,
in obedience, gather regularly for worship, prayer, instruction,
encouragement, mutual ministry, and accountability, to observe
the two ordinances given to the church by Jesus Christ: Baptism
and the Lord’s Supper.
The local church has been commissioned by Christ,
the Head of the church, for all things, to reach lost people
and disciple them into fully devoted followers of Christ.
The local church is to be led by mature
spiritual overseers or elders,
as directed by the Spirit and the Word of God
under the headship of Christ.

8. The Church
1 Peter 2:9-10

We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of His body, the Church, which
includes all persons, living or dead, who have been joined to Him
through saving faith. The Church is the people of God, baptized by the
Holy Spirit into one body, who are to live in Christ’s abiding presence
until His return.
The Church is:
