Formations Lesson for Sept. 12: Trusting God’s Direction
August 25 2010 by Don Gordon, senior pastor, Yates Baptist Church, Durham
Focal Passages: 1 Kings 18:1, 17-40 There comes a time in life when fundamental choices must be made before anything else can be done. You decide who you’re going to marry then begin a covenant life. You say “Yes” to a job offer then begin your work. You tell your family what God you will worship then order your lives accordingly. Elijah has earned the reputation as a “tr...

Bible Studies for Life Lesson for Sept. 12: The Case for God’s Existence
August 25 2010 by Phyllis Elvington, speaker, author, member of Tabor City Baptist Church
Focal Passages: Psalm 19:1-6; Acts 17:22-29; Hebrews 1:1-2 I could summarize this lesson in one verse: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Ps. 14:1b, RSV). Case closed. God doesn’t need our defense. He doesn’t need us to plead his case. He is God. Need some proof? Try reading Job 38-41 out loud and see for yourself. It begins with the Lord answering Job out ...

Formations Lesson for Sept. 5: Trusting God’s Supply
August 24 2010 by Don Gordon, senior pastor, Yates Baptist Church, Durham
Focal Passage: 1 Kings 17:1-24 This is the kind of text that attracts derision from modern people. Birds bringing bread and meat to starving prophets. A widow feeding prophets with a little flour and oil that never runs out. A dead boy revived because a man lies on top of him three times and offers a prayer. Moderns look at these incredible tales and ask, “Why can’t this be replic...

Bible Studies for Life Lesson for Sept. 5: Making Your Case
August 24 2010 by Phyllis Elvington, speaker, author, member of Tabor City Baptist Church
Focal Passages: Acts 21:40-22:10; 1 Peter 3:15-17 On a scale of 1-10, I would rate the importance of this lesson as a 10! The foundation of this lesson and the next 12 lessons in the unit form the basis of not only what we believe as Christians — but also why we believe what we believe. This concept is known as apologetics — defending the Christian faith. This lesson is critical for...

Formations Lesson for August 29: Closure
August 13 2010 by Don Gordon, senior pastor, Yates Baptist Church, Durham
Focal Passages: Gen. 33:1-17; 35:27-29 If you are using the Formations you have been studying the life of Jacob/Israel for the past 5 weeks. Jacob, his mother’s favorite, has moved from conniving scoundrel to a man with a new name and a new heart. Israel, as he will be called henceforth, finally comes face to face with his longtime estranged brother Esau. As a buf...

Day 6 Haiti: It had to happen
It had to happen, I suppose. After a week of mass numbers, gross results and overwhelming needs assaulting every sense — 230,000 killed in 30 seconds; 1,300 refugee camps; 3,000 helping agencies at work among victims; 80 percent unemployment; 50 percent literacy; only 40 percent with access to clean water — I thought I'd grown heart callouses hard enough to deflect any emotional tugs while I w...
