Very Good



Who Told You That
In-depth 12 Hour Intensive Fast Pace Workshop

Description ~
In our culture today believers inevitably find themselves living their lives based upon false beliefs, very often unaware of the many harmful influences that have shaped and continue to hold us captive. To experience a life of truth it is absolutely critical to know the truth. God's truth is what sets us free! Many people have the desire to know the truth, but are unsure how to connect and apply God’s truth. Just as we do today, the woman in Genesis 3 fell into the serpent’s trap, but God gives us all that we need to overcome the lies. In this book readers will gain insight that will help to strengthen and inspire us in our walk with the Lord.

As we prepare for the upcoming in-depth workshop January 20 and January 21, 2017 we wanted to give just a taste of what to expect.

SAMPLE Session: 
Session 1 ~ Very Good (copyright © 2011 Gail Dudley excluding the "Inductive Study Method)

@ The Table:
Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Over and over again throughout the first chapter of Genesis, God says, “Let us” and then He saw that “it was good.” When we arrive at Genesis 1:27, we read, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” As we continue to read this chapter, we read these words again in the last verse of this chapter, “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.”

Grow Deeper:
Q ~ It’s all good! So, what’s up with the woman in Genesis 3?

Q ~ Why did the woman allow the conversation with the serpent? Insecurity? Intimidation? Fear?

Q ~ Why do we allow others to whisper or boldly speak lies into our life, and why do we believe those lies?

Q ~ Why do we chew and process over and over again false information that literally consumes our waking hours to the point where we become ill and experience low self-esteem?

There are many methods to studying the Bible, however, I would like to call your attention to the “Inductive Study Method.” This method draws you into personal interaction with the Scriptures. Inductive Bible study consists of three components:

• Observation—“What does the passage of scripture say?” This is the foundation that must be laid first if you want to accurately interpret and have right application for God’s Word. It’s discovering what is being said—and this requires time and practice.

Taking time to observe scriptures leads to correct interpretation and provides the foundation for personal application.

• Interpretation—“What does this passage of scripture mean?” The basis for accurate interpretation is always careful observation. This is the process of discovering what the passage of scripture means.
As you observe Scripture, the meaning will become apparent. One effective way to discover the meaning of a passage is by examining key words and consulting related cross-references.

• Application —answers the question “How does the meaning of this passage of scripture apply to me?” This is usually the first thing we want to know. Application takes place as you are confronted with the truth and decide to respond in obedience to that truth.

As you use this method of study, you will discover God’s truth yourself, without leaning on the opinions and commentary of others. This method can be your personal discovery, which develops your confidence in understanding God’s message of love personally to you.

Food For Thought ~

Serpent: slick, crafty, deceitful, clever being

(Discuss these words)

Q ~ Why would you believe a person with this characteristic? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Genesis 1:27  “So God created man in his own image, the image of God.”

Q ~ Why do we struggle with believing this truth?

Steps On The Journey ~

Psalms 139:14 “We are fearfully and wonderfully made”

Q ~ In today’s society some people focus on changing their self-image based upon what is seen in magazines, or in department store catalogues and windows, but if we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made why then do we spend thousands of dollars per year to alter our look so that someone else is either pleased or continues to be unnecessarily critical to our well-being?

Q ~ What’s one thing you can do today to live God’s truth?
