Use the WORD Activity sheet accordingly or as your guide
Note to Word Facilitator, as closing, it is recommended that you close with this song:
The song is “He Knows my Name” by Tommy Walker sung by a little girl.
The reason this version is chosen is because God accepts us as His children. Even in the imperfectness of our life, He loves us as we are. Also, we need to learn to love God again as a young child, exactly as Jesus advocates us to come to God in the same way.
WORD Activity Sheet (for Printing)
The Doubt / The AnswerAlthough we ‘know’ that our God is all powerful and yet all loving, still we have doubts in life at times. Write down, in the space below, your latest challenge in trusting God completely / Jesus says,“He is the Way, the Truth and the Life” and He is the answer to all the doubts in life. How real is Jesus to you and what does He mean to you as…
The Way:
The Truth:
The Life:
The RevelationQuestions for Discussion
1)Christ reveals to us the Father in Heaven. He is not just a Sovereign King but a personal God. Are you able to identify with God as Abba Father (i.e. Papa God)? If so, what is your most recent intimate experience with Him? If not, what is keeping you from experiencing this wonderful joy?
