Tonight the Jr. High youth explored claims they may soon hear, that the Bible is unreliable because it has been changed by people over time and modified to say what the copiers wanted it to say.  We learned that this could not ever happen, simply because of the amount of copies that were made when the Bible was originally written and the devoted believers who were willing to even die to preserve the Gospel accounts.  Also, the fact that we have such ancient manuscripts preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls makes our modern day Bible quite simply THE most reliable document in existence today.  Frankly, if we can’t trust the authenticity and fidelity of the Bible then nothing ever written can be trusted. 

Do you have to see something in order to believe in it?   What about wind, can you really see wind?   Does that mean it’s not really there?    How about carbon dioxide?  The “mad scientists” of the NCF Jr. High group performed extensive scientific research this evening in an attempt to answer these very questions.  Wait a minute……I thought this was a bible study, not a science fair.  What does a chemical reaction have to do with the Holy Spirit anyway?

Did Justin ever work for the space program?  Does Tommy like mac & cheese pizza?   Who loves peanut butter and jelly? Tonight we learned the answers to these questions and dug deeper into the topic of “God the Son”.

I assume by now there has been significant talk about an ice cream bowl.  Some have said that entire armies could march for miles within this bowl and never reach the rim.  Though rumors of the bowl abound and are grand in scope the reality is oh so sweet!  Imagine if you will a bowl, the likes of which none have seen before.  A bowl that dwarfs all other bowls.  One bowl to rule them all…que ominous music!

Truth & Life

Tonight we took our first look at God the Son.  After studying God the Father and learning that He is the creator of the universe, the giver of knowledge, and the source of salvation, our study on the trinity naturally lead us to take a look at who Jesus is, according to His own words.
