What do you remember from the sermon “Genuine Christianity, Part Four”?
- Jesus tells us who Christians are – Christians are poor in spirit (have nothing to offer God); they spend a lifetime hungering after Christ and weep over sin against God. What else identifies a Christian?
a. They will be hated, insulted, and scorned
b. They strive after happiness constantly
c. They are genuinely joyful over being mistreated, as commanded by God, and this brings genuine peace to them
d. Both a and c - What kind of peace does the world want?
a. No more hunger
b. For everyone to love God
c. Absence of all conflict
d. Accepting everyone’s opinions and truths - The Bible tells us Jesus didn’t come to bring peace but a sword to divide people, yet He is called the Prince of Peace. How can both be true?
a. Jesus defines peace differently than the world
b. They can’t both be true; a scribe made an error in translation
c. The diving-people-part was said in the heat of the moment, and Jesus changed His mind back to wanting us all to get along
d. None of the above - What does it affirm if God gives a believer the grace to suffer through trouble and not a “fake-it-till-you-make-it” attitude?
a. That they are true believers headed to heaven
b. That they are fake believers
c. That they are deluded
d. Both b and c - Hebrews 11 tells us how our spiritual forefathers lived with joy in suffering. How did they do that?
a. They never expected to be better than poor, hungry, weeping, and hated
b. Their eyes were so set on heaven that the suffering seemed small compared to the joy of heaven
c. They mixed herbs with their wine
d. Both a and b - What is the true source of all quarrels and conflicts?
a. Racism
b. Sinful lusts in our hearts
c. Ignorance of other’s needs
d. Pride
