Fruit of the Spirit - Lesson 4 - Peace vs Anxiety

Welcome To Glenda Gardener's Garden :

Memory Verse :

Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Doe Doe and The Peaceful Ball (An Object Lesson on Spiritual Peace)  :

Bible Lesson :  

 

Mark 4:35-41 Jesus in the storm .. Peace be Still

In this story Jesus and his disciples are traveling from one side of a to another in a boat, but a storm ensues. Those with Jesus begin to develop extreme anxiety for the situation they are in.  They have no control over the storm and the boat is taking in water.  A sinking boat is never a fun place to be.  All this time though, Jesus is asleep - Jesus is peaceful. No matter the storm or the rocking of the boat, Jesus had peace.  When He is awoken he takes care of the storm.  We have that peace as well, we have Jesus - peaceful as ever - holding us in His grip.. ready to calm any storm we may find ourselves in.  Thank the Lord for Him, and the peace He wants us to have!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 13 - Christ's Return

Starship Truthprise's Space Log :

The spaceman has returned and wants the crew of the Starship Truthprise to abandon ship.. What will Captain D and Billy do?

We Believe..

in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth(the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.

Memory Verse :

Matthew 24:30-31

New International Version (NIV)

 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Doe Doe and Rapturous Gumballs (An Object Lesson on The Rapture)  :

Doe Doe shows an interesting example of how the rapture works!

Bible Lesson :  

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

New International Version (NIV)

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

 

1 Thess. 5  (Thief In The Night)

Jesus WILL return.  We do not know the day, nor the time, but He will return - but there is no need to worry as He loves us and gave us a way to be with Him.  He will call for us and we will go to Him.  Just like Billy and Captain D hear the voice of the Spaceman we, if we believe in Jesus, will hear and know His voice.  We will go and be with Him in this time.

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 12 - Divine Healing

Starship Truthprise's Space Log :

The ship that Captain D and the crew saved have many that are sick. Do they have what they need to healing..

We Believe..

Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Todayand is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).

Memory Verse :

Psalm 147:3

New International Version (NIV)

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Doe Doe and The Hearty Healing (An Object Lesson on Divine Healing) :

Doe Doe shows how with Jesus, we have a hope of Divine Healing in our lives!

Bible Lesson :  

Mark 8:22-26

Divine Healing is true and powerful, but we see here in this story a progressive healing.  We should never be discouraged because of things that are not healed in our lives.  Jesus CAN heal you.. and it may take a while, or a few trys.. or maybe there is something special in your affliction that Jesus wants to show God's glory.  Healing is real, and relevant today!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 8 - Speaking In Tongues

Starship Truthprise's Space Log :

Billy and Captain D just found out that the navigation device has a translator within and they can speak and understand any alien life forms! Very useful on a spaceship!

We Believe..

The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

Memory Verse :

James 3:5-6

New International Version (NIV)

Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

Doe Doe and the Flaming Tongue (An object lesson on Speaking in Tongues)  :

Doe Doe shows us an example of how powerful one tiny flame can be - and how there is only one way that we can control our tongue! 

Bible Lesson : 

 

Acts 10:24-48 (Cornelius and His Friends Speaking in Tongues)

We may think that we are special because we are saved by Jesus, and really this is how the Jewish community felt about themselves because they were the chosen people of God.  God did a miraculous thing when he poured the Holy Spirit on Cornelius and his friends because they were all gentiles, which meant that they were NOT Jews and NOT the chosen people.  

It showed that God was accepting all people.  He did this by making sure something happened - speaking in tongues.  It is possible that they would have believed without that outward sign, but with it - the disciples AND 'circumcised' according to the story could not doubt that God had done what happened there.  Do not doubt what God does in your life, and never be afraid to give Him control of that most powerful device, your tongue!

An Adventure Through Space Learning The Fundamentals of Truth - Lesson 3 - Jesus : Both Human and Divine

Starship Truthprise's Space Log :

Oh no! IT looks like Captain D is running low on gas.. and there is something else blocking the Starship Truthprise from moving on... what can they do?

We Believe :

In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine. 

Memory Verse :

John 1:1

New International Version (NIV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Doe Doe and The RabbitDuck (An Object Lesson on Jesus being Human and Divine) :

Doe Doe uses some animals in his hat to talk about how Jesus is both Human and Divine!

Bible Lesson : 

His virgin birth, Matthew 1:23 [KJV/NIV]

His sinless life, Hebrews 7:26 [KJV/NIV]

His miracles, Acts 2:22 [KJV/NIV]

His substitutionary work on the cross, 1 Corinthians 15:3 [KJV/NIV]

His bodily resurrection from the dead, Luke 24:39 [KJV/NIV]

His exaltation to the right hand of God. Philippians 2:9-11 [KJV/NIV]

Sometimes we are in such a state that we can only have help by a very powerful person.  The entire world needs Jesus.  God sent him, His very son, to give us an example to live by.  Only a full human and divine being could have done what Jesus did here on earth! Born of a virgin - and the Holy Spirit ... Living a sinless life ... the miracles he was able to perform ... the sacrifice on the cross ... His resurrection ... and lifting to the right hand of God! What an amazing God we serve!

Old Mother Hubbard - Lesson 16 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

    
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor little doggie had none.

Philippians 4:19

New International Version (NIV)

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

1 Kings 17:7-16

Elijah and The Woman

Old Mother Hubbard likely felt much like the woman in this bible story.  The good thing is that even though there was a drought and it was very possible this woman and her son would die, God stepped in when they were in need.  Their trust in this man of God saved them - and in the end themselves - the boy literally regained his life in the story.  God is amazing and we should truly trust in Him to provide us our needs and not worry about everything around us! 

Mr. Derek talks about when God fed a man by ravens and then the miracles that happened with an old woman and her son.
