Join us for a Bible study that will meet for six times in the 2009-10 year.
Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here? These are the big questions that eventually confront every man. Usually the dual questions begin to nag in childhood. Aware of a wide universe and seeking to grasp his place within it, the child asks and wonders. The truth, of course, is that the questions do not go away with time. Perhaps the nagging can be quelled or covered with distractions and with rationalizations. But, eventually everyone must return to the questions of one's own existence and the reason for being. These questions refuse to go away. God has the answers.
This Bible Study will be held during the upcoming 2009-10 year. Your commitment would be attending six times. Join us for "Who Am I?" This study will be held at Our Redeemer.
Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?
By: Dr. Joel D. Biermann
The universe, God's will, speaking the Christ story, true human fulfillment, God's Law, the point of it all-these are some of the ideas in Pastor Joel Biermann's explorative video Bible study. In six sessions, he takes us from the beginning to that place where, on the Last Day, we find our greatest realization as humans.
It's essentially about us being God's creatures, redeemed by Christ and restored through faith. Our role is to fulfill God's place for us within His creation.
God's Law involves the ordering and function of His creation throughout the universe. Our sin perverts our grasp and understanding of God's will for His creation.
Accepting that God is in charge in all things is not a popular idea among modern man. God's purposes will be accomplished and His creatures thrive best when living coherently within His design.
We are all here to do what God put us here to do. Though our vocations are many, church work does not supersede family responsibilities and other necessary obligations. We fit into God's creation and His scheme of things, not vice versa.
God's law is good, His will for His people is that they speak the Gospel message and share the life of Jesus Christ with others. Proclamation is paramount, not optional.
The Last Day fulfills God's will for the earth and its creatures; it doesn't conclude world history but redeems and restores this planet. The point of our lives is to live as God's creatures.
