Looking For Some Input For Bible Class
I will be speaking/teachibg a class on June 7th in our VBS at Cherry St Church of Christ (Adult Class). The theme for the VBS is Depend On God.
My topic is ”Depend on God for Discernment.” I was hoping to get some suggestions for the lesson. I know there are many ways to deal with this– I can chose my own passages and comments. So, I would appreciate your input on this–thanks in advance.

Be sure to include, Larry, 1 Peter 2:21-25. That is our great example.

Hello Larry,
I would use Hebrews 5:14. It doesn’t take long to see the difference in what God’s word teaches and what the world teaches concerning good and evil and how far apart they can be.
You could also use 1 Cor. 12:10. The miraculous ability may not be with the church anymore but the responsibility still is; and it uses the same Greek word as Hebrews 5:14. They can tie together really well.
God definitely wanted the church to not only be on the look out, but he wanted them to know what to look for (1 John 4:1; Matthew 7:15-20). That takes proper spiritual discernment for sure.
Hope all goes well.
