Scripture: Ephesians 5:18
God’s work in our lives begins on the inside before it is seen on the outside. At salvation, every believer receives the Holy Spirit, who works within us to shape our desires and empower our obedience.
Memory verse: “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.”
1 Corinthians 4:20
The story of Miriam in Exodus 2:1–9 takes place during one of the darkest periods in Israel’s history. The Israelites had multiplied greatly in Egypt, and Pharaoh became fearful of their growing numbers and influence.
This Bible study is a prophetic call to action as we conclude Family Month. Scripture warns that our adversary the devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to steal our joy, kill our relationships, and destroy our testimony (1 Peter 5:8; John 10:10).
Most believers remember the joy of salvation: the awareness of forgiveness, a new identity in Christ, and the excitement of walking with God. We worshiped with heartfelt praise, prayed fervently, and loved God’s Word sincerely.
After Pentecost, about three thousand people were added to the church in a single day. Their transformation came through Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit, and it led them into a life of fellowship and fruitfulness. Our unity, too, must be found in Christ alone, the true Vine.
Being born again is the beginning of a new life in Christ, not the completion of our spiritual journey.
Faithfulness means being the same person and keeping the same commitments, whether people are watching or not and whether it is convenient or not. We are faithful because we are connected to a faithful God: the branch carries the character of the Vine.
