💁🏻 Concept: HeavenHeaven is the place where God most fully reveals His glorious presence. It is the home of God, the dwelling place of angels and the spirit of redeemed saints, where worship is unceasing and joy is full. Yet, heaven is not our final home but the temporary dwelling of believers awaiting the resurrection. The final destiny of Christians is a renewed creation where God dwells with His people bodily, His will is perfectly done, joy never ends, and every tear is wiped away. For Christians, our true and final home is not escape from the world, but the restoration of all things in Christ.

Help me to fix my eyes not on the temporary struggles of this life but on the eternal joy that awaits me. Let heaven shape my values, my goals, and my relationships. Teach me to long for You more than for the things of this world. Fill me with hope and endurance as I wait for that glorious day. Until then, help me to live with purpose and joy. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: GraceGrace is God’s goodness freely given to those who deserve only punishment. It is unearned, undeserved, and overflowing.

When I run away, You call me back. Help me to stop striving to earn what You’ve already given freely. Let Your grace shape my attitude. Let me be humble.

💁🏻 Concept: Gospel CallThe gospel call is God's gracious invitation to all people to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. It is also called the external call, because it comes through human preaching, teaching, or sharing of the gospel. While not everyone responds with faith, the call itself is genuine and universal—God desires that none should perish, but all come to repentance.

💁🏻 Concept: GoodnessGod’s goodness means that He is the ultimate standard of what is right, beautiful, and worthy of praise. Everything He does is good—even when we don’t fully understand it.

Even when life is hard and confusing, help me to remember that You are still working all things together for my good. Teach me to embrace Your authority with joy, trusting in Your perfect wisdom and timing. Fill my heart with Your goodness so that I may reflect it in the way I speak, act, and love others. Let my life be a testimony of both Your gracious rule and overflowing kindness. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Let it correct me when I’m wrong, teach me when I’m lost, and lead me into righteousness. When doubts come, remind me that Your Word is my firm foundation. Give me a hunger to read it daily, and the courage to live it boldly. Shape me, train me, and prepare me for every good work. In the name of Jesus, the Living Word, I pray. Amen.

💁🏻 Concept: General RevelationGeneral revelation is the knowledge of God that is available to all people through creation and conscience. It tells us that God exists, that He is powerful and moral. However, it is not enough to save—only the gospel of Jesus Christ brings salvation. Still, general revelation makes everyone accountable to acknowledge God.
General Revelation:1. Heart: Conscience reveals God’s moral law. 2. Mind: Reason reveals God’s laws of logic. 3. Creation: The universe reveals God’s laws of nature. 
📖 Bible Readings: Psalm 19:1(Psalm 19:1-4; Acts 14:17; Job 12:7-10; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Isaiah 6:3; Romans 1:19-20; Nehemiah 9:6; Revelation 4:11; 1 Corinthians 10:31)

Yet I know that to truly know You, I need the gospel of Jesus Christ. Help me not to ignore the signs of Your glory around me. Make me bold to point others from creation to Christ. Let my heart always be in awe of You, and let Your majesty in creation stir a hunger in me for deeper worship. In Jesus’ name, amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Gap TheoryThe Gap Theory teaches that there’s a time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, possibly millions of years. Some believe this explains the age of the earth or a previous creation judged by God. However, the Bible doesn’t clearly teach this theory. Many faithful Christians believe the creation account is continuous and complete from verse 1 onward.
📖 Bible Readings: Genesis 1:1-2(Exodus 20:11; Isaiah 45:18; Psalm 33:6-9; John 1:3; Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. The Gap Theory eisegetes theory into the Bible. 2. The Bible must be used as basis of science. 3. The Bible teaches a six-day creation and reveals the origin of sin and death. 
💪🏼 Applications:1. Understand God’s hierarchy of revelations. 2. Consider the Bible as our supreme authority. 3. Form a habit of reading the Bible exegetically.
🎙Discussion:What is exegesis, and why is it important to develop a habit of reading the Bible exegetically? 
🙏🏼 Prayer:Creator God, thank You for Your Word that speaks truth across generations. When I am tempted to follow human reasoning over divine revelation, remind me that You are wise beyond all understanding. Help me to read Scripture with faith, not just curiosity. May I never place human ideas above Your Word. Teach me to worship You as the God of creation, order, and beauty. Let Your Word be my anchor as I navigate a world filled with different ideas. Strengthen my confidence in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

💁🏻 Concept: Free WillFree will is the ability to make real and meaningful choices. In the biblical sense, humans are responsible for their actions. While God is sovereign over all, He created people with the capacity to choose—especially to love, obey, or reject Him. Some define free will as the ability to make choices not determined by God, but Scripture teaches that God's sovereignty and human responsibility go together.
📖 Bible Readings: Genesis 2:16-17(Genesis 1:26-27; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Joshua 24:15; Isaiah 1:18-20;  John 7:17; Romans 2:15, 6:16; Philippians 2:12-13; Proverbs 16:9; Acts 2:23; John 14:15; 1 Corinthians 16:14; John 13:34-35)
👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. Free will is a sacred gift of God. 2. Free will is either loving or harmful.3. Free will is designed for loving relationships.
💪🏼 Applications:1. Mimic and apply Christ’s love.2. Make biblically guided decisions. 3. Mend brokenness by choosing the path of love.  
🎙Discussion:Why is choosing the path of love always worth it?
🙏🏼 Prayer:Lord, thank You for giving me the ability to choose. Even though I often make mistakes, I trust that You are working all things together for good. Help me to always choose the path of love. Let me love even when it is hard. Let me choose good relationships over bad ones. Teach me to surrender my will to Yours. Give me discernment in my daily decisions and courage to obey, even when it’s difficult. I pray that my free will guided by Your grace will always lead me closer to Jesus. I pray this In Jesus’ name, amen.
