DENOMINATIONAL DOCTRINES VS. THE BIBLE WHY HAVE THIS CLASS? 1. We want you to take this class seriously by: a. Being at every class possible b. Studying for each class 2. Bring your questions – preferably filled out. a. Do you permit your children to not do homework? b. Or go to class w/o their book? Do YOU? c. What do your children see in you? No study? No Bible at class? 1

3. If you’re not here email us and we’ll send the lesson to you. jrbronger@reagan. com mohafley@att. net 4. Answering the questions and taking notes like you were going to be studying with a member of a denomination. 5. Studying like you might be called on to teach the class. 2

c. If we were studying how to make a million dollars would you audit this class? 1. Would you just sit and hope you remembered all that the teacher said, or would you be busy taking notes and listening to every word? 2. Would you go home and go to the website and listen again making sure you got every point? 3. What would prevent you from coming to the next class? 3

REASONS FOR BIBLE CLASSES: I. MOTIVATION – must have a goal - No goal, no study 1. One goal should be to know all of God’s word Psm. 119: 11 2. Do I know it all? 3. Kids go to school sick, “Can’t miss this class” – “Got Finals” 4. It’s only a 45 minute class. 5. If all your children get is the hour and a half each in class will they be faithful later in life? a. What do they see in you? b. Ever see you studying? “Getting YOUR homework”? Sunday morning Xian? 4

II. Become a better teacher a. Why is there not a “waiting list” for teachers rather than, “We need teachers for…”? b. Are you like me and Algebra? “When will I ever use this knowledge? ” Shouldn’t be that way with Bible knowledge, Hos. 4: 6; Psm. 119: 11 III. So you can know if what is being taught is the truth. Eph. 4: 14; Heb. 5: 11 -12 5

III. So you can know if what is being taught is the truth. Heb. 5: 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to 6 discern both good and evil.

Eph. 4: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; You can prove 2+2=4 But can you prove what you believe the Bible teaches? 2 Cor. 13: 5 Examine yourself 7
