What did you learn this week?

Read Revelation 13:1-18. Take some time to discuss this passage and what is happening here.

Our Statement of Faith declares that there is one God, who is “eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Theologically, this is called the Trinity. The Trinity is the one doctrine that distinguishes Christianity from all other religions. Can you think of some biblical texts that validate the doctrine of the Trinity?

What do each of the following passages teach about God, specifically what do they reveal about his triune nature and the relationship of Father, Son, & Spirit?Deuteronomy 6:4Mark 12:291 Corinthians 8:6Hebrews 1:3John 1:1Acts 5:3-4Genesis 1:1-2; Genesus 1:26-27Matthew 3:16-17Matthew 28:19-202 Corinthians 13:14Ephesians 4:4-6Jude 20-21

What is the significance of the Trinity in... Creation?

Redemption?

Community/Fellowship?

Read John 8:44. How does Jesus describe Satan? (See also John 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8; 1 John 3:8)

Read 2 Corinthians 13:5. Are you the real deal?

Compare the Antichrist in Revelation 13:1-8 with Jesus Christ in Colossians 1:13-23.

Compare the mark of the beast in Revelation 13:16-17 with the mark of the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13-14, Revelation 7:2-3.
