songs for AYP, questions and challenges (end).
DISCUSS:
1) What causes divisions in society now?
2) What did the early church do to achieve unity time and make people feel close to God and a sense of belonging to the community? What can we learn for our time?
3) What are deceptions in your field or interests? How can the Bible and science be useful to meet that problem?
4) We need to combine the Bible and insights from various fields of science. Can you think of a problem in society that can be solved by knowledge of the Bible and science, esp. from 2 or more fields of knowledge?
5) What will help you study the Bible and know God better?
6) What area of research/science could help you understand God better or solve problems God has the answer to?
7) Who do you know that is very different from you and you might despise if you followed the status quo? How can you reach and connect with them best and help them understand the relevance of God and the value of belonging to a church family?

CHALLENGES:
- Study deeper into God’s word. He’s the Creator of the universe, ultimate source of love, truth, freedom, etc.
- Study science in your field and various fields to defeat sophisticated deceptions. This is not your grandpa’s generation. We need loving AND smart Christians to do and finish God’s work.
- Reach out and befriend people who are different and out of your comfort zone. Be the change God wants in the world.
