Session 4: Building a relationship with God (Listening)

To start off, lets thank Elaine, Daryl and Cheuktow for their wonderful session & prayer.

Inquirers were asked to gather in their sharing groups to recap and recall with each other what they've learnt the previous week. 

Recall: Session 3 (Communicating with god through prayer)

Sharing question:

1. Have you prayed to god during the past week

Activity for the day:

Puzzles. A bag filled with puzzle pieces from 4 different puzzle set were left with daryl and placed in front of the room. Inquirers were supposed to come forward and pick their puzzle pieces from that bag.

Along the way, there were many distractions around (Loud music, sponsors moving around, messing up inquirers’ puzzle, missing puzzle pieces) 

Sharing question(s):
1. How was the activity?
2. What tactics did you use?

3. Has god answered your prayer?

4. How we feel when we realized that god did not answer our prayer?

5. How do we listen to god? 

What is a bible? 

(Some of the answers given by our inquirers)

1. Gods' Stories

2. Basic instruction from god before leaving Earth

3. Gods' teachings 

One way to listen to god is through reading the bible. In order to allow our inquirers to better able to listen to god and build a relationship with him, they were each given a bible. 

Inquirers were introduced to some parables found in the bible.

Matt 14: 25-33 “Jesus walks on the water and, with him, Peter” Page 1164

John 11: 32-44 “ The resurrection of Lazarus” Page 1259

Matt 9: 27-31 “ Cure of two blind men” Page 1157

One thing to take away from today’s session: Build a relationship with God and the people around you.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this beautiful sat afternoon and I thank you for providing us with such a fruitful session.
