918-26. Exploration From Matthew 625-33 list

6
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Why is it more difficult for us to trust rather
than place these things in Gods hands, when He
has promised to provide what we need (Matthew
711)? (Mark 522) Have you humbled yourself,
giving up the fight of handling things yourself?
Have you placed your future at the feet of the
source of hope?

HE KNOWS MY NAME
Interaction How can we lead others to place
their futures at the feet of Jesus, whether for
their salvation or concerning their
circumstances? Reflection Reflect upon Jesus as
Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the
beginning and the end. We need not worry about
the future because, as one popular song suggests,
Hes already there.

My Name is Future
All for his Glory
Key Verse I will say to the north, Give up and
to the south, Keep not back bring my sons from
far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth
even every one that is called by my name for I
have created him for my glory, I have formed him
yea, I have made him (Isaiah 436-7). Key
Thought When our plans get interrupted, or we
cant make sense of our situation, we can trust
Gods timing and purposes. Remembering He created
us for His glory, we realize He may receive
greater glory through these circumstances.

Introduction Mark 521-43 Luke 840-56 Matthew
918-26 Isaiah 436-7 Matthew
2816-20. Exploration Just as God used Jairus
daughter to bring glory to His name, who else
does He say He created for His glory in Isaiah
436-7?
11
HE KNOWS MY NAME
(Matthew 2816-20) The Great Commission Do you
believe this is a command for every Christian?
Why is it so important for you to share the hope
in Jesus? Ironically, the woman with the issue
of blood had suffered for 12 years, the same age
as Jairus daughter. Do you think this was
significant in showing Jesus character and
power? How?
12
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Interaction How should our character as
individuals and as a church model Jesus in this
instance? Reflection Give praise to Jehovah
Shammah (The Lord is There). The Lord was there
for Jairus and the woman who touched His garment.
He is there for you.

My Name is Future
hope intercedes
Key Verse And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose
(Romans 828). Key Thought We can know hope

supernatural power transcends our human sight and
reasoning.

  dead

• for me a future full of life.

15
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Introduction Read Mark 521-43 Luke 840-56
Matthew 918-26 Jeremiah 2911-13 Romans
828. Exploration Romans 828 talks about all
things working together for good. Does this mean
that things will always seem good to us if they
are working together for Gods good? Explain.
16
HE KNOWS MY NAME
To whom is this promise given? How do we show
that we love the Lord? (Jeremiah 2911, 12-13)
What do these verses express that we must do to
find treasure in our future?
17
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Interaction What types of circumstances could
lead someone to a place of despair in which this
person becomes lifeless? How can we be the face
of Jesus to those in these circumstances and
practically help them discover a life in
Him? Reflection Think on this name for Christ
Resurrection and the Life. If, like me, you have
experienced a state of lifelessness, take a few
moments to meditate on what God has brought you
through and how He chose to do so. Thank Him for
His grace that transcended the natural and gave
you new life.
18
My Name is Future
Arise and Eat
Key Verse 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. For every one that useth
milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness
for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to
them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil (Hebrews
512-14). Key Thought We find initial healing
as we experience new life through salvation, but
greater growth and healing come as we daily feast
on His Word.
19
hope intercedes
Jesus commands

• Essential in the daughters healing process
• Essential in our discernment
• Essential in us knowing hope, healing and a
  future
• Jairus daughters story demonstrates to us that
  Jesus power through resurrection and His Word is
  the only way we can know hope, healing and a
  future.

HE KNOWS MY NAME
Introduction Read Mark 521-43 Luke 840-56
Matthew 918-26 Hebrews 512-14 Psalm
119105. Exploration In Psalm 119105, how
important did the writer regard Gods Word in his
walk with the Lord?
21
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Is it necessary for us to hold such importance
and high regard for Gods Word in order to grow
in Him and live an abundant Christian life? If
so, what specifically, would that look like in
your life? Reread Hebrews 512-14. Who can
feast on the meat of the Word? How do we reach
this point and obtain this strong meat?
22
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Interaction In Hebrews 512, we read that the
role of teaching Gods Word belongs to those who
are feasting on the meat. Why do you think it
is important to be at this point before taking on
the role of teaching Gods Word? Should new
Christians be allowed to teach in the church?
23
HE KNOWS MY NAME
Reflection Yeshua (Jesus), the Son of Gods
earthly name, means Jehovah is Salvation. If
you have not accepted Jesus, know that He is
salvationthe only way you can be healed from
your sins. You, too, can respond to His call
and arise to new life, assured He will provide
the necessary spiritual food to live that life
for Him. Just humble yourself, ask and repent
from your own way of life. If you have accepted
Him, thank Him for not leaving you dead in your
sins, for healing you and giving you a future
with a hope.
