Bible Family Feud

Family Feud- Books of the Bible

            Split into two or more teams. Flip a coin or rock paper scissors to determine the first team to pick a category. Once the team picks a category, they will each try to name a book of the bible in that category (you may consult with your team members at any time). If a team gives a wrong answer, the other team has a chance to “steal”. The first team to finish the category wins the points. Point are equivalent to the number of books in the category. Each team gets 2 google searches and 2 bible peaks. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins the game!

Even in the organization of the Bible you can see God’s overall redemptive work and it’s a good way to think about the gospel.

 

Man was created to be in unity with Godàthe Fall happenedàthe promise to Abrahamàthe journey of Israelà the need for a righteous sacrifice to atone for sinsàthe prophecy of a sacrifice for all mankindàJesus lived the righteous life we couldn’t and became the sacrifice we neededàrestored relationship between man and Godà it’s good news so we tell others about ità one day we’re all gonna get to see him face to face and it’s gonna be awesome.

 

[CONTEXT]

 

[c] ontext:

Taking a verse out of a particular passage and giving it a meaning contrary to what the time/place and rest of the passage would suggest.

 

Phillipians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Paul is talking about contentment in this passage. He has learned how to abound and how to be brought low. So the way a lot of athletes use it is completely contrary to what Paul is saying here. He’s not saying that in Christ I win every time, he’s saying he has learned how to be content with losses and victories. To know that no matter what happens the Lord is with Him.

 

[C] ontext

Taking a passage of scripture and distorting its meaning in such a way that is contrary to the entirety of scripture and the Character of God.

Psalm 137:9

Hosea 9:16-17

Ezekiel 9:5-6

Leviticus 26:21-22

Isaiah 13:15-16
