Draw a picture of yourself and where you understand God to be based on the
quote from A. W. Tozer.
**Side note on A. W. Tozer (1897-1963 Tozer hailed from a tiny farming
community in western La Jose, Pennsylvania. He converted to Christianity as a
teenager, in Akron, Ohio; while on his way home from work at a tire company,
he overheard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved ... just
call on God, saying, 'Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.'" Upon returning home,
he climbed into the attic and heeded the preacher's advice.)

**The Wesleyan Quadrilateral- way to test truth of something you have
heard or have been taught using scripture, tradition, reason, and experience.
“The phrase which has relatively recently come into use to describe the principal
factors that John Wesley believed illuminate the core of the Christian faith for the
believer. Wesley did not formulate the succinct statement now commonly referred
to as the Wesley Quadrilateral. Building on the Anglican theological tradition,
Wesley added a fourth emphasis, experience. The resulting four components or
"sides" of the quadrilateral are (1) Scripture, (2) tradition, (3) reason, and (4)
experience. For United Methodists, Scripture is considered the primary source and
standard for Christian doctrine. Tradition is experience and the witness of
development and growth of the faith through the past centuries and in many
nations and cultures. Experience is the individual's understanding and
appropriating of the faith in the light of his or her own life. Through reason the
individual Christian brings to bear on the Christian faith discerning and cogent
thought. These four elements taken together bring the individual Christian to a
mature and fulfilling understanding of the Christian faith and the required response
of worship and service.” (http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/wesleyan-

This ancient practice has been likened to a meal. If you are like me, I tend to eat
very quickly. I don’t take time to chew my food very well (probably hearkens back
to the days of feeding my special needs students at the same time I was trying to fit
in lunch – gobble and go!). I rarely take time to savor and sometimes I don’t even
eat food that has many nutrients. If we want to really discern the voice of God
through Scripture, we need to approach Scripture as we would approach fine
dining – sitting down at the table, giving it due respect and time and appreciation.
What are we doing when we take the first bite of Scripture?

• God-given dreams won’t _________________________________.
God-given dreams will stretch you to do things you didn’t know you
were capable of even attempting.

challenges the status quo and nudges us in new directions.

decades.

The Fifth Language: People
1. Pgs. 130-131 You know why God puts people in our lives? It’s not just to
overcome solitary conceit; it’s also to overcome solitary confinement. He
puts people in our lives to keep us humble and to draw out our potential. I
like to think of it as human pinball; we bump into different anointings,
different giftings, different ideas. Somehow God uses those relational
encounters to get us where He wants us to go. List some people you have
bumped up against over the years whom God used to get you where He
wanted you to go.

3. Pgs. 132-133 God uses people to speak to us and uses us to speak to other
people. He has given us a spirit of power, love and discipline, not a spirit of
timidity. (2 Timothy 1:7) When you use your personality as an excuse not to
speak to others as God planned, you are using your personality as a crutch.
What parts of your personality have been a crutch keeping you from
speaking as God desires?

4. Pgs.133-141 Mark Batterson talks about the four quadrants of the Johari
Window: information about you that both you and others know; information
about you that you know but others don’t know; information about you that

nor others know. Think about those things you know about yourself that

2. Pg. 171 The Hebrew word for “joy” refers to rare joy, extreme joy – it is

_______________and listen ________________________.
7. Two promises in Scripture:
• Phil 1:6 God will ____________________ what He has started.
• Psalm 16: 11 There is _________________ being in the presence of
God.
Because God will not start something good in us without seeing it to
completion, and because He will never leave nor forsake us especially in
our times of pain and sorrow, we can come into His presence - even in
our darkest times and experience joy!
8. Pg. 177 Christ endured excruciating pain willingly for you, for me – why?
Because He ________________ us. You are _____________the Cross to
Christ. I am _______________ the Cross to Christ. And if He as willing to
hang on His cross, we can ______________________ carry ours.
9. Define the word contending.

10. Pg. 180 Contending isn’t easy, but here’s some good news: God is
contending for you! Long before you woke up this morning, the

you go to sleep tonight, He’ll still be ____________________________ for
you. He contends with those who contend against us.

13. Pg. 182 some things to consider when in worship and offering praise:
• Don’t let what’s ______________ with you keep you from
worshipping what’s ________________ with God. The only way to
drown out the pain is to sing over it. In order to sing over it, you have
to hear God’s whisper.
• The ________________ praise is the highest praise. If you learn to
praise Him in the ________________ of times, the best is yet to
come! Verbalize your pain to the Lord. Sing over it! Sing through it!
• Sing like you ________________________ it. Does your face, do
your hands and feet show you believe in what you are singing and
offering as praise?

My strength is almost gone how can I You never left my side
carry on And though my heart is torn
If I can't find you I will praise you in this storm
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the And though my heart is torn
rain I will praise you in this storm
