SUNDAY CONNECT GROUP STUDIES (May-July)
We all see the world through our own lenses or filters. These lenses or filters are shaped by events or stories we experience; by our background and context; by what we read, watch, and consume. Essentially, this means every human has his/her own biases. It’s impossible to be completely objective. We are all shaped by our backgrounds and experiences. These form the lenses or filters through which we see the world.
Each week, we’ll look at a common false story (like we discussed earlier in today’s lesson). We’ll talk about how we buy into it, and then we’ll see how people in the Bible bought into similar false stories. It’s not just about “getting it right.” We’ll see that Christianity offers the best way to look at the world. In fact, a robust Christian worldview should be evangelistic, in that others look at us and want to see the world the way we do.
