WORLD VIEW - Wide Angle, Framing Your World View

The World View Series will be a minimum of six sessions, depending on class participation. Each of the six sessions has three ten-minute sections. Between each of the three sections, we will take time for questions and discussion.

Below is an outline for the WV Series:

WIDE ANGLE
Framing Your Worldview

ð       Session One:................ My Worldview Matters
o   What differences do worldviews make? Are these differences important?
o   How do you see those around you compartmentalizing their lives? How do you see yourself doing the same thing?
o   When we look at the world, in what ways do we cry out “mine,” when we should cry out “his”?
ð       Session Two: ............... How Do We Know What’s True?
o   Is it possible to be tolerant and articulate truth at the same time? If so, how?
o   Which of these three approaches to knowing truth do you think is the most effective defense of the faith? Why?
o   How can you use the four worldview questions to show people that their worldviews do not work, but that the biblical worldview does?
ð       Session Three:............. Where Did We Come From?
o   Why is the Biblical idea that we are created in the image of God so important?
o   How is Darwinism more than just science?
o   How are “sanctity of life” issues related to the first worldview question: “Where did I come from?”
ð       Session Four:............... It’s a Messed Up World
o   Explain the impact of original sin (the fall). Why is it important?
o   How do you think love, free will, and human responsibility fit together in God’s plan?
o   Compare the Biblical worldview to other explanations of the problem of suffering. Which explanation makes more sense?
ð       Session Five:............... What’s the Solution?
o   What alternative “solutions” do you most often encounter? How do they affect you? How do you respond to them?
o   To be free you must first surrender you r life. Why is this paradox important?
o   How have you seen God’s reconciling power in our life?
ð       Session Six:.................. What Do I Do Now?
o   In what ways could you see your work as an area of ministry?
o   In what area of your life do you have the most difficulty recognizing God’s sovereignty?

o   What do you find most challenging about living out the Biblical worldview?
