Topic: Exam Success 1: Group Study

Text: Ecclesiastes 4:4-7

4Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

5The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

6Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

7Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

Key Verse: “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Message

Our text reveals that God chose 300 men for Gideon to conquer the multitudes of the Amalekites and Midianites, the initial prophecy was that he would conquer the Midianites as one man (Judges 6:16). God was going to deliver Israel from captivity by one man – Gideon. However He chose 300 men to assist him. David had his mighty men, Daniel had his friends, and Jesus had a team of 12 disciples. Group study is a learning process through student led workshop, group discussion, peer-to-peer learning and group-centred activities, in order to attain academic goals. It offers opportunities for students to learn from one another. Some students learn better when a fellow classmate explains a particular concept in a language they understand.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
