What role, if any, did God play in your family when you were growing up? How does your upbringing impact your beliefs now?<\/p>\n<p>5. Is there something in your own life that points to God and His existence?<\/p>\n<p>6. Read Hebrews 11:13.\u00a0How does knowing that there is a higher power, God, and His creation give you comfort and help you understand this issue?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Most of us \u201chope there\u2019s something else out there.\u201d And the thoughts people have about God are as diverse as the people who\u2019ve thought them. Most have attributed their life to some form of god or Supreme Being. As we saw and discussed, there is ample evidence supporting this. Yet, it seems, for us to be confident that there is a God, he\/she\/it must \u201creveal himself to us in a way that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 19:1 states, \u201cThe heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.\u201d In other words, if there is a God, all people have experienced him, though they might not have known it or attributed that experience to God. This week, keep an open mind and consider how the creation around you might speak of God and his plans.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/exploregod.com\/god\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAccess More Resources &#038; Videos<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h1>\n\t\tGET THE APP!<br \/>\n\t<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Download our free New Life Chicago app for videos, resources, and more!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>\n\t\tINVITE A FRIEND!<br \/>\n\t<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Download and share these invites below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newlifecommunity.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/exploregod-invite_IG-1.png\" alt=\"exploregod-invite_IG 1\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1080\" title=\"exploregod-invite_IG 1\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newlifecommunity.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/exploregod-invite_IG-2.png\" alt=\"exploregod-invite_IG 2\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1080\" title=\"exploregod-invite_IG 2\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newlifecommunity.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/exploregod-invite_IG-3.png\" alt=\"exploregod-invite_IG 3\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1080\" title=\"exploregod-invite_IG 3\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newlifecommunity.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/exploregod-invite_IG-4.png\" alt=\"exploregod-invite_IG 4\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1080\" title=\"exploregod-invite_IG 4\"  \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Session 2: Is There a God?
