Half Truths Youth Leader Guide

God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say

They are simple phrases. They sound Christian—like something you might find in the Bible. We’ve all heard these words. Maybe we’ve said them. They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways.

Join Adam Hamilton in this 5-week Bible study to search for the whole truth by comparing common Christian clichés with the wisdom found in Scripture. The clichés include:

• Everything happens for a reason.
• God helps those who help themselves.
• God won’t give you more than you can handle.
• God said it, I believe it, that settles it.
• Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Contains everything needed to conduct a 5-session study, including discussion questions, activities, and suggestions for organizing and facilitating a group. Can be used with the adult-level DVD.
