At that time, a community began to publicly acknowledge and honor God by seeking His presence. The concept of the \u201cname of the Lord\u201d in Scripture encompasses much more than a word that identifies God. The name of God encompasses the full measure of His inexhaustible character. To \u201ccall on the name of the Lord\u201d implies seeking God through faith, with a desire to know Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening Music: \u201cIn the Name of the Lord\u201d\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In the name of the Lord\" width=\"668\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1lwR9RxeYOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening Prayer:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heavenly Father, what a privilege and blessing it is to come together each week and imagine how Jesus shared about the kingdom of God in his short time of ministry. Thank you for teaching us how to live a Godly life by using these simple parables to convey spiritual lessons. Open our eyes to see and our ears to hear everything you want us to apply to our circumstances as we read and meditate on your word.\u00a0<br><br>May we examine our hearts and be open and teachable to what you are saying. May the Spirit of Truth illuminate our minds to receive your principles which are typically opposite from the world\u2019s.\u00a0We are so grateful for the Holy Spirit who guides and teaches us. In the power of the Holy Spirit, and in the precious name of Jesus we pray, Amen.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First Day\u00a0Questions 1,2<br><\/strong>3 person\u00a0Breakout Groups\u00a04 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fourth Day <br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>**10\u00a0<\/strong>The disciples came to him and asked, \u201cWhy do you speak to the people in parables?\u201d<strong>\u00a011\u00a0<\/strong>He replied, \u201cBecause the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.<br><br><strong>**13\u00a0<\/strong>This is why I speak to them in parables: \u201cThough seeing, they do not see;
