Half Truths Youth Leader Guide
God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say
Published April 2016
Join Adam Hamilton in Exploring Popular Sayings that Miss the Point
They are simple phrases. They sound Christian—like something youmight 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.
