THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE!
We're back with more of your questions you'd pray over and we're
answering them for you. Last week, The Food Fighters took a spot for the
playoffs and we got 3 more teams set to know God's word from the first
to the last word and they are:
Georgia Grace Girls
Atlanta, GA
Charity: Hope Center, a charity that provided
Samantha with a free sonogram
Team Members: Samantha Jesse (waitress); Samantha’s
mom, Mae Lynn Biggs (nanny); Lesley Hill (event
planner). This is a feisty group of women who love
God and have each found their faith tested. Mae Lynn
helped her daughter Samantha with her pregnancy in
college and Mae Lynn’s best friend, Lesley, provides
support to the family and is a sympathetic shoulder
whenever they need it. |
Team Victorious Secret
Atlanta, GA
Charity: Masters Commission Atlanta, a faith-based
leadership training program for recent high school
graduates
Team Members: Adam Hulme (teacher); Bethany Shay
(executive assistant); Jordan Marcon (school
director). These longtime friends met through their
work at the non-profit Masters Commission. Both Adam
and Bethany had their faith strengthened during
serious health crises; Jordan found his faith after
a troubled high school career, when he joined
Masters Commission. |
The Firefighters
Los Angeles
Charity: The Saint Baldrick’s Foundation, a
volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the
most promising research to find cures for childhood
cancers
Team Members: Eric Nagao (firefighter); Ryan Shook
(firefighter); Frank Evaro (firefighter). After
spending countless hours with one another, this
group of firefighters has grown very close; they
share a passion for competition and for their faith.
Being in such a dangerous occupation, they have to
rely on their faith quite often. They frequently
gather after a long day of work to reflect and pray
together. |
Put away that Xbox, shut off your iPods,
lock the doors and get ready!
LET THE CHALLENGE COMMENCE!!!!
Let's start with an appetizer we like to call...
JESUS PICKED UP THE TAB
It's all about the Last Supper and 10 points are up for grabs, so order
up and let's munch on the first question:
Jesus predicts that Peter will deny him when what happens? The Girls
wake up with rooster crowing three times. We are on our way.
In Luke 22, the apostles would be arguing over what? Who is the
greatest. And Great Scott, it's 2 in a row for them girls.
Finally, what did Jesus wash for his disciples? The Secret run with feet
as a correct answer.
Round over and the choir will sing for their supper after they pick up
the checks so that we could get another appetizer which is....
BIBLICAL GREETING CARDS
What happens when you go to Hallmark and find these? Well, in this
25-point quizzer, we find out.
Our first card creates sympathy by turning into salt, and the Secret
spice things up with Lot. Right for them!
Here comes the new bride, and according to Genesis 29, that belongs to
Jacob. Ringer for the Secret, 2 in a row.
Aww, congrats on both blessings according to Zachariah, and
unfortunately, it belongs to Elizabeth. The Girls score again.
Finally, one card gives props for not killing somebody when invading a
city. The Girls play Space Invaders with a 2-for-2 with Rahab.
Round over, and the firefighters are getting close to being burned. The
main course we go to is....
SET PHASERS TO BLESS
We will throw out a name that begins with the letter "Z" as in zebra or
Zelda and you tell us if it refers to God's word or Captain's log. Let's
beam us up, Scotty!
The firefighters get Ryan to the backseat and we get this name:
ZELEK
They say it's Captain's log and they're zapped. It's actually the word
of God. The secret have this....
ZADOK
They answer with God's word and it's right. Lastly, Mae for the grace
girls is sent to the booster seat and we have this...
ZEK
They have Captain's log, and it's a 50 point score. After that, it's the
girls 120, the Secret 110 and the firefighters in goose egg central.
Maybe this next round could change. It's called....
LYRICAL MIRACLES
We listen to the choir sing Amazing Grace and we get questions behind
the song. For the firefighters, they want to know in the parable of the
lost sheep, what did the Shepard carry on? They finally get the monkey
off their backs with shoulders.
For the girls, Jesus tells somebody to wash his eyes where? They say
Bethesda, but Mae has the answer since she's out for one round. It's
Siloam.
The Secret close out with this: according to a bible verse, it's by
grace that saves through what? They gotta have faith like George Michael
or Limp Bizkit and they're right. After that, it's the girls with 120,
the secret with 160 and the firefighters with 50. After a choir break,
we have the dessert called....
THE CHOSEN THREE
after this, the team with the lowest score will split the charitable
check for $2500. The secret want to know in Acts 2, they want to know
the 3 peoples mentioned speaking in tongues according to the Pentecost.
Romans
Ethiopians
Egyptians
Persians
Babylonians
Arabs
They answer with Romans, but make 2 mistakes. 100 for them, but the
other 2 were Egyptians and Arabs.
The firefighters go next. A comeback is in their future if they want to
know according to Proverbs, the 3 creatures that are small, but
extremely wise.
Ants
Hedgehogs
Opossums
Dogs
Lizards
Locusts
They get lizards and locusts, but do ants march them back in the race?
YES! The comeback express has begun. The girls have this query to
ponder: Name the 3 people who spent time in Egypt.
Jesus
Jacob
Jeroboam
Nicodemus
Adam
Lazarus
Mae pulls a Miranda Sings with....Jesus, Jacob and jeroboam. HAT TRICK!
That sends the secret drowned out by Miranda Sings serenades with $2500.
The final Bible Study Showdown has cranked to 11. Your subject is:
PETER, PAUL & MARY
This isn't going to be a folk hootenanny, it's going to be a battle of
the Christian bands, and by the grace of God, $20K will be in their
hands, so let the choir be the headliners of the event with the notable
absence of Laura Karpman and the Bloodrayne vampires.
Alright, let's rock. The firefighters go first, they get….......6. All
they need is 7 to win for the girls.....and they do! The Georgia Grace
Girls get the win! As fit the firefighters, the comeback express is
derailed with nothing but $5000 for their charity.
Time to tab out and collect the tips. This is Pierre Kelly saying....
THOU SHALT SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!
