 Check within 1 hour (at the end of the lesson)  24 hrs later (the next lesson or day)  1 week later (long term memory)  Month then 6 months

Volunteer for interrogation Do you feel as if you know this person better than before For today - What do Christians believe about God – is it possible to know God in a similar way to how we know each other?

 Listen to the song – pay attention to the things she is wondering about God What questions is she asking? Does this help to build up a better picture about what God maybe like? Would it have been more helpful to have questions and answers Is she asking good questions about God? To what extent Is it possible to answer those questions about God? In groups answer the questions posed by the song…discuss

 Is God pleased with humanity?  What is God’s financial status?  Who would God vote for in an election?  Does God know the difference between right and wrong?  Would God break the law by driving a car without insurance?  Is God interesting or dull?  Is God a racist?  Would God break the law by not paying his taxes in full?  Is God a people person?  Would God break the law by taking illegal recreational drugs? Lily Allen’s questions to God

 John 3:  Matthew 6:  Romans 13: 1-7  John 12:  Galatians 3:  Colossians 3: 11  Matthew 22;  Revelation 21: 3-4  Psalms 9: 7-10  Jeremiah 17 :9-10 Do these shed any light on any of the previous questions? (What is God like) What do you think the purpose of the song is? (Conflict on earth).

 Christians believe that it is possible to know what God is like, because they believe in a God who reveals His personality and character.  Christians believe that He does this through nature, revelation and by becoming human himself in the person of Jesus.

 Write a paragraph from a Christian’s point of view explaining their beliefs about God’s Nature and Character.
