We Learn God Keeps His Children Secure

Quarterly Objective: The learner will experience learning about people in the Bible who depended upon God for their safety and well-being.

     These lessons have well-known Bible characters as role models. Some very young children will hear of the great heroes of the Bible for the first time. Older children will come to love them more as you present the positive examples of their lives.
      Teaching little children to obey God without questioning will not be difficult. Most of them want to please God and will agree to do what God commands. They do not yet understand, however, what a commitment to Him involves. That will come later. While we want them to follow God, right now their basic need and capability is to believe God loves them and wants them to obey His commands.
      They can learn that God is with them all the time, that He provides their needs and that He will help them do things that seem difficult. He is their comforter and provider. He will bless them as they accept His will and plan for them.

Young Teen Sunday School
(Grades 7-9)

Bible Heroes
    Young teens are looking for real heroes. Satan and the world system with the help of Hollywood and the media are always ready to offer their pseudo-heroes for young people to imitate. These fake heroes are as phony as the characters they portray on the screen. To find real heroes, young teens need to look no further than the pages of the Bible. This quarter, students will examine the lives of thirteen Bible characters who, because of their strong faith in God, qualify to be called heroes. Young teens should receive encouragement from these lessons to pattern their lives after men and women whose conduct exemplified what living by faith means.

Making My Choices—
A Life Governed by the Holy Spirit
We begin a study about making choices. We will be looking at good choices and bad choices and learning how to make our choices within the will of God. God has given each of us the power of choice. Perhaps other creatures have this power to a limited extent, but mankind has it supremely. This ability, as much as any other, sets us apart from all other beings. Choice is the essence of intelligence and wisdom. It is the determiner for our future. What we are today is the product of the choices we have made in the past, and our future will depend on the choices we make today.
The really sobering point here is that we must live with the choices we make. We all enjoy reaping the benefits of wise choices, but we must also live with the consequences of foolish choices. Often these consequences will involve others who themselves had no part in our particular choices.
As you study these Bible lessons about making choices, take a look at your own life and the choices you are making. Will they get you where you want to go? We will see many Bible characters who made choices, some of them good and some of them bad. Evaluate these examples and consider how your choices can change you and the world around you.

Fullness of Joy
A Study in 1, 2, 3 John and Jude
      On His way from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane, as He walked and talked to His disciples, Jesus said, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full” (John 15:11). The subject of Christ’s teaching at that time was obedience to His commands. He taught them that obedience would result in the disciples abiding in His love which would be accompanied by the fullness of joy in their lives. It is instructive that, on the eve of Golgotha, mere hours before His sacrificial death, Jesus was concerned that His disciples experience complete joy. If our Lord Jesus thought that His early followers should live joy-filled lives, is it not reasonable that He would have believers live joyful lives today?
      Our Adult Sunday School study for fall, 2009, will be the Epistles of First, Second, Third John, and Jude. The title for our study, Fullness of Joy, is based on one of John’s themes revealed in 1 John 1:4, “And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” One purpose for which John wrote the first epistle was so that his readers could possess fullness of joy.
      As you read the titles of the lessons, you will notice the theme. To have fullness of joy one needs to fellowship with God, walk with God, heed God’s warnings, behave as God’s children, love the brethren, discern the spirits, practice brotherly love, confirm personal salvation, obey the Word, live in truth, be hospitable, beware of false teachers, and avoid false teaching. As the Christian follows these admonitions revealed in First, Second, Third John, and Jude, he or she will have fullness of joy.
      It is our hope that every Sunday School student will truly enjoy and profit from this study. Sometimes we must cover scores of chapters in thirteen weeks to keep our ten-year-through-the-Bible schedule. But during this fall quarter, the teacher and student alike are urged to take time and dive deeply into the simple, yet, profound truths of these eight chapters of God’s holy Word.
