JESUS SAID
Lessons on the Sermon on the Mount

Quarterly Objective: Young teens will recognize the power in the words of Jesus and apply them to their lives.

“Jesus Said—Lessons on the Sermon on the Mount” is this quarter’s theme. The object of this quarter’s study is to help young teens recognize the power in the words of Jesus and to suggest ways young people can apply them to their lives. Students will examine how the words of Jesus spoken two thousand years ago apply to situations faced by teens in the twenty-first century.

What did Jesus mean when He said, “Ye are the salt of the earth”? How can young Christians let their lights shine before men? How would Jesus have us to pray? These are just some of the lessons in this quarter that should help young Christians deal with a number of situations and problems—internal and external—that they will face throughout their lives.

APPLIED CHRISIANITY—
Studies in James

Before we begin our study of the practical aspects of Christianity taught in the Book of James, we need to take a close look at the man God used to write this book. Most people who study the New Testament know something about the apostles. Many are familiar with the personal lives of two apostles, Peter and Paul. Much has been written about the personal lives of both these men. But much less is known about the man named James.

The name James is used forty-two times in thirty-eight verses in the Bible. There are at least five different people in the Bible named James. It would be interesting to see what we can learn about each of them, but the life of the man who wrote this book can offer us some great lessons about our own lives.

As we study the life of James, we will see how he applied many of the lessons God gave him in his own personal life. We will also learn some things about the process of inspiration.

The Restoring Hand of God
A Study in Ezra; Nehemiah; Habakkuk; Haggai; Malachi; Esther

Adult Sunday School lessons for Spring, 2009, will explore the subject of The Restoring Hand of God. The Quarterly Aim is “The student will learn how God protected and restored the people of Israel and that He will keep His promises to His people today.” During this fourteen lesson quarter, we will study three historical books: Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther; and two post-exilic prophetical books: Haggai and Malachi. The study will follow the timeline or chronological order of events.

Ezra and Nehemiah show the fulfillment of God’s promise to gather and restore the scattered people of God and place them back in their land, the Promised Land. For seventy years, following Babylon’s defeat of Jerusalem, Judah had been confined in Chaldea while Israel was bound in Assyrian captivity. Ezra recorded the inspired history of the first exiles to return to Judah under Zerubbabel. Several decades later Ezra led the second wave of exiles returning to Jerusalem. Over forty thousand Jews would eventually return to their promised homeland during those years. Another prominent figure during this time was God’s prophet, Haggai. This great spokesman for God rebuked and encouraged those who had returned to establish the nation to be willing to sacrifice and rebuild the house of God. Nehemiah was a contemporary of Ezra and led a third wave of Jews from Susa, capital of Persia, to Jerusalem. Nehemiah held a prominent position under King Artaxerxes, but was so moved by God that he gave it up to travel to Jerusalem and lead in rebuilding the wall.

The events recorded in the book of Esther took place after the dispersed people of Israel began to return to Palestine. As we study Esther we will see God’s hand of providence and protection. Most people are familiar with Queen Esther, her cousin, Mordecai, wicked Haman, and King Ahasuerus, who ruled from the Persian capital of Susa. Though the name of God is not mentioned in Esther, His providential hand of preservation for His people could not be more evident.

Finally, we will study the prophecies of Malachi. His ministry probably took place during the events recorded in the latter part of Nehemiah, perhaps during the time Nehemiah was gone from Jerusalem to visit King Artaxerxes, in Babylon. Malachi exposed the sins of the people of Israel that brought them judgment and then encouraged them with solutions that exalt God.
