Ministries Highlights

Lessons for Second Quarter 2013

  • Adults. Jesus, Our Example invites us to learn from the most perfect life ever lived on this earth. Each lesson selects a different area of Jesus’ life from which we can learn to pattern our own lives.

  • Senior youth. The 13 lessons in Genuine Christianity are based on the power-packed letters written by James, Peter, John, and Jude. These Holy Spirit-inspired messages offer wise counsel that helps youth live as successful Christians every day.

  • Junior high youth. The Church Begins provides challenging studies about the origin and expansion of the Christian church. The disciples faithfully remained in Jerusalem until they were empowered by the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost to boldly preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. The church grew rapidly, resulting in persecution and the first martyr, followed by the dispersion of many believers, spreading the gospel wherever they went.

  • Intermediate (grades 4, 5, and 6). The Armor of God is the title for this quarter. The first four lessons discuss why Jesus had to die for us and why we need to repent, and they review Jesus’ sacrifice and His resurrection to live forever. The next eight lessons teach how a young Christian must be fortified against the enemies of Jesus, and they discuss the benefits of the various parts of the armor of God. The last lesson emphasizes the need for courage and perseverance, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to grow in Christ.

  • Primary (grades 1, 2, and 3). Blessing – God Blessing Us and Using Us to Bless Others focuses on the stories in Genesis and Exodus, continuing where last quarter left off, from Joseph in Egypt to the Israelites building the tabernacle in the wilderness. The emphasis this quarter throughout all these Bible stories is “blessing.” Students will learn about the many blessings God offers to each of them. Most importantly, they will come to understand that the greatest blessing God has given us is Jesus and that through Him we can now enjoy the blessing of God’s very presence.
