This will explain who believers are in Christ; how He knew and chose thembefore the foundation of the world, how He authored and will finish thework He started in them, their relationship to God as His adopted children,etc.
The power of forgiveness is detailed in this lesson in terms of receiving it from Jesus and the need to minister it to others. This teaching will examine God’s absolution of our sins; how He chooses to forget our trespasses against Him because of His great love for us. It also will specify how He expects us to extend the same grace to people in ourlives who offend us.
This teaching explains why it is important for believers to remain consistent in their church, Bible study and other forms of interaction with their fellow believers.Explains the need to fellowship with God on a daily basis (vertical fellowship); also state how we should separate ourselves from unbelievers horizontal fellowship). We need to run to God and other believers in times if trouble, instead of unbelievers.
This teaching will explain God’s (not man’s) intended family structure andthe role of each individual in keeping it sanctified and free from strife.We’ll discuss the similarities between familial relationships and ourrelationship with Jesus and how each member (the husband especially!!!)should respect and look out for the needs of the others. We’ll also seeGod’s command for men to support their families (financially, spirituallyand emotionally), discuss how this is destroying our society today, and showwhy it is important to discipline our children properly (with tough love attimes, but without abuse). *** Note *** If the church would like, I have an11-page writing called “War on the Family” that God inspired me to writewhich includes scriptural references that can also be copied and distributedfor use in this class and other uses.
Scriptures explaining the importance of faith in God in a believer's life. This lesson takes students through the “faith” chapter of the Bible, Hebrews 11. Demonstrates to students how it motivates God to answer their prayers and give examples of Abraham and others who persevered during trials and were blessed through their faith. Show them how doubting brings in fear, destroys your faith and cripples your walk (look at book of James, etc.).
