In this lesson, we will note three lessons from the life of Samson. Each should become more familiar with Samson's story and be reminded of the truths found in his life. In this sermon, I want to increase awareness of Old Testament events and learn from these stories (Rom.15:4).
To be honest with our families we must understand 1) Why we don’t tell the truth, 2) Why we should tell the truth. I hope that each of our families are open and honest with each other permitting Christ to govern our family life.
We train our brain to remember how to do things again and again. I’m glad I don’t every day have to learn again how to walk, or eat, or drink, or talk, etc. We have learned these things and now know how to do them without thinking.
To be honest with our families we must understand why we don’t tell the truth: 1) Fear of Discovery, 2) Fear of Punishment, 3) Fear of Retaliation, 4) Fear of Rejection, 5) Fear of Change. We want all of our families to be open and honest with each other permitting Christ to govern our family life.
In this lesson, we will study 2 Samuel 22:26-28 noticing God’s response to our attitudes. God is not an idle spectator of our lives but responds to the attitudes that we display as we live life every day. Each person should live their life in the knowledge of God’s presence and response to our lives.
As we study through Psalm 119:161-168 we will note that the blessing of loving God’s word brings 1) Awe, 2) Joy, 3) Hatred of Falsehood, 4) Praise, 5) Peace, 6) Hope, 7) Love, and 8) Faithfulness. I hope that each will understand that loving God’s word brings great personal blessing.
There is a measure of comfort to the foreknowledge of God. It's nice to know that God knows what is happening to me and what is going to happen to me. I can trust that he will take care of every situation in my life. He has the knowledge and the power to so act so as to provide for my entire life. Were such not the case, then what kind of god would we have? One who is unsure of himself and his future. That's not the kind of god that I would desire to worship and serve, would you?
Noah needed to escape from 1) Sin, 2) The Flood, 3) Starvation, and 4) The Ark. From this lesson, each will understand the account of the flood and the lessons we learn from it. Each will understand that God helps His people escape in times of need.
The sunshine in my soul is 1) The Light of Jesus, 2) The Song of Jesus, 3) The Joy of Jesus. Each hearer should reflect on the song and its lyrics as we seek to sing with the spirit and understanding.
Let us not be ashamed 1) To suffer as a Christian, 2) To teach and preach the gospel, 3) To own Jesus as our Lord. Each Christian ought to be more emboldened to act according to God's will, take the gospel message to others, and follow the example of Christ in their life. This lesson is designed to encourage the membership to be zealous in their Christianity.
In this lesson, we will discuss several practical things that we can do to help one another get to heaven. The objective of this lesson is that each would examine his own life to see if there is more that he/she may do to serve the Lord and help one another get to heaven.
In this lesson we want to focus upon some uses of the Old Covenant, namely: 1) It is for our learning, 2) It provides wisdom, 3) It warns us regarding sin, 4) It helps us understand the New Covenant. Each person should understand why we study the Old Covenant. The aim is to help all understand that as Christians, we must study the Old Covenant.
In this lesson, we will look at the identity of God as revealed in scripture. He is 1) The Eternal One, 2) The Creator, 3) The Redeemer. Each should understand who God is in relationship to the creation and our salvation and to impress upon each one the sovereignty and divinity of God.
In this lesson, we will look at five great memorials in the Bible. These memorials help us to remember the great things that God has done. Each should be thankful that God has left us reminders of what He has done for us.
Faithful families create the ideal environment in which to rear children because they will have stability from 1) Parents, 2) the Church, and 3) Morality. God’s ways produce the best results for faithful families.
“April showers / bring May flowers.” This little rhyme is designed to encourage us to remember that just because it may rain one month doesn’t necessarily mean that things can’t be beautiful the next.

In this lesson we want to discuss the danger of ignorance. We will answer the questions: 1) What is Ignorance and its Causes, 2) What are the Consequences of Ignorance, and 3) How can we Change. The hearer should learn that spiritual ignorance is costly and seek to avoid it. This lesson will inform concerning dangers to our spirituality and life.
It matters what we believe because 1) Beliefs Produce Actions, 2) Actions Result in Consequences, 3) Happiness Results. Each should be concerned with believing the right things and understanding how not believing the right things is detrimental to our spiritual welfare.
All the scriptures are profitable for me. However, we don’t appeal to the Old Testament to determine forms of worship, the organization of the church, or the plan of salvation. However, the Old Testament can supply us information on correct attitudes, wisdom, teach us concerning faith, and provide a great deal of background information regarding the New Testament.
