In this lesson, we will look at four blessings of salvation 1) Remission of Sin, 2) Refreshing from the Lord, 3) Restoration of Fellowship, 4) Rejoicing in Heaven. The objective of this lesson is for the hearer to better understand and appreciate the spiritual blessings we have in Christ. In understanding our blessings, we should be motivated to live responsibly.
To obey the command to repent we must 1) Believe God’s Analysis of Our Condition, 2) Change Our Mind and Attitude, 3) Change our Behavior. Each member should be able to explain what this command means and how to perform it. My aim in this lesson is to encourage in the heart of each person the desire to live a life of repentance.
I will approach this as a Bible question: What does the Bible say about the rightful owner of the state of Israel? Many in the religious world today declare that God unconditionally gave the land of Canaan to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel in perpetuity. They argue that God promised it to their descendants forever.
What would have happened had individuals moped around looking depressed and upset at such news?
We enter God's gates with thanksgiving because 1) thanksgiving is the only appropriate response for what God has done for us, 2) thanksgiving brings about a change of attitude in our lives, 3) thanksgiving spurs us into action for the welfare and benefit of others. The hearer should be able to state why he ought to have a heart of thanksgiving and how that relates to Christian living.
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.
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.
I hope to instruct as to God’s general expectation pertaining to man’s motivations and abilities in offering to Him. This is so that we will have a meek attitude in stewardship and service.
The LORD is Righteous 1) in His Commandments, 2) in Conduct, 3) Continually. Each hearer will understand that the word of God is righteous because God is righteous.
To be a child of God is to have the blessing of: 1) Forgiveness, 2) Family 3) A Father 4) Felicity. Each should be encouraged in knowing that they are children of God. I hope to use fatherhood as an illustration of what it means to be a child of God.
In this study, we will look at different kinds of risks that Christians must take to be Christians. There is the risk of 1) Leaving the ones we love, 2) financial loss, 3) our life and health, 4) public rejection and failure. Each Christian should know what kind of risks he or she faces each day in living the Christian life and be prepared to handle those risks understanding that while there may be "risks" while we are upon the earth, the outcome is guaranteed. I want to spur the brethren on toward taking more risks in these areas because the greater risk one takes the greater reward that is associated with the risk.
We will study Psalm 119:89-96: God is faithful to save His saints because 1) He is Dependable, 2) His Saints Delight in His Word, and 3) He Delivers from the Enemy. We study to gain more familiarity with Psalm 119 and the wonderful word of God and to understand how God saves His saints through His faithfulness and theirs.
To have the right attitude in prayer we must ask in 1) Faith, 2) Thanksgiving, 3) Constancy. Each person should understand these prerequisites to prayer and why they are prerequisites. The aim of this lesson is to stir up remembrance, exhort, and encourage all to pray more fervently, more thankfully, and constantly.

Why should I be involved in personal evangelism? 1) Love 2) Thankfulness 3) Joy. Each should understand these motives for personal evangelism. The aim of this sermon is to motivate the brethren to get involved in personal evangelism.
In this lesson we will learn that the life is in the blood as we compare the functions of blood with the functions of the blood of Christ: Blood 1) replenishes, 2) removes, 3) repairs, and 4) regulates. Each listener should recognize the function of the blood of Christ as it gives life to the body.
Satan does not want people to have hope, and that means that hope is a powerful tool of God for good. God is the God of hope (Romans 15:13).
