We praise the Maker of our mothers because He made our mothers to be 1) Kind, 2) Compassionate, and 3) Caring. Each listener should be able to understand why God made mothers and the importance of their role within the home.
In this lesson, we will look at what it means to be a friend of God. One is God's friend when he 1) Loves God with all his heart, soul, and mind, 2) Does what God wants him to do simply because God has asked us to do it, 3) Tells others about what a great friend God is. Each hearer should be able to understand what it takes to be a friend of God. I want everyone to be motivated to make God their friend.
Graham said that some people are just born Christians, no conversion necessary.

Justice for the Earth entails: 1) Common Justice, 2) Cry for Justice, 3) Coming Justice. Each listener should understand that justice in the earth now is incomplete, but not final. One day God’s justice will be finished through Christ Jesus.
We want to do a study of Luke 14:15-24. From this passage we learn about God's 1) Invitation, 2) Expectations, 3) Anger, and 4) Love in relationship to the proud and humble. God rejects the proud but exalts the humble.
God has supplied for us His word with all the things in it that we need to believe and know saving truth. When we know and believe these God-given truths, then we have faith in our life. So, we develop our own personal faith from hearing God's word, understanding it, believing it, and applying it. In that way, God is responsible for our faith because it is only through his word that we can have that faith; at the same time, we are responsible for accepting God's message and believing it.
Man's unique position in relationship to God affords him special status regarding his life; neither beast nor other men may so take man's life except they forfeit their own for their crime. This is not to say that the one who deserves such punishment cannot be punished by other men. Certainly, if God commanded men to kill the one who murders, then men may so carry out God's command without offense to God.
We can’t save ourselves because 1) just one sin separates us from God, 2) sin distorts our efforts to do good, 3) the good works we do are not sufficient to save us. The listener should understand that only by trusting in Christ Jesus can we be saved.

The Bible doesn’t give us a complete picture of moment by moment transactions after we die. However, the Bible does give us some snapshots of what happens after death. There are several passages in the Bible that give us some fleeting glances as to what transpires. Let’s look at a few of them.
Human intelligence cannot prevent death; we’re not smart enough, and never will be (Hebrews 9:27)
In this lesson, we will look at the Bible’s teaching that sinful humans put Jesus on the cross. The hearer of this lesson should understand that Jesus went to the cross for all sinful humans and that therefore all sinful humans put him there.
In this lesson we learn that near the cross we find 1) Healing, 2) Heaven, and 3) Help. As an objective of this lesson, the listener will be able to understand scripturally the song “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross.”
