The Marriage of the Lamb, September 4th , 2022

Posted by on Sep 3, 2022 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHT Keeping our garments spotless before God guarantees our participation in the marriage feast of the Lamb. HYMN: WHEN THE TRUMPMET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND. TEXT: Revelation 19:1-10; Matthew 25:1-13. INTRODUCTION The Church comprises a people who have been called out from the life of sin and the influence of the kingdom of darkness, into a life of righteousness and the kingdom of the Son of God. To restore the original plan of God for humanity which is that man should have unbroken fellowship with God. This marriage of the Lamb establishes this unbroken fellowship since the church shall by the marriage be in an eternal union with Christ. The marriage supper of the Lamb is thus, an event at which all believers of all ages, races, languages, and in all continents will be joined in marriage to Christ who is the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. With the marriage of the Lamb at which only those whose garments (hearts) are washed by the blood of Jesus will be allowed to participate thereof. There is the need for believers who want to be a part of the marriage supper of the Lamb to ensure that their lives are kept pure and in...

Preparing for His Coming, Part 4: Judgement, August 28th , 2022

Posted by on Aug 27, 2022 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHT …it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement. HYMN: WHEN THE TRUMPMET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND. TEXT: John 5:22-30; 1 Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:11-15 INTRODUCTION It does not appear popular anymore to talk of a “judgement day” in the future, in which the entire world will be judged by God. People tend not to believe that one day; they must render account to God for their time here on earth. The lifestyle displayed by many today does not suggest that they are expecting that a day of reckoning will dawn sometime in the future. This attitude is ironical because in day-to-day life, people are usually expected to render account for one thing or the other. For example, at the end of a school term or semester, students write examinations which are used to judge their performance. Men ought to expect too that at the end of life on earth, God will ask them to give an account of how they had lived on the earth. However, the Bible states emphatically that judgement is inevitable and awaits all, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement”, Hebrews 9:27. It therefore makes sense to be prepared for the...

PREPARING FOR HIS COMING, PART 3 : CONSEQUENCES OF MISSING THE RAPTURE, August 21ST , 2022

Posted by on Aug 20, 2022 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHT Every believer should be ready for the rapture. HYMN: WHEN THE TRUMPMET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND. TEXT: Matthew 24:21-24; Romans 11:25-31 INTRODUCTION The coming of the LORD is a biblical fact. The rapture, which will occur first, is the coming in the air; when the saints meet the Lord in the air, takes them back to heaven with Him, presents them to the Father where they remain during the time the tribulation is running its course on the earth, 1 Thessalonians 3:13; John 14:1-3. The marriage super and the judgement of the saints take place in heaven. The rapture is different from the second advent of the LORD. At the second advent, after the tribulation, the LORD and the saints leave heaven together to come down to the earth, 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 19. Therefore, the rapture is the time the LORD comes for the saints to take them to heaven while the second advent is the time He comes from heaven with the saints to the earth to live here and fulfil a mission. After the rapture while the saints will be with the LORD in heaven, there will be untold woes going on in the earth for unbelievers and “believers” that missed the rapture....

PREPARING FOR HIS COMING, PART 2: THE CATCHING UP OF THE SAINTS, August 14TH , 2022

Posted by on Aug 13, 2022 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHT Every believer should prepare for the catching-up. HYMN: WHEN THE TRUMPMET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND. TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18, 5:1-11; 1 CORINTHIANS 15:50-55; 1 JOHN 3:2-3 INTRODUCTION We continue our series of study on “preparing for His coming”, as we consider an event popularly called the “Rapture”. The word rapture is not used in the Bible but it means the “catching up” of the saints, both dead and alive, to meet the Lord in the air. The certainty of the resurrection of the Christian rests on the fact that Christ Himself rose from the dead, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23. The scriptures nowhere enjoin us to attempt to calculate the date, month, or year as some have done in the past and exposed themselves to ridicule. The prospect of the rapture teaches us that it is not important whether Christ meets us dead or alive physically. What matters is that we remain faithful to the end. There are only two options for the faithful: we are either both changed and caught up in the air if we are still alive or we will be raised imperishable, if we were dead. We must daily look forward to his coming and be prepared as the consequences of missing the rapture...

PREPARING FOR HIS COMING, PART 1: SIGNS OF THE END TIMES, August 7TH , 2022

Posted by on Aug 6, 2022 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHT The coming of the Lord is at hand! HYMN: WHEN THE TRUMPMET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND. TEXT: Matthew 24:3-51; 2 Timothy 3:1-5, 4:3-4; 1 Peter 4:7 INTRODUCTION At the fall of man, God promised that the “seed of the woman” will crush the head of Satan. With time, the prophets gave more details about the first coming of Jesus Christ, Isaiah 53:1-12. However, at the time the promise was fulfilled, the religious order of the day was caught at unawares. Their expectation of the Messiah was blurred by personal bias, opinions and the political state of Israel. They expected a political deliverer. God may not have told them exactly when Christ would come but the circumstances of His birth, life, ministry and death were clearly spelled out but “…and the world knew him not.”, John 1:10b. Jesus is coming soon. Again, the events that will signal His second coming and the end of the age are clearly taught in scriptures. We must be prepared, lest we should be taken unawares. “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a...
