UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, December 24, 2023

CENTRAL THOUGHTThe celebration of the birth of Christ, should be a time of sober reflections, re-dedicating our lives for more services unto God. TEXT: MATT. 1:18-25; MATT. 2:1-23; LUKE 2:1-20INTRODUCTION:The birth of Jesus Christ was so important that Prophets in the Old Testament prophesied about the way and manner of His birth, (Isa. 7:14; Micah 5:2). God the Father, in confirming the prophesies, sent forth angel Gabriel in the New Testament to the earthly “parents” of Jesus Christ (Joseph and Mary) (Matt. 1:18-25).The birth of Christ was for the purpose of saving the sinful man. Before the birth of Christ, man, due to his fall from grace in the garden of Eden (Gen. 3), was in total bondage in the hands of the devil. For the purpose of deliverance, restoration, and salvation, Jesus was born (John 3:16-18). Many today have divers’ definition for Christmas: to some, it is a time to acquire new and latest design of clothes, for others it’s a time of merry making. Jesus is the reason for the season (Christmas). It should be a period of sober reflection of the newness of life that the birth of Jesus brings and his amazing grace.

COME BEFORE HIS PRESENSE WITH THANKSGIVING, December 17, 2023

Posted by on Dec 24, 2023 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHTThanksgiving in an acclamation that we recognize the grace of God, and are grateful to Him. HYMN: “Blessed Assurance”. TEXT: GEN 4:2-7; PSALM 95:1-7; LUKE 17:11-19 INTRODUCTION:Thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude for favor received. It involves a grateful thought, expressed verbally or by action in relation to an occurrence. It is a testimony to the benevolence of a person or an authority, intended to lubricate the wheel of good relationship and to promote further acts of favor. Absence of thanksgiving can dampen the enthusiasm of the benevolent.Giving thanks unto God is an integral part of our relationship with our God and Maker. All the patriarchs of old and heroes of faith had this understanding and they never played with it. The Bible is an embodiment of a rich culture of thanksgiving as part of the worship of God. Be that as it may, it is sad to note that this subject has also been greatly abused today. This study is the enlighten believers on the scriptural standards expected in thanksgiving. LESSON OBJECTIVES:This lesson will: Explain what it means to come before God with thanksgiving. Establish why and when we thank God. Discuss how we should thank God. Enumerate some abuses to thanksgiving today. List the benefits of...

CENTRAL THOUGHTGodliness with contentment is great gain. HYMN: “I need Thee every hour” TEXT: Mark 10:17-31 INTRODUCTION:A rich and zealous young man came to Jesus to inquire about the ways of the kingdom of God. With apparent humility and seemingly religious fervency, he engaged the Lord Jesus in a conversation about the requirements for eternal life. Jesus loved him and told him the whole truth, but he became offended, and left sorrowfully.Though he was wealthy and kept the basic commandment of Moses, he felt his future was still bleak as far as eternal life was concerned. He came with a mindset that had a limit on what he was willing to entertain from the ‘good master’. He decided to opt for his wealth instead of eternal life.Fulfillment in life means different things to different people, depending on one’s understanding of the purpose of life. LESSON OBJECTIVES:The objectives of this lesson are: Discuss the attitude of the rich young man to his wealth; Identify some things in life that can possibly compete with our love for God; Examine the ideal Christian attitude towards wealth; Identify the rewards in serving God; and List the hallmarks of a fulfilled Christian life.

LESSONS FROM THE EPISTLE OF JUDE, December 3rd, 2023

Posted by on Dec 2, 2023 in Sunday School

HYMN: “Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!” CENTRAL THOUGHTContend earnestly for the faith. TEXT: JUDE 1-25 INTRODUCTION:The epistle of Jude was written to warn all those “who have been called by God the Father” about the activities of ungodly men who had wormed their way into the churches, teaching that God’s marvelous grace permits Christians to live immoral lives. Jude set out to appeal to the Christians to reject this firmly and hold on tightly to the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that was delivered to them. This is even worse in our time and the need to stand firm is more urgent. We look up to the Lord to teach us eternal lessons from this study. LESSON OBJECTIVES: To understand who Jude was. Examine why the epistle of Jude was written. Understand the characteristics of the ungodly men that Jude is warning the Church about. Understand how we should contend for the faith. Understand some specific things we must do daily to avoid the influence of ungodly people who may be in the church. BIBLE TRUTH: QUESTION 1.) WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE WAY JUDE INTRODUCED HIMSELF?JUDE 1, JAMES 1:1; ROMANS 1:1Jude introduces himself simply and had no grandiose ideas about himself. The introduction captures his...

MOSES: THE LORD’S SERVANT PT. IV, November 26th, 2023

Posted by on Nov 26, 2023 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHTGod requires absolute obedience to His instructions. HYMN: “I am Thine, O Lord…”. TEXT: Numbers 20:1-13 INTRODUCTION:In Moses, we see a man described as the meekest man on Earth, who in the course of his walk with God, manifested his weak point at a time when God expected greater commitment from him. Moses was not a perfect man and God did not change who Moses was (i.e a man slow of speech), He did not give Moses new abilities and strength. Rather, he took Moses’ characteristics and remolded them until they suited His purpose. God found Moses a man good enough to discuss face to face with. However, this did not stop God from unfolding his anger when Moses faltered. So, we should not take God for granted, or feel that we have become too familiar with God that we cannot undermine His instructions.As we conclude our series of study on the life of Moses, a great servant of God, we shall focus on his strength and weakness demonstrated in the course of his walk with God. LESSON OBJECTIVES:This study aims at helping us:a. Identify the core quality of Moses and the costly mistake he made.b. Identify and examine the challenge/ obstacle faced by the children of Israel...
