JESUS – HIS PASSION AND CRUCIFIXION, April 2nd, 2023

Posted by on Mar 31, 2023 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHTPeace with God through Christ’s sufferings. HYMN: “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” TEXT: Matt. 27:27-54 INTRODUCTION:The word Passion as used in Galatians 5:24 (NAS, NIV) can be defined as strong feeling, intense desire or enthusiasm towards something. It is also referred to as affection and lust of the flesh. Paul in his letter said “those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh and its passion and desires” (NKJV). But when Passion is used in relation to Jesus Christ, it refers to his suffering and death, in which case it is prefixed by the word “The” – The Passion (of Jesus Christ). In the Christian world, the period is referred to as “The Passion Week”. It starts from “Psalm Sunday” when Jesus triumphantly entered into Jerusalem as a king, through to “Good Friday” when He was crucified. In our study, we shall examine some of the agonies and pains experienced by our Lord Jesus during “the Passion Week”. LESSON OBJECTIVES To critically examine Christ’s sufferings. To understand why He needed to go through all the sufferings. To understand how we are to reciprocate the sacrifice of Christ for us. To examine Christ’s seven last statements on the cross. To identify some of the miraculous events that accompanied the...

CENTRAL THOUGHTThose who faithfully do the will of God are blessed by Him. HYMN: When Jesus comes to reward his servants TEXT: John 1:6-8; 15-36; John 3:22-36. INTRODUCTION:As a forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ, John the Baptist carried out his God-given mission creditably with sense of purpose and direction. When he appeared on the scene, He called on the people of Israel to turn to God, announcing that the Messiah was coming soon. He preached fearlessly to the King, soldiers, republicans, teachers of the law and the people, encouraging them to turn away from their sins. Those who repented from their evil ways were baptized unto repentance. He lived a humble life within his means in the wilderness. Worldliness, antics, and gimmicks were not part of his character. He was truthful and straight to the point in his preaching.When the Pharisees asked him who he was, he did not mix words, he said “ I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness make straight the way of the Lord….” John 1:19-23. He refused to usurp Christ’s position and told the Pharisees that his mission was to announce the coming of the Messiah and to prepare the way for Him. He remained focused in his mission till...

STUDY ON JOHN THE BAPTIST (PART ONE), March 19th, 2023

Posted by on Mar 18, 2023 in Sunday School

CENTRAL THOUGHTJohn the Baptist, born as a forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ, lived a fulfilled life. HYMN: Christian seek not yet repose TEXT: JOHN 1:6-8, 15-36; JOHN 3: 22-36; MARK 1:6-8 INTRODUCTION:John the Baptist, a forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ , was given birth to by aged parents who naturally had passed the age of childbearing. The angel who announced his birth to Zechariah, his father, made it clear that he was to be Nazareth- one set apart for God’s service. He grew up being obedient to God and his parents. He lived a solitary life in the desert and ate locusts and wild honey; and wore raiment of camel’s hair (Matt.3:4). Although John the Baptist did not aim at being wealthy, famous or unique, he was determined to be committed and obedient to God and His word. He knew he had a specific role to play in God’s plan of salvation for the world. No wonder, he went about announcing the coming of the Savior with a tireless zeal. This wild-looking man had no power or position in the Jewish political system but he spoke with irresistible authority. The people who listened to him were moved by his words and responded in their hundreds because he...
