HYMM: S.S & S. 642 “When we walk with the Lord” CENTRAL THOUGHTService to God and mankind is a great privilege. TEXT: LUKE 1:5-25INTRODUCTION:Zachariah, a Jewish priest in his days, was privileged to be chosen one day as the “minister on duty” to enter the Holy place of the temple to offer incense to God for the people. God guided the choice of Zachariah to bring His purpose to pass. Bible records that both Zachariah and his wife Elizabeth were righteous before God. There were blameless in keeping God’s commandments and ordinances, yet they had the challenge of childlessness. The challenge notwithstanding, Zachariah and his wife continues to serve God faithfully. It was while Zachariah was serving in the temple and the congregation worshipping and praying outside that an angel of God brought the news of God’s answer to prayers. At the right time, God answered the prayers of the couple. They gave birth to John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus Christ. We have lessons to learn on the records of this man and his wife as we serve in the house of God. LESSON OBJECTIVES To describe the person Zachariah Explain his being “minister on duty” Discuss the encounter with an angel of the Lord...

CENTRAL THOUGHT Unwavering faith in GOD brings the desired results. TEXT: DANIEL 3:1-30 INTRODUCTION:Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were companions with Daniel. The three young Jewish men were deported to Babylon along with Daniel. In Babylon’s religious culture, statues were commonly erected and worshipped. Nebuchadnezzar, perhaps in an attempt to unite the nation and solidify his power by centralizing worship, made a gold statue ninety feet tall and nine feet wide. He called his officials together and commanded that at the sound of the horn, flute, harp and other musical instruments, people of all races, nations and languages should bow to the golden image. This was a great challenge to the faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. A great conflict: to obey man or God. In this study we shall see what their choice was, what they passed through, the king’s decrees and repentance, the secret of their success and their reward. LESSON OBJECTIVES To examine the circumstances that brought the three Hebrew children to the kings court. To discuss the three Hebrew children’s refusal to bow down to the golden image. To appreciate that God’s commandment is superior to man’s decree/law. BIBLE TRUTH QUESTION 1.) WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT BROUGHT THE THREE HEBREW CHILDREN TO THE BABYLONIAN COURT?...

CENTRAL THOUGHTParents have the primary responsibility to build up the lives of their children. TEXT: PS. 78:1-7, 127:1-5 INTRODUCTION: Any child who is well trained will bring honor to the parents. We cannot expect a child who is denied any form of education throughout his life to become a renowned personality. Training develops the skill in any human being. This is why the scripture enjoins that a child should be trained in the way he should go. Every Christian parent who has found the way to eternal life should not withhold the knowledge of how to tread on this path from the children.Parents can only give out what they have. Parents should meditate on the word of God day and night so that they can have good successes even in the building up of their children’s lives (Josh 1:8). Think good, talk good, and act well so that you can give out that which is good (Phil. 4:8).In this study, we shall be discussing how and what to teach our children to make them acceptable to God and succor us in our old age. LESSON OBJECTIVESThe objectives of this study are to: Understand how to prepare out children for the future Know what to teach our children Appreciate the...
