      WHAT'S IN STORE THIS QUARTER

      This quarter, we explore the fullness of faith as a response to God’s desire to be in relationship with us. To be faith–less is to turn away from God—to put trust in something, or someone, other than God. The lessons of this quarter ask: Is your faith steadfast? Are you contending for the faith? In Old and New Testaments, there are as many examples of spiritual fidelity as there are examples of spiritual infidelity. What can today’s Christians draw from these ancient accounts that will help us grow more deeply in faith? The lessons of this quarter guide the learner to a reaffirmation of their confidence in God, because without faith it is impossible to please God. Looks at expressions of Christian hope both in this present age and in the glorious future God is preparing for us.

      UNIT I— THE MEASURE OF FAITH

      This unit has four lessons drawn from Luke and Matthew to discuss the range of Christian faith. Luke cites four friends who went through various obstacles to get their sick friend to Jesus for healing, and when Jesus saw their faith He forgave and healed the paralytic; Luke looks at the faith of a centurion who amazed Jesus with his faith, and Jesus acknowledged He had not found such faith in all Israel; Luke identifies a sinful woman Jesus forgave because she had much faith; and Matthew identifies a Canaanite woman recognized by Jesus for her great faith.

      Unit Points of Emphasis _____________________________________________

      UNIT II—STANDING IN THE FAITH

      This unit has four lessons drawn from Romans that encourage believers to continue standing in the faith. The first lesson indicates that the righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. The second lesson provides an example from the life of Abraham. The third lesson explores the meaning of being justified by faith, and the fourth lesson traces faith that comes from what is heard through the word of Christ. Thus, those who are called by Christ’s name are encouraged to confess with their lips, believe in their hearts, and stand in faith daily.

      Unit Points of Emphasis _____________________________________________

      UNIT III—EXPERIENCING HOPE

      This unit gave shape to the early Church. Lessons draw on New Testament passages from Colossians, 2 Corinthians, Romans, Hebrews, and Acts. In Colossians 1:27 (Lesson 1), Paul tells the Colossians that the mysteries of God become known to them as their hope in Christ transforms their lives. In the Second Letter to the Corinthians (Lesson 2), hope in Christ leads to an even greater boldness than was possible for Moses because believers are able to see the glory of God with unveiled faces (3:18). Lesson 3, points to the hope that is inspired in those around us when they see the salvation that is being worked out in us by the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:1 –13). In Lesson 4 we find encouragement, as did the writer of Hebrews (ch. 6), in the spiritual lifeline we have to God through Christ. The unit closes with a lesson from Acts 26:1 –11 and a testimony of Christian hope from Paul’s own lips as he defends himself before King Agrippa.

      Director: How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

      School: They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

      Director: My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

      School: He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

      Director: In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

      All: Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

      Recitation in Concert:

      Psalm 62:9–12

      9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

      10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

      11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

      12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

      When he saw their faith, he said, Friend, your sins are forgiven you. (Luke 5:20, NRSV)

      Suggestions for Effective Teaching...

      SEEKERS FOR JESUS

      STEP 1: — Begin class by asking students to review the lesson from last week. Ask them to share any action steps they took this week.

      Step 2: Intro Activity — Ask students to think of a time a friend supported them. How did they feel? Lead a discussion about being supportive. Tell students that today’s lesson will demonstrate how friends supported a paralyzed man who could not walk.

      Step 3: Today’s Word — Ask several students to read out loud several of the verses from the print passage for today. Challenge the reader to describe in their own words what they’ve read. Students may want to reenact the scene to further demonstrate their understanding of the story.

      Step 4: Consider This — Ask volunteers to read the Consider This section. Discuss how it relates to today’s lesson and to the students’ own lives.

      Step 5: Last Thoughts — Read the Last Thoughts section, and discuss. Answer any of the students questions.

      Step 6: Closing — Challenge students to think of one way to support their friends this week. Close in prayer.

      TEEN SCENE

      STEP 1: — Begin class with prayer. Ask students to review last week’s lesson and share any insights or actions they have taken as a result of the lesson. Introduce the theme of this new quarter of study.

      Step 2: Intro Activity — Ask students to use phones or other smart devices to search for images of roofs in first–century Palestine. Ask them to describe what they see and to keep these images in mind as you discuss today’s image.

      Step 3: Dissect and Digest — Have the students read the Dissect and Digest portion of the book and the accompanying questions.

      Step 4: Heart of the Matter — Ask a volunteer to read and discuss the Heart of the Matter section found in the student book. How is the story relatable to their lives?

      Step 5: Activity — Ask students how they are supportive of their friends as well as how their friends are supportive of them. Ask them if it is important to them to have support. Why or why not?

      Step 6: Closing — Review the key verse. Then challenge students to be supportive of their friends through their actions as well as by praying for their specific needs. Close in prayer.
