Junior / Adult — Week 1

What a Friend
Brother Dwight

Friends
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

Our Sunday School topic for today focuses on friendship. We are talking about how important our friends are to us, and our mother and father. Then we realize that Jesus is our friend too. Remember the song — “What a Friend We Have in Jesus!”

Friendship is a two-way street. We cannot expect love from others if we in turn are not willing to love. Friendship means giving and sharing. It means hurting together and laughing together. There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. His name is Jesus and you could have no better friend!

Proverbs 18:24: “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

John 15:15: “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

Matthew 11:28: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

GOD Bless You All. : )

Moses: Seeing and Doing Things God's Way
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout → More Grade 3�6 Lessons →

Teacher�s Notes: We�ve been following the Israelites� trip through the wilderness toward the Promised Land for many weeks. Today�s lesson finds them finally getting close to their destination; close enough that spies are sent out to see what the Promised Land looks like. But when the spies come back with their report, will they see the Promised Land as God does, and follow Him in? Or will they see things differently, and lose out on the blessings God had in store for them?

Fill in the Blanks:
  1. God told Moses to choose twelve men to search out the land of Canaan.
  2. Two of the chosen men were Joshua and Caleb.
  3. The spies brought back a giant cluster of grapes.
  4. The spies said the land flowed with milk and honey.
  5. The spies said they felt like grasshoppers compared to the people in Canaan.

True or False:
  1. After leaving Mt. Sinai, the Israelites encamped at Kadesh-barnea. (True)
  2. The spies were told to bring back captives from the land. (False — bring back the fruit of the land)
  3. The spies claimed to have seen giants in the Promised Land. (True)
  4. Ten of the spies were ready to go into the Promised Land with Moses. (False — only two)
  5. God said everyone 20 years old and older would die in the wilderness. (True)

Pass the Cup
By Julie Pisacane

Pass the Cup
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →
Deuteronomy 6:5: “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
Lesson Activity: Pass the Cup

After each child takes a verse paper from the cup, explain how the Word of God is faithful and true. He has given us words to live by and has made spiritual promises to those who trust and believe in Him. Have each child read their verse out loud (help them if needed).

Close in Prayer.
