WORLD SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSONS AND HANDOUTS FOR THIS WEEK
World Sunday School first appeared on the Internet on May 14, 2003. Since that time, this independent website has supplied weekly graded Sunday School lessons and handouts (and, often, coloring pages) to help Sunday School teachers worldwide. We hope to help preserve the Sunday School movement which had its glory days in the 1930's. In a time when so many churches are downsizing Sunday Schools, we aim to preserve this Christian teaching to enrich the life of children and youth worldwide.

God's Word Is Truth
March 19, 2023
This week’s lesson focuses on the Bible and the truth therein. This is a summary of my journey the past five years in learning why I believe the Bible and that it is the Word of God, it is Truth.
GOD Bless You All. : )

God's Word Is Truth
Psalms 119
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein to I delight.
Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
So shall I have wherewith no answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

CURRENT LESSON PLAN - Elijah: Where God Guides, He Provides
Lesson 4: God Provides a Stunning Victory by Lisa DeVinney
Author’s Notes: This week’s lesson may be one of the most familiar accounts from the ministry of Elijah; the confrontation with the prophets of Baal, on Mount Carmel. In our first few lessons, we’ve seen the Lord provide in many ways for Elijah, demonstrating His awesome power to a few individuals. But in today’s lesson, we’re going to see the Lord show His mighty hand on a grand scale, so all of Israel will know, without a doubt, that He is the One, true and living God! And in doing so, we’ll also see how the Lord provides for His prophet Elijah, once again; giving him a great victory over 450 prophets of Baal.
