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.

Understanding God's Word
July 10, 2022
Understanding God’s Word Many times in teaching I have echoed the importance of prayer and getting into God’s word. This is crucial to living skillfully and in victory. God’s word is our source of strength! In this lesson it is my prayer that we begin to understand God’s word more and I hope to teach you some steps we can take to get the most from God’s word as we read and study it. If we take this approach and apply the steps, it will make God’s word come alive to us and we can be more effective in everyday life through Christ.
CURRENT HANDOUT
Understanding God's Word
Understand that God’s Word is God Breathed “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:1-17)
2. Get a fresh approach through The Holy Spirit.
“Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. (Luke 24:45)
3. God’s Word is an invitation for Conversation with Him
“And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.” (Jeremiah 24:7)

GRADE 3-6 LESSON - July 10, 2022
CURRENT LESSON PLAN - Joseph 6 - True Transformation, by Lisa DeVinney
True Transformation
Author’s Notes: Last week we asked the question: can a leopard change his spots? We found that while it cannot, if it were to become a whole new creature, for example – a lion, then it could be rid of its spots. And we learned that God can make us into brand new creatures when we are born again. He can wash away our sin-spots with the blood of Christ. But how can we know that this change has really taken place? There should be changes in our lives that are consistent with that new creature that we’ve become. Today we’re going to take a close look at Joseph’s brothers, to see if there’s any evidence that their hearts have truly changed. And we’ll take a close look at ourselves, too, to see if there’s evidence that we are truly new creatures, with the Holy Spirit living inside. Opening comments/story:> Last week, we looked at the question from the book of Jeremiah: can a leopard change his spots? Does anyone remember how we decided that could happen? Only if its creator were to change that leopard into a whole different creature. We saw that if God changed a leopard into a lion, then it would, in fact, lose its spots, since lions don’t have spots.
