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.

CURRENT LESSON PLAN - moses: Parting Words of Wisdom, by Lisa DeVinney
Teacher’s Notes: We’ve now come to our final lesson on the life of moses. The Israelites have finally made it back to the Promised Land, and are ready to go in. Only they’ll have to do so without the man who brought them there. We learned, last week, that moses would not be allowed to go into the Promised Land because of his disobedience to God, before the congregation of Israel. And now, as the Israelite prepare to possess the Land, God has told moses it’s time for him to die. So our final lesson in this series will be a look at moses’ last words to the children of Israel. And you can be sure they came from a very tender heart, as moses knew what lay ahead for God’s chosen people.

Devotional Poem: A Man Named Moses
A man of God, right to the very end;
A man who could call God, Himself, his friend;
A man who, with God’s help, could part the sea;
This man named Moses served God, faithfully.
And though he never reached the Promised Land,
Upon a mountain top, Moses did stand
To see the promise, there before his eyes.
But for this man, the Land was not his prize.
For Moses lived only to serve the Lord;
Their moments face to face, his sure reward.
And this is what he’d say to you and me…
It’s worth it all, to serve the King of Kings.
