Angels Are Watching Over You

Our Sunday School topic for today focuses on instances where God's creation has “bubbled over” to the extent that spontaneous singing and praising was the result. Each time, God and His marvelous work was the cause of this rejoicing[cite: 47]!

Discussion & Reflection Questions:[cite: 47]
  1. Can you remember the times when you could not contain yourself for the joy in you and you had to break forth into singing[cite: 47]?
  2. Do you notice the joy of something being restored[cite: 47]?
  3. Do you have a time in your life when God, through Jesus our Lord, restored you from your fallen condition[cite: 47]?
  4. Describe the joy and personal reward of humble dedication — the indwelling Christ[cite: 47].
  5. Challenge students to serve others in humility this week[cite: 47].
