SUNDAY SCHOOL
For the last year and a half, I have included in the newsletter the outline and information for the FOLLOWING Sunday’s. Beginning this week, the outline and information will cover the PRECEEDING Sunday, allowing families to REVIEW the lesson each week.
Unit Title: God the Redeemer
Key Passage: Hebrews 3:5-6
Session Title: The Ten Commandments: Love God
Bible Passage: Exodus 19:1-20:11; 31:18
Main Point: God gave the 10 Commandments to show He is holy and we are sinners. The first four
commands show us how to love God.
Big Picture Question: What is God’s plan? God’s plan is to rescue His people from captivity.
This week, we will examine the first four of the Ten Commandments. These commands were
given by God through Moses to teach His people how to love and worship Him. God
demands perfect obedience, something none of us can do. And that’s the point of the
law: to show us of our need for another way to be right with God, a way found only in
Jesus.
Help your kids understand that God is holy and expects us to be holy as well. We can be
holy because of Jesus.
