Reconciling Love - Sunday School Lesson

Romans 5:6-11King James Version (KJV)

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Romans 8:31-39King James Version (KJV)

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear Friends,

Christian Education is a pivitol part of our growth in the body of Christ.  Personal Bible study, group bible study, home study all contribute to Christian Education.  Sunday School instruction has been one of the pillars of CE programs across denominations.
It is my goal to list the topic of the International Sunday School Lesson each week moving forward and highlight the aim/objective of the study.
Today I have also included brief background information on the ISSL (uniform lessons).

Reconciling Love. The featured scriptures today are the focus on the International Sunday School Lessons.

Lesson Text: Romans 5:6-11; 8:31-39
Background Scripture: Romans 5:6-11; 8:31-39
Devotional Reading: Romans 1:1-15

The aim today's lesson: 
Learning Fact: To understand why God's love in Christ is invincible.
Biblical Perspective: To explore the connection between being justified and reconciled.
Daily Application: To make one's personal life change to better live out God's reconciling love.

Invincible
  • Nothing can separate us from the love of God
Justified
  • We are justified (made righteous) through the blood of Christ
Reconciled
  • It is because of the work of Christ, his shed blood that we have access to God the Father, reconciled put in a right relationship with God
It is my prayer that you will be blessed as you study the lesson.

God bless!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie


What are the "uniform" ISSL's?
The Uniform Series is a 6-year plan for reading and studying the Bible. By participating in the Uniform Series, a believer will be given help in knowing the content of the Bible, understanding its message, and responding to that message by living a life of faith and love.The Bible is, of course, central to this plan. An effort is made to take at least 1 lesson or daily Bible reading from each book of the Bible over a 6-year span. Naturally, some parts of the Bible are more “teachable” than others, and these sections get more of the attention in the series.
What is uniform about the series?
Uniform means “the same,” and there are 2 ways this series demonstrates “sameness.” First, the series is the result of the combined efforts of several denominations and publishing houses, and is thus shared by all of them. That means a class in the Christian church on the corner, another in the Methodist church down the street, and still another in the Presbyterian church across town might all be using the same text on any given Sunday. Each of these churches can buy curriculum or annual commentaries on the Uniform Series from their preferred publisher.In some of those churches you’ll see the second level of uniformity. In every class of every age student, the same text or theme will be addressed. Uniform Series lessons are available for every age level from some publishers. (Standard Publishing produces material on the Uniform Series only for adults.) This allows for family discussion of the day’s Sunday school lessons in those churches that use the Uniform lessons in that way.

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...

Blessed Are They That Believe

Luke 1:39-47 King James Version (KJV) 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43  And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings!  When...
