Here is a Sunday school lesson on Cain and Abel. The Firstborn of Man Genesis 4:1-2 “Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground.” The first birth of humanity turned out not to be so good as Adam and Eve had a child... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson about angels. Ministers of the Saints Hebrews 1:14 “Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” The Bible mentions that angels are messengers of God but they also have another purpose and that is to minister to those of us who are the inheritors of salvation. Just as after “the devil left [Jesus], and behold, angels came and were ministering to him”... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson on Abraham. God Calls Abram Genesis 12:1 “Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.” You have to wonder how God spoke to Abram (later changed to Abraham). Was it an audible voice as we can presume? Either way, Abram didn’t think about it or hesitate, it was simply stated, “So Abram went, as the Lord had... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study about Adam and Eve. The Breath of Life Genesis 2:7 “then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” After God created the man, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,... Read more

Queen Vashti Demise Esther 2:17 “The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.” After Queen Vashti’s demise by refusing to obey King Ahasuerus’ command, the king decided to choose for himself a new queen and “So when the king’s order...

Here is a Sunday school lesson about Ruth. Your God is my God Ruth 1:16 “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.” After Naomi and her daughter-in-law’s husbands all died, Naomi had to go back to the land of Judah (Ruth 1:7) and so she said... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson on the Beatitudes. The Poor in Spirit Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” I believe that Jesus is talking about those who are poor in spirit or downtrodden in life but this doesn’t exclude the poor of course because they may be in this same company. Those who are poor in spirit are in a state of utter dependence on God for their sustenance. They... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study about the armor of God. Put it On Ephesians 6:11-12 “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” One of the things about this passage...

Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study on Jacob and Esau. The Supplanter Genesis 25:26 “Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.” Jacob’s name means “supplanter” or “deceiver” or “he who takes hold” and that’s just what he seemed to do even at birth as he held fast to his brother’s heel in coming out. Even though they were... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study about Jonah and the whale. Jonah’s Call Jonah 1:3 “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord.” I can recall several men I know who were called into the ministry at... Read more
