Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study focused on what the Bible says about envy. Envy is… Envy is such a human emotion and I think all of us are affected by it but envy occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession that someone else has that they wish they had. It could be a position, a job, a home, a spouse, their money or any other number of things. Our hearts are naturally... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study on encouragement. Encourage One Another First Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” In 1st Thessalonians Paul writes a lot about encouragement and in particular, he exhorts the church to encourage others which means we should “encourage the fainthearted, help the weak [and] be patient with them all” (1st Thess 5:14) just as God has been patient with us. Paul apparently knew... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study on the life of David. Looking at the Heart First Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” It is too easy for most of us to look at the outward appearances... Read more
Here is a Sunday School lesson or Bible study on the subject of doubt. Fear and Faith Matthew 14:31 “Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” This verse took place during a fierce windstorm in the middle of the night while the boat was being wind-beaten and “the disciples saw [Jesus] walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!”...

Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study on change. God Doesn’t Change Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” The fact that God doesn’t change is found throughout Scripture with the main theme being “I the Lord do not change” (Mal 3:6a) because God has no need to change. Has it ever occurred that nothings ever occurred to God? Jesus Christ as God (John 1:1) has no need to change either but in... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study I hope you can use about compassion. Compassion Compassion is a combination of two words, com “with” and passion or “to suffer together,” and so it is with great passion of others, someone could be said to be sharing in their suffering and that’s biblical as Paul writes, “who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the...

Here’s a Sunday school lesson or Bible study you can use for your study on creation. The Creation The Bible is not a science book about the heavens but a book about how to get to heaven so we cannot read the Bible as a science textbook any more than we can read a car manual as instructions on how to build a car. The Bible doesn’t explain how God created but it simply says “In the beginning, God created... Read more
Here is a Sunday school lesson or Bible study lesson on courage. What is Courage? Is courage a lack of fear or overcoming fear? I believe it’s doing what needs to be done despite fear. Courage is the ability or mindset to face difficulty, danger, intimidation, uncertainty, and pain without shrinking back from it in fear. We can be courageous in climbing a mountain but that doesn’t mean we might not have some fear because we want to preserve our... Read more
Here is a Sunday school or Bible study lesson that focuses on hope. A Definition of Hope The hope that the unsaved have is not the same hope that Christians have because of Who their hope is in. Someone that has hope typically has an optimistic attitude because it’s based upon an expectation of positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life that they know will come to pass. I like to think of hope for the believer... Read more
Here is a Sunday school or Bible study lesson on fear. What is Fear? Our fears can be irrational at times because often we fear things that we have no need to fear and we often have no fear of things we ought to fear. One example is that of a fear of heights which is really a fear of falling, but that fear is good because it keeps a person from taking too great of a risk. You can... Read more
