The lesson reviews the biblical foundation of marriage as a covenant established by God in Genesis, emphasizing that a husband and wife become one flesh and that parents must release married children to form their own household. It then addresses divorce through passages in Deuteronomy, Matthew 19, Malachi, and 1 Corinthians 7, arguing that divorce is serious, painful, and never to be treated casu...

The lesson emphasized that Scripture is God’s true and sufficient revelation, and that believers must rely on it rather than cultural opinion, personal bias, or modern confusion. Turning to 1 Corinthians 7, marriage is God’s covenant design between one man and one woman for life, stressing faithfulness, mutual responsibility, communication, and sexual intimacy within marriage.

This lesson on 1 Corinthians 6 emphasizes that the gospel and resurrection power should produce real change in a believer’s life, not just words or intentions. Paul warns the Corinthian church against habitual sin, especially sexual immorality, and reminds them that their bodies belong to Christ and the Holy Spirit. The heart of the message is that Christians have been washed, sanctified, and just...

The Sunday school lesson on 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 points out that Christians should be resolving disputes through direct reconciliation rather than lawsuits, mirroring Paul's rebuke of Corinthian believers suing each other in secular courts. Paul argues that saints, destined to judge the world and angels, should handle internal grievances wisely among themselves to avoid shaming Christ, sending a p...

Paul rebukes the Corinthian church for tolerating a case of sexual immorality among its members. He urges them to excommunicate the unrepentant man, using the "leaven" metaphor to warn that unchecked sin corrupts the whole community, and emphasizes the need for church purity.

The central lesson of this 1 Corinthians 2 passage is that **true Christian teaching and faith are rooted in God’s power and the Spirit, not human wisdom or persuasive speech**. Paul contrasts the world’s lofty rhetoric and intellectual pride with the simple, cross‑centered proclamation of “Christ crucified,” showing that the Spirit’s work—convicting hearts, revealing God’s hidden wisdom, and givi...

Deuteronomy 30 shows that God both warns Israel of covenant **judgment** and promises future **restoration** and heart-level transformation, ultimately fulfilled in the New Covenant and tied to Israel’s future turning to Christ. *** ## Deuteronomy 30: Covenant, Exile, Restoration - Moses foresees Israel’s future: they will break the covenant, experience curses and exile, but God will later **resto...

The Sunday school lesson traced the biblical theme of covenant and redemption from Deuteronomy through Joshua, Jeremiah, Malachi, Galatians, and Hebrews. Bill Morris explained how Moses commanded Israel to obey God’s law, Joshua faithfully carried it out, and later prophets foretold a new covenant written on the heart. Paul then revealed that through Christ, believers—Jew and Gentile alike—are ado...

In this week’s class, we walk through Deuteronomy 26–28 and watch Israel stand at a kind of covenant “I do” moment with God. We look at the offering of firstfruits, where God tells His people how to give thanks for a harvest they have not even seen yet, and talk about how that kind of forward-looking gratitude can calm our own fears about the future. We also notice how Israel retells its rescue-fr...

The class session was a detailed Bible study on **Deuteronomy 22–25**, framed within a broader overview of the book’s structure and purpose. *** The teacher began by reviewing the **three major addresses of Moses** in Deuteronomy: 1. **Chapters 1–4** – a review of Israel’s wilderness journey and lessons learned. 2. **Chapters 4–28** – the main body of laws and covenant stipulations (the current fo...

The lesson contrasts Old Testament law in Deuteronomy with New Testament revelation in Christ, and wrestles with how ancient laws relate to believers today. Bill emphasizes that God’s character and moral principles remain constant even though covenant arrangements and historical circumstances have changed, with Hebrews 1 used to show that God’s final and clearest word is now through His Son.

The people are exhorted to remember their stubborn and rebellious past and to understand that God is giving them victory out of grace, not because of their own righteousness.

Let the past inform you, let the present inspire you, let the future invite you, let thanksgiving impel you, and let the warning ignite you into joyful obedience, humble dependence, and wholehearted devotion to God.
