What We Are Teaching 9-18

Hey Parents and Students,

Here is a preview of what we will be talking about this coming Sunday in Sunday School.

Many times when we begin reading the Old Testament (usually just randomly opening it and reading the first paragraph that sticks out) we just don't seem to get it. We don't see how it fits with the New Testament and we for sure do not see how it fits in our lives in the 21 century.

Over the next 4 weeks we will be looking at how the Old Testament fits in with God's story for us. How it works with the New Testament to tell this awesome story of how an awesome, holy God creates a world, chooses a people who because of sin need rescue and how this God promises to send a rescuer.

This week we will discuss the question "Who Wrote the Old Testament?". Here is a summary:

 - God wrote the Old Testament through human authors whom God the Holy Spirit inspired to perfectly pen his truth. People wrote it. God wrote it. 

 - “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for      training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. 

          -The Old Testament is a series of promises that God makes and the New Testament is the fulfillment
              of those promises. 


Take some time after church this week to discuss with your kids what they learned and enjoy God's work in their lives.
