Sunday School Notes for the Weekend

Crossroads Bible Church Sr. High Student Ministry
Sunday School Class Notes, September 19, 2010.
Knowing Christ, Week #4. Law & Grace/The New Covenant.

Discussion Starter: Read “The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence” (on the back of this sheet). What are they saying they are going to do? What are the reasons they intend to do this? What differences can you discern from the “old” government and what they’d like for the “new” one to be? How would this be taken by the “old” government? How would this be seen by those wanting “new” things?

Jeremiah 31: 31—34:

WHAT is coming? WHO is involved?
In v. 32, HOW did each party do with the “old covenant?”
HOW is this contrasted with the previous one, in vv. 33-34?


Matthew 26: 26—29, Luke 22: 19&20:

WHO is Jesus with? WHAT were they doing?
WHAT does Jesus give them to drink and WHAT does He say it symbolizes?

At this point, the demands of the law included…




Hebrews 8: 1—13:

HOW is Christ described in vv. 1&2?
According to vv. 4&5, how are the “gifts acoording to Law” serving mankind?
In v. 6, HOW is CHRIST’S PRIESTHOOD viewed?
What is the CAUSE/EFFECT seen in verse 7?

According to verses 8—13, what CONTRASTS do you find in these verse against the Mosaic Covenant?

In the first part of verse 10, where will the Law be?
According to the rest of verse 10, there will no longer be…
In verse 11, WHO gets access to God?
Look at Hebrews 10:1 (from 8:5) and 8:12, and WHAT is different?

Sunday School Lesson for Sept 12

Knowing Christ, Week #3. Introduction to Law & Grace.

Discussion Starter: In this clip from the 1998 movie “Les Miserables,” What do we discover about Jean Valjean’s past? Why do we like Bishop Myriel from the dinner discussion? What would’ve been Jean’s future had the Bishop’s wife had her way when Jean was arrested? What is the Bishop’s motivation to let Jean off the hook? How could this moment change Jean’s future? How do you think Jean’s world perspective would change and why?

Why is a discussion of Law & Grace even important?

1 John 4: 17—19: It affects how…

Ephesians 4:32: It affects how…

It explains our____________________for living the Christian life.

What do we mean when we say “LAW?”

It is a __________________ that was _____________________ by God Himself and then it

was ________________________ by the nation of Israel (Exodus 19:3-6, 24:4-8)

It contained_________________ for obedience and _______________ for disobedience.

It lasted from _______________________until it was ____________________in Christ.
(Galatians 3:24-26)

There are general and specific purposes of The Law. Some of these are…





Galatians 4: 1—7:
COMPARE & CONTRAST slaves & children in vv. 1&2.
WHAT “were” we in verse 3 and WHAT was our situation?
WHAT is the contrast in verse 4?
In verse 5, WHAT was the reason?
WHAT are the benefits to us in verses 5—7?
