Weekend Teaching

Crossroads Bible Church Sr. High Student Ministry
Sunday School Class Notes, October 17, 2010.
Knowing Christ, Week #8. Importance of the Ressurrection.

Review:

The “GREAT PROBLEM of the BIBLE”: How can __________________________ people be made “right” in the eyes of a God who is _____________________.

Our iniquities (sin)…
The wages of sin…

This problem is two-fold problem demands a two-fold solution:

Discussion Starter: Watch the scene from “Dead Poets Society.” What does Professor Keating take his students to stand before? Why might this be significant? Who does he compare himself to by inferring the Walt Whitman reference? Why might this be significant? What is the point of the poem read by Mr. Pitts? What question does he ask referencing the boys in the photo? What is his charge to the class? Why do you think this scene has become one of the most memorable scenes in the last 25 years?


Ephesians 2: 1—10. A Key CBC Student Ministry passage.

In verse 1, what WERE we?

Trespasses = sins =

How did we formerly walk and live according to verse 2 & 3?


What were we “by nature?” (review from last week: Why is this necessary?)

CONTRAST in v.4: BUT…

God is rich in… Has great…



Verse 5: God made us...

This is in the perfect tense, which means…

(over, please)

Verse 6: What other two things did God do?

Side note: John 10: 10

Verse 7: WHY would He do this?


A reminder in verses 8 & 9 on WHO did the work:


In verse 10: We are his… Greek word:

Why were we created?

Since we were created for this, what is the natural conclusion?

2 Corinthians 5: 14-17, An Understanding of Our Standing Before God:

In verse 14, WHAT controls us? Greek word highlights…

In verse 15, if He died for all, what else did He do for all?

In verse 16, HOW are we to recognize those that are in a relationship with Christ?

In verse 17, If any man is in Christ, he is a…

Knowing Christ, Week #7. The Importance of the Cross.

The “GREAT PROBLEM of the BIBLE”: How can __________________________ people be made “right” in the eyes of a God who is _____________________.

Genesis 3: 1—7:

Compare verse 3 with 2:17. Was Eve correct?
In verse 6, what 3 things give insight into her motivation?
In 3: 19, what is the end result?

Isaiah 59: 1-2: Our iniquities (sin)…

Romans 6: 23: The wages of sin:

This problem is two-fold problem demands a two-fold solution:



Psalm 11: 4-6 shows us that God’s response to evil, because of His holiness, has to be…


Discussion Starter: Watch the scenes from “Rachel Getting Married.” How does Kim describe herself & how long has she been clean? What are her thoughts on God and His forgiveness? What insight does she give as to why she turned to drugs? In the scene with her mom, what question does she ask? Why do you think she asks it? Do you think she wrecks the car on purpose? Why or why not? If so, where do you think she “stands” in her rehabilitation? If her family said, “We love Kim just as she is and don’t want her to change,” would you question that nature of their love? Why would they want to “rehabilitate” her, anyway?

Forgiveness is _____________________________________ if there aren’t real _____________________________________.

Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 3

Crossroads Bible Church Sr. High Student Ministry
Sunday School Class Notes, October 3, 2010.
Knowing Christ, Week #6. Law & Grace/Law of Love.

Discussion Starter: Watch the scene from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” What is Jeannie’s issue? When the “thug” offers a potential option, why does she say that she can’t do that? What is the thug’s diagnosis? Does Jeannie agree? What is the solution to the diagnosis? Which of these characters do we like more & why? What change do you see in Jeannie and why do you think she does?

Galatians 5:

Verse 1: Why did Christ set us free? What is the assumed response? (“therefore…”)
Verse 4: What causes us to “fall from grace?”
Verse 6: What doesn’t mean something? CONTRAST: What does?
Verses 7—12: What were they doing & what happened? How was this caused? What is Paul’s logic in distancing from false teaching? What is his desire for the false teachers?

Verses 13—15: If verse 1 is true, what is the caution Paul gives us? How do we avoid this? What is the fulfillment of the Law?

Verses 16—24: What is the command in v. 16? If we do this, what will NOT happen? What two entities are at odds with each other? What does the Spirit keep us from doing? If we are under the Spirit, what no longer applies?

Examples of the flesh:




(is this a complete list? What happens to those that practice these things?)


Fruit of the Spirit:



Verses 25 & 26: What is the assumption? What is the warning?
