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?

Fruit of the Spirit:



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