REVISON DAY 5

FRIDAY 25/8/2017

LESSON 9

BLESSINGS FOR THOSE RIDICULED FOR CHRIST’S SAKE 

Suggested Hymns: G.H.B. 16, 243

Devotional Reading: Matt. 27:27-31

Topic For Adults: Let Them Say

Topic For Youths: Don’t Be Discourage

Topic For Intermediates: Don’t Allow Lies Drive You From God

Scripture Lessons: Mk. 3:20-27; Matt. 11:9; 13:23-26; Jer. 20:7-10; Ezra 5:11-16; Matt. 5:11

Memory Verse: For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”  Lk. 23:31 (NKJV)

SUMMARY

Christians should bear it in mind that they must prepare for ridicule because Jesus experienced the same thing from the people. He kept us informed in His teaching of the beatitude of what will confront us as a result of our belief in Him. We must not count it strange when people ridicule us for Christ’s sake.

LESSON 10

BLESSINGS FOR BEING THE SALT OF THE EARTH 

Suggested Hymn: G.H.B. 9, 36

Devotional Reading: Lk. 14:28-35

Topic For Adults: Preserving Christian Values

Topic For Youths: Enriching Your Society

Topic For Intermediates: Add Flavour To Your World

Scripture Lesson: Matt. 5:13; Rom. 12:1-2; Matt. 5:13; Acts 8:4-8; Matt. 5:13; 2 Cor. 2:14-17

Memory Verse: “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. Matt. 5:13 (NKJV)

SUMMARY

As salt is valuable to give flavour, strength, and at the same time preserve from decay and corruption; so is a heaven-bound Christian. He or she must be a godly example worthy of emulation and possess the positive effect of preserving others from being corrupt. He or she must resist worldly influence and never be trodden upon under the foot of men by the ungodly values of the world.
