This week we reached the last time period on our biblical timeline as we explored the last days, the rapture of the Church, and Christ’s return to Earth to rule and reign forever!
In the first part of Revelation, John writes Jesus’ message to seven churches. Read Revelation 3:11-12. What are the promises that Jesus Makes to those who hold fast and overcome? (Read the first three chapters to find more promises!)
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. Paul describes the rapture and then says to comfort one another with these words. How do these words bring comfort to us?
Why is there no need for a temple in the new heavens and new earth? (Revelation 21:22)
6th GRADE
LESSON 3: WHO AM I?
MEMORY VERSE: Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS
This week, we talked about what makes us us.
Take out a family photo album that shows your family throughout different years. Look at the pictures and talk about what looks different about you throughout the years.
Even though your bodies have changed, are you still you? Yes! What makes you you is your soul. Your soul is the you on the inside.
Spend some time as a family describing things you appreciate about each family member’s soul. Pray together, thanking God for creating each of you. Ask that He would help you to love Him and reflect Him to those around you.
7th - 8TH GRADE
This year for 7th and 8th grade Quest will be delving into Proverbs, exploring how to apply biblical wisdom to everyday life. Our goal is to build a strong relationship with God and make Jesus our anchor as we navigate life.
Wisdom Has Priceless Worth! (Proverbs 3:13-20) | Week 2
How are wisdom’s ways and paths described? (v.17)
What is wisdom’s price tag?
People can save money for something they are currently striving for. There is nothing wrong with this, but why do you think many don’t strive to gain wisdom? What could be holding them back?
Home Connection | Week of 3/4
KINDER - 5th GRADE
LESSON: The True Story of St. Patrick
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 23:1-3a
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
Why did God tell Patrick to go back to Ireland where he had once been a slave?
How did Patrick use the shamrock to teach people about God?
How did Patrick have courage and show that he feared God more than the King of Ireland?
6th GRADE
LESSON 2: WHO AM I?
MEMORY VERSE: Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
This week, we looked at Genesis 1:26–28 again to learn what it means to be created in God’s image. As a family, read through Genesis 1:26–28 again.
What does Genesis 1:27 tell us about being created in God’s image? (Hint: Look at the last part of the verse.)
Look at Genesis 1:28. What jobs did God give humans?
God created you in His image and gave you the job of caring for other creatures. Animals are special creatures, but they are not made in God’s image. Only humans are created in God’s image and have the responsibility to care for other creatures. You are not an animal; you are made in God’s image!
You have probably heard people say that it doesn’t matter if you are a girl or a boy. They believe that each person is the same and shouldn’t care about whether he or she is a girl or a boy.
Think back to Genesis 1:26–28. According to these verses, did male and female happen by accident or did God plan this on purpose?
God created you as a boy or a girl on purpose! If you are a boy, you show the world God’s image in a way that only boys can! If you are a girl, you show the world God’s image in a way that only girls can! That doesn’t mean that you are the same as every other boy or every other girl. But it does mean that there is something very special about your gender!
Spend time thanking God for making you in His image. Thank Him for giving you the responsibility of caring for His creation and for making you male or female on purpose.

Home Connection | Week of 8/27
KINDER - 4th GRADE
LESSON 3: THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (Gal. 5: 16-26)
MEMORY VERSE: 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! (NIV)

As unbelievers sin controlled us, who is in control now?

LESSON 3: CREATION
MEMORY VERSE: 2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

We are exploring each of the biblical time periods and asking the question, “What do we learn about God and His plan for us and the world?”
Read Genesis 1:26-27
What do we learn about God in these verses?
What do we learn about humans in these verses?

ERICA INGRAHAM

“I am so excited to be a part of Quest and to help kids see that they too can read, understand and apply God’s Word to their lives. God’s Word is alive and active today, as well as backed up by history, prophecy and archaeology. Nothing is more exciting or inspiring than seeing the kids have lightbulb moments when they truly understand, or their faith has been increased.”
SUSANNA UNRUH

“It is my true honor and joy to teach in Quest 119. I love finding creative ways to present biblical truths to my students. As we explore God’s Word together, I pray that they come to know God personally and become deeply rooted in their own faith.”

DANIEL MURPHY

“My goal for the young men in my class is to spark their interest, expand their understanding of themselves and the world around them, push them to take on the responsibility of manhood, show them the depths and grace of the gospel, and to either stoke their love for Christ or allow them a place to meet Him.”
