KINDER - 4th GRADE

LESSON 1: PAUL’S LETTER TO PHILEMON (Philemon 8-22)

MEMORY VERSE: Philippians 3:14 “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (NIV)

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS

How did Onesimus change after he met Paul?
Why is it sometimes hard to forgive people who have wronged us?
How have you been forgiven? How do you feel when someone forgives you?

5th GRADE

BIBLE TIME PERIOD: JUDGES (Joshua 1-2)

MEMORY VERSE: Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

This week we explored the story of Ruth that took place during the time of the Judges.

Why was the time of the Judges such a dark time in Israel’s history?
Ruth was a Moabite, but what did she say to Naomi that showed she now believed in the God of Israel?
Ruth became the great-great grandmother of which king?

6th GRADE

LESSON 4: WHAT SHOULD I WORSHIP?

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 22:36-38

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.”

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS

This week, we researched what other worldviews worship. As a family, read the summary of each worldview.

Islam: If you use the Islamic map as your worldview map, you worship Allah. You believe Allah is the one and only God. He is not three persons in one. Allah is simply one. You think that when Christians say Jesus is God’s Son it means they worship two different Gods. Allah is not the same as the God Christians worship. Because Allah is one, he needs people outside of himself in order for him to have relationships. As a Muslim, you believe that a man named Mohammed was Allah’s best and final prophet (messenger). You do not worship Mohammed, but you study the Quran. The Quran is a book that Mohammed told others came from Allah.

Postmodernism: If you use the postmodern map as your worldview map, you think things are much too blurry to know what is True or even what is real. But you do not think that it is important to know the Truth. All you care about knowing is what is important to your community. Whatever your community believes is what you will believe. Different communities believe different things and that is okay. Your community is what is most important to you.

As a family, discuss what each worldview worships. How might worshiping these different things affect your choices and behaviors?

Spend some time thanking God for creating you to worship Him. Ask that God would be at work in the hearts and minds of those who follow Islam and postmodernism, showing them that they were designed to worship Him.

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.

BOYS: We took time to pause and reflect on what we’ve learned and explored two questions: What is my why? and Who gives me my why? We will look to plant seeds that can give each individual a hunger for God and wisdom

GIRLS: WHAT IS TRUTH? (Proverbs 2:6-8)

According to Scripture, what is truth? (See Proverbs 2:6, Psalm 119:160 and John 14:6)
Is this something you can align yourself with?
How do you handle someone who says they have a different truth?

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