Sunday School Outline – December 6th 2020 – January 17th 2021
Unit Theme: Book of Isaiah
INTRODUCTION
Several labels have been attached to the Book of Isaiah. Among them are “a Bible within the Bible,” “a miniature Bible,” “the centerpiece of the story of Israel,” and “the Romans of the Old Testament.” A number of quotations from the Book of Isaiah are found in the New Testament. Jesus himself (the infallible Teacher) quoted from this book, and other parts are recognized as the witness of the Holy Spirit. Where could we find greater authenticity than the endorsement of members of the Godhead?
Little is known of Isaiah except what is recorded in this book. He was a prophet who ministered in Jerusalem from about 750 to 700 BC. He worked under four Judean kings: Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (1:1). He wrote of hope and disaster. His portrait of the future of Jerusalem is beautiful, and his foretelling of Babylon’s fall is horrific.
Isaiah and his son Shear took the message of the Lord to King Ahaz (see ch. 7). Under divine direction, Isaiah was instructed to walk around Jerusalem naked as a sign of God’s displeasure with Jerusalem’s apostasy (see ch. 20). He foretold Jerusalem’s deliverance from Sennacherib’s siege (see chs. 36-37), and was a witness to Hezekiah’s recovery (see ch. 38). Jewish tradition claims that Isaiah suffered martyrdom by having been sawn asunder. We don’t know if this is true, but there is a reference in the listing of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 to some who were “sawed in two” (v. 37 NIV). There is an account in the apocryphal The Ascension of Isaiah that says he suffered martyrdom under Manasseh.
The Book of Isaiah carries the message of a sovereign God who, out of His heart of love, provides redemption for humankind. His sovereignty is on display in His connection with the Jewish people. In their sins, they faced divine judgment; in their return to God, they found salvation. As much as in any other Biblical account, the majesty and holiness of God are on display in this book. Isaiah also shows us what a marvelous future God has in store for those who are His.

Next Unit Theme: Scriptures Difficult to Understand
Sunday School Outline – March 7th 2021 – April 18th 2021
Unit Theme:
Scriptures Difficult to Understand
The Bible is God’s Word to us, but in order for the Bible to fulfil its purposes in our lives, we must understand it. Therefore, we believe God gave us His Word in an understandable and clear form. Scholars call this concept the “clarity of Scripture.” This means the message of the Bible is not a puzzle we must piece together or a secret mystery we must solve. It is written in normal human language, using words, grammar, and literary standards with their straightforward meanings.
We should read the Bible naturally, and we should interpret its words as we would in ordinary daily use. That is, we should not seek out some new mystical, hidden, or secret interpretation. The message of the Bible is not hidden; it is available to ordinary people (Deut. 30:11-14). False teachers often claim to have secret knowledge, and they deceive their followers and create a false religion. The apostle Paul warns us against these false teachers who disseminate the “doctrines of demons” (1 Tim. 4:1 NKJV).
Although we affirm the clarity of Scripture, we also admit that many passages of Scripture are difficult to understand. However, our difficulty in understanding those passages is not due to any fault of the Bible itself. Instead, our struggles to understand are caused by the great distance that exists between us and the Biblical world. We live in modern times, but the Bible was written in ancient times. This distance between the ancient world and the modern world creates several barriers that hinder our understanding of the Bible. The barriers include language, worldview, culture, geography, and tradition.
The Bible was written in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages, which have unique words and terms that do not translate well into English. Also, the ancient worldview was very different from the modern worldview. For example, ancient people did not separate the physical dimension from the spiritual dimension. Differences in culture relate to almost every part of life. Over the centuries, almost every category of culture has seen radical changes, including daily habits, political structures, religious customs, family relationships, educational patterns, work environments, and social traditions.
The geography of the Middle East is unfamiliar to most of us, but it plays an essential role in many Biblical events. Finally, in regard to tradition, Jesus declared that the Pharisees and scribes made the “word of God of none effect through [their] tradition” (Mark 7:13). Therefore, we sometimes misunderstand Scripture because of incorrect teaching in the past.
Over the next few weeks, we will see how these barriers to communication can be overcome or at least minimized. This week, in our attempt to understand three separate Biblical passages, we will learn about two unfamiliar ancient rituals; and we will reflect on our traditional view of God.

Next Unit: Letters From Peter and Jude
Sunday School Outline – April 25th – May 30th 2021
Unit Theme:
Letters from Peter and Jude
The apostle Peter was one of the most vibrant and energetic people in the life of our Lord. The first part of his life—from his birth to the time he met Jesus—we know little about. We do know he was married and his mother-in-law was still living (Mark 1:30). He was a Galilean fisherman who lived in Capernaum and had a brother named Andrew (v. 16).
The second part of his life is given in some detail for us. This is his life following his conversion until the Day of Pentecost. The records are clear in the Gospels and in Acts.
The third period is from the Day of Pentecost to the Jerusalem Council. This is found in Acts 1—15 and Galatians 2. It covered a time frame from about AD 33 to 49.
From the Jerusalem Council to his death, the records are meager. We have only his two epistles and brief references in the remainder of the New Testament: 1 Corinthians 9:5 and John 21:18-19.
Peter’s first letter is addressed to a mixture of Jewish and Gentile Christians in five areas of Asia Minor. It was probably written from Rome in the early to middle part of the decade of the 60s. It is clear that these Christians were beginning to be persecuted for their faith. In light of this, the apostle Peter wrote “a powerful appeal to courage, purity, and faithfulness to Christ amid the sufferings which they are experiencing” (D. Edmond Hiebert, An Introduction to the Non-Pauline Epistles).

Next Unit: Unit Theme: Letter to the Ephesians
Sunday School Outline – December 5th 2021– January 17th 2022
The account of Christ’s life as recorded by Luke is especially elegant and sensitive. Unlike Matthew, Mark, and John, who were Jews, Luke was a Greek, and his writing bears the marks of Greek literary beauty and precision. As a companion of Paul, as well as being a Greek, Luke understood the necessity of spirituality and the benefit of learning. He was known as “the beloved physician” (Col. 4:14), which suggests he was a person of considerable skills and learning. Formerly a minister of medical care, he became a minister and chronicler of the life of Jesus, the Great Physician.
The Gospel according to Luke is the first part of a two-part record of Christianity, the second part being the Acts of the Apostles. Luke inscribed both of his works to a person named Theophilus, probably a man of high rank who desired thorough knowledge of the life of Christ and the work of His followers. In ancient times, most literary works were sponsored by persons of wealth or authority. Frequently the published work was inscribed to the sponsor, as Luke addressed his works to Theophilus.
