Sunday School lesson(s) 2017

In a few weeks time we will be into another year.  2017!  Who would've believed it?  As we end the year, we will also be ending lessons from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. The Lord has graciously allowed this blogger to teach the Junior class, 10-13 year olds. In the heart of this blogger has been to give the students opportunity to memorize scriptue. They have diligently worked on Isaiah 53, Ps 119.89, 2 Pet 1.21 and 2 Tim 2.15, among others.  It is now on this heart to begin learning, via song, Psalm 19.7-10.  This "song" was taught to me years ago and an inspiration as to a wonderful technique of memorizing scripture. Along with the memorization of this Psalm, it is strong on the heart of this blogger to begin a study on the names of Jesus.
MAKING MUCH OF JESUS
At our Camp Meeting in October of this year, a preacher was asked to testify of the message the Holy Ghost gave his heart many years ago, titled, "Making much of Jesus."  I could not get away from this.  Memorizing scripture is good.  Scripture, of course, is inexhaustible in all but the REASON, it is all there in the first place, is "HIM!"
With that in mind, as time and space permit, successive blogs will elude to what is going on in the Junior class as they memorize Psalm 19.7-10 and learn of HIM by "Making much of Jesus."
I can't wait!
Stay tuned...
