SUMMER 2023 CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
This summer is the time for barbecue, ice cream, and a trip to the mountain. Through God’s Word for Life, we will take a seat on the side of the mountain to listen as Jesus teaches His first sermon to a crowd of people hungry for a word from God. Every age level in the church will hear Jesus’ inspired words about living a truly blessed life as a disciple and about the healing power of forgiveness. Finally, we will join the disciples and apostles to learn Jesus’ plan for His glorious church.
SERIES 1: THE POWER OF FORGIVENESSThis series, “The Power of Forgiveness,” shows the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ on display through several accounts in the Gospels. These lessons highlight the authority of Jesus to forgive, His desire to forgive and not condemn, His command that we forgive others, and the hope that as long as we have breath, we can find a place of forgiveness. This series will help us activate the power of forgiveness in us and through us.
SERIES 2: KINGDOM LIVINGThis series, “Kingdom Living,” looks closely at the Sermon on the Mount and the way Jesus calls us to live as His disciples. These lessons will investigate the life God blesses, the mission of every disciple, the disciplines of a disciple, the importance of seeking first the Kingdom, and the priority of obedience. The truths highlighted in the teachings of Jesus on the mount are crucial for the life and spiritual health of every believer. This series will encourage us to live as children of the King.
SERIES 3: A GLORIOUS CHURCHThis series, “A Glorious Church,” presents the church as one of God’s greatest gifts to His people. These lessons will show God’s plans for His church by declaring He would build His church, the purpose of the church, the church in action, and the beautiful bride of Christ. This series will give us a greater appreciation for the church and the important role it should play in our lives. Jesus is coming soon. And when He returns, He is coming for a glorious church.
