Adult Sunday School – 2019

In 2019 the Arborg Christian Fellowship class for Adults is studying the Kingdom of Heaven as Jesus described it in the book of Matthew.

Here are the things that we’ve learned so far:

  • It is appropriate to repent in perpetration for it (Mat 4:17)
  • It was eminent (Mat 4:17)
  • Those who are humble like the poor (poor in spirit) will inherit it (Mat 5:3)
  • Those who are persecuted for the kingdom will inherit it (Mat 5:10-12)
  • Not everyone who has done miracles or good things in the name of Jesus will enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven (Mat 7:21)
  • The Kingdom of Heaven is Matthew’s equivalent to the Kingdom of God
  • Not everyone wants to hear about it (Mat 10:16-25)
  • Was announced only to Israel (Mat 10:5-6)
  • The ranking of people in the Kingdom of Heaven is not like anything here on earth (Mat 11:11)
  • God sees and values the tiny and quiet and insignificant and unnoticed (Mat 11:11)

Memory verses for the year are:

Date Verse
Sept 20 Romans 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. (NIV)
Sept 27 Romans 8:3-4 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. (NIV)
Oct 4 Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. (NIV)
Oct 11 Romans 8:28-30 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. (NIV)
Oct 18 Romans 8:31-32 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (NIV)
Oct 25 Romans 8:31-32 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (NIV)
Nov 1 Romans 8:33-35 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? (NIV)
Nov 8 Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)
Nov 15 Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (NIV)
Nov 22 Psalm 32:1-2 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. (NIV)
Nov 29 Psalm 111:2-3 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.(NIV)
Dec 6 Psalm 111:4-5 He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate. He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. (NIV)
Dec 13 Psalm 111:7-8 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy. They are steadfast for ever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness. (NIV)
