Sunday School

Two more questions: What is Sunday School, & Isn’t it only for children?

Sunday School is the intentional, systematic study of the Bible in a small group setting. The study of the Bible may be verse-by-verse or section-by-section, or by topic or principle.

If, as an adult or teenager, you are not in a Sunday School class at SNMBC, I want to give you something to think about. The Bible is God’s “love letter” to His children, and it is marvelously beneficial for every one of us. God uses the Bible to tell us about Himself and His ways, and about us and our ways. God uses it to tell us when we are wrong, how to get going in the right direction, and what God-blessed, abundant living truly is. That is what 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” That sounds like something that would be good for any one of us, regardless of age.

I invite you to join in a Sunday School class this week. We start a new series of classes this very Sunday, March 1st. “Now” is always the best time to grow in love and knowledge of our Lord, Jesus. I will be leading one of the adult classes, and if you are past high school age, I would love for you to take part. We will be studying the book of Romans in the gym.

I’ll close with these words: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong.” Did you know that song was written before the Civil War by two sisters who taught Sunday School to the cadets at West Point, young men preparing to fight and possibly die to defend America? Sunday School truly is for all ages.
