Junior High Sunday School Session 1 {0}
This Quarter Chip Prins is leading the Junior High Sunday School Class through a study called Knowing The God Who Is. Included in this study are weekly devotional helps. I’ll post these the week leading up to Sunday School. Please encourage your son or daughter to work through these, even better work through these with your son or daughter.
Session 1
Q. How do we know God exists?
A. God exists and reveals his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—in creation.
Creation is not the only way we know God exists. God’s Word and the Holy Spirit also reveal his existence. This is the way Larger Catechism puts it:
The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God; but his Word and Spirit only do sufficiently and effectually reveal him unto men for their salvation. (Answer 2)
Read Psalm 19:1–3.
What in these verses declares the glory of God and what proclaims his handiwork? How does this relate to Romans 1?
Read Acts 17:26–31.
God made every nation from one man, Adam, for what purpose (vs. 27)?
What does verse 29 tell us that we are NOT to think about God?
What does God command all people everywhere in verse 30?
Read 1 Corinthians 2:6–13.
Write out verses 9–10 on an index card or in your notebook. Read them each day, and soon these promises will be hidden in your heart.
Read 2 Timothy 3:12–17.
Make a list of what you learn about Scripture from these verses.
Read Isaiah 59:21.
What does God promise in his covenant with believers about his Spirit and his Word?
Wrap it up in prayer:
Thank God for clearly revealing himself in creation, through his Word, and through his Spirit.
Thank God for the grace he has shown to you through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice to pay for your sins.
Pray for someone who does not trust in Christ for salvation.
