The lesson below will be used on Sunday 8 October in our church Sunday School's class to stimulate our people to consider what they have read and discuss what they have learned.
Lesson # 41 One Year 365 Bible Class (read2-8 Oct) VBC 8
October 2017
Mon- 2 Isaiah 66:1-24; How does God describe God? How do
you see His attributes in the reading and in your life? Philippians 3:4-2; Have you written out your
"Personal Testimony"? Husbands, men have you said v17 to your family?
Don't go to the church, get right at home FIRST, then tell someone else. Psalms
74:1-123; When you pray how often do you adore God before you confess your
sins? Proverbs 24:15-16; All will fall.
Who will pick you up?
Jeremiah; Halley's Bible Handbook, Classic
Edition, pg 307, God's Final Effort to Save Jerusalem. Jeremiah lived about a
hundred years after Isaiah. Isaiah had saved Jerusalem from Assyria. Jeremiah tried
to save it from Babylon, but failed.
"Jeremiah was called to the prophetic office (626B.C.); Jerusalem
was partly destroyed (606), further devastated (597); finally burned and
desolated (586). Jeremiah lived through
these terrible forty years, "the close of the monarchy," "the
death agony of a nation"; a pathetic , lonely figure, God's last measure
to the Holy City which had become hopelessly and fanatically attached to Idols;
carelessly crying that if they would repent God would save them from Babylon. Thus, as Assyria had been the background of
Isaiah's ministry, so Babylon was the background of Jeremiah's ministry."
Tue- 3 Jeremiah 1:1-2:30; What traits, attributes and promises
of God did you see today? How is John
3:12 demonstrated today? What evils have you committed today? Philippians
4:1-23; What advice did you take away from these verses? Psalm 75:1-10; How is
stewardship described today? Proverbs 24:17-20; How is Psalm 73 & 37 shown
today? What promise did God make to the lost man?
Wed- 4 Jeremiah 2:31-4:18; How did Judah forget God? How
does this impact your concept of God? What promises did God offer? What
conditions did God outline to be followed? Colossians 1:-19; Have you ever
written a letter like this? If not, why not? Have you prayed this as a prayer
to your Lord? Psalm 76:1-12; How does this remind you of Noah? What present(s)
have you brought to God? Proverbs 24:21-22; How ought man to mind his business?
Colossians is one of the four epistles penned
by Paul while in prison and the accepted theme is given at verse 3:11
"Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."
Some key words are: mystery, knowledge, wisdom, fulness, perfect, all, faith, body,
love and prayer. Consider v2:20 and 3:1 and meditate on these facts.
Thu- 5 Jeremiah 4:19-6:14; How does what you hear bother you
that you pray as did Jeremiah? What impact did v5:30 have on your prayer life?
How did God describe His feelings at v6:9-14? Colossians 1:20-2:7; What favor
did Jesus do for you? Is v2:6-7 so in your life? Psalm 77:1-20; Do you read,
stop, pause and re-read when you see Selah? Proverbs 24:23-25; Do you have
these things in your daily life?
Fri-6 Jeremiah 6:15-8:7; When was the last time you were
ashamed and blushed because of your sins? How have you amended your ways
because you have read to know God? How sad to you are v7:16 and v23-24?
Colossians 2:8-23; What protects you from being spoiled by vain deceit? How did
the operation of God changed your life? Psalm 78:1-25; What did your father
tell you about God? What have you told others about God and His ways? Proverbs
24:26; How do you respond to this directive?
How do we / can we or may we magnify The Lord Jesus Christ in and by our daily
conversation? How can any believer please God when Christ is not our life, our
pattern, our goal and our sufficiency? Read and believe God. What are your goalsl
/hopes and dreams? How has your reading
impacted your prayer life? What have you prayed?
Sat- 7 Jeremiah 8:8-9:26; How did you see the similarity
of Revelation 3:14-22 today? How many "woes" did you say/see today?
What promise did you hear at v9:15-16? What admonition did you learn from
v9:23-26? Colossians 3:1-17; How did
this support 2Corinthians 5:17-21? Psalm
78:26-58; How does the heart dictate the conduct of man? Proverbs 24:27; How does this teach

children? How do you apply v72 in your life? Proverbs 24:28-29; Why and when do
we forgive?
**** Christ first coming to earth was a crucial event in
the world history; His second coming will be a climatic event. He came the
first time to die and be raised to life.
When He comes again, it will be to gather to Himself those saved by His
death. Paul sums up all the joys and
glories of this ingathering by saying simply, "And thus shall we be with
the Lord (1Thess.4:17). It had to be a
thrilling experience for the apostle to write the Thessalonians letters' and
share such a message. 1Thessalonians:
The Lord Jesus is coming again.
2Thessalonians: He has not come yet.

the New Testament, pg143
