SUNDAY SCHOOL HI-LITES
My name is Bonnie Scott.  I teach 2nd and 3rd graders.  I’ve been a Sunday School teacher for thirteen years and I’m loving every minute of it.
My main emphasis is teaching my students the books of the Bible, old and new. We are learning that The Bible, (a Library of smaller books) is broken up into parts. The Old Testament has The Law, History, Poetry, Major Prophets and Minor Prophets. The New Testament has the Gospels, History, Letters to the Church, by Paul, letters to others by Paul, General Letters, and Prophecy. We are also learning about the Table of Contents and we use the same type Bible for all of my students, so it is easier for them to learn.
My goal is that when they go to the 4th grade class they will have a better knowledge of their Bible, its characters, references, dictionary, and maps.  Oh! We also have a snack, do art projects and play games too.

Thanks for attending First Christian today. Please come again!

LION KING Rev. 5:1-10 (Good Friday 2010)

Posted on April 2, 2010 
Filed Under Pastor's Blog, Sermons, Uncategorized

“I began to weep because no one was found worthy to open the scroll.” The cross is a moment of great desperation. The struggle between heaven and hell, life and death, sin and righteousness. It is the violent act whereby God wrestles us from the clutches of Satan.

The apostle John begins to weep bitterly at the idea that no one is worthy or able to unravel the scroll. As if the deep mysteries of God are tightly woven within it. The scroll is the future; inaccessible, unobtainable, beyond the limits of our reach.

“Behold, the loin of the tribe of Judah has overcome so he can open the scroll. It is through the cross that Christ unlocks the future. He is the key to our destiny. The cross is not the place of loss but the means of gain.

“And I saw between the throne, a lamb, as if slain.” The loin became a lamb. Do not be deceived. As a lamb the lion is pure and undefiled. The cross wounded him but it did not tame him. Even now, he bears the scars. And he will for an eternity. It echoes a harsh reminder of the sting of death and the penalty for sin. He fore bore our iniquities, he was wounded for our transgressions.

Our savior is a ferocious warrior who will not be defeated. On the cross he won the day and made a way for us into the future. The crucifixion is the day the lion became a lamb and won the day for man.        WHB

It is our privilege to teach the Sr High girls. The class is for 9th-12th grade girls. We are currently studying the Book of James. Our goals are to familiarize the students with the book and person of James. To help students understand
that we all have common issues we must deal with. To equip students with what they need to overcome and learn from their issues. The topics we will be studying are; Burdens, Difficulties, Temptation and Trials. Our class is quite small. So if you know of any girls that are in 9th – 12th grade, please invite them to join us.  We would love to have them.
