For January 4, 2009

Reading Selections and Questions for Sunday, January 4th, 2009.

1) 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 (This is the focal passage for our lesson.)
What is the main topic of this passage? How were these issues of particular importance to the people Paul was writing to? How are they important to us today?

2) 1 Corinthians 6:13b-19
What reasons does Paul give to avoid sexual immorality?
1 Thessalonians 4:3-6
What practical advice does Paul give to avoid sexual immorality?

3) 1 Thessalonians 4:1-2
What does it take to please God?
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
What does living a quiet life mean to you?
How well do these verses describe your life?

4) Ephesians 4:17-23
What does Paul teach about sexual immorality in these verses?
How is your new self in Christ different from your old self?

See you in class!

Here's the plan!

Here's the plan for using this preparedness schedule. Each week I will post 4 readings with questions. You can do one each day or all in one day. Choose whatever fits your personal schedule best and makes you most successful at keeping your commitment.
Read the passages. Answer the questions. Make a note of any questions you have about the Bible passages. (You can even post your questions to me by way of this blog, if you would like.) Then, you will be prepared.
Along with posting the readings and questions on this blog, I will pass the next week's out during class time each Sunday. If you miss class, you can still keep connected to what we are learning and discussing by using this blog.
This is a work in progress. I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions!
Thanks.

Why nabc-prepared?

Welcome to nabc-prepared, the best spot to stay connected to North Addison Baptist Church's Young Adult Sunday School class. Each week, I will post 4 Scripture passages and questions to enhance our class time together.

Why call it nabc-prepared? If you read the Scriptures and consider the questions before class time each week, you will be prepared for what we are studying. Also, you can use this forum to share your questions with me. That way, I can be prepared to help you find answers during class. Beyond all that, our goal is to become prepared as believers -- prepared to face every challenge in God's will; prepared to share God's love with others in every situation. We want to put in the time to be prepared for all God has in store for us in His kingdom.

So, welcome to nabc-prepared! I hope this blog will help you always stay prepared!
