SUNDAY SCHOOL
These are the 7 reasons why I think Sunday
School is important.
1. It provides a basic systematic study of the
scriptures at a level of understanding for that age
group.
2. It allows a time for its members to dialogue and share about their
needs with others in similar life situations.
3. It provides an opportunity for personal application of the scriptures based on the age level of the
class.
4. It provides for fellowship and a sense of belonging for each member of the class.
5. It provides a platform for people to serve the Lord through teaching and administration.
6. It is a training ground for young Christians to be more productive in their church and gives
them the opportunity to develop their skills and talents for the Lord.
7. It allows members to invite others who would not otherwise attend Sunday School without the
invitation. But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the king-
dom of God belongs to such as these. Mark 4 :10.

Reviving Our Confidence in God
David’s confidence was based upon the care God had provided for him in the past. “When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell” (Psa. 27:2). As a shepherd, David had experienced the at-tack of lions that would certainly eat up one’s flesh. However, often the attack of enemies is likened to that of ferocious animals. David’s enemies could not suc-ceed. It was they who stumbled and fell. David under-stood that his salvation was not due to his own strength or skill as a warrior but to the protection of God! David was unafraid. It mattered not whether it was a host that encamped against him to make war against him, he would remain confident “Though an army may en-camp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, In this I will be confi-dent” (Psa. 27:3). This same confidence can be had by the child of God today. Paul told his young friend Timothy, “For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day” (II Tim. 1:12, NKJV). In the NASB the latter part of this verse is ren-dered “I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day” (II Tim. 1:12). David’s confidence in God was due in part to the fact that he had his heart centered on one thing, and that is vitally important. ““One thing I have de-sired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple” (Psa. 27:4, NKJV). Some times we can become so scattered in our desires that we are never able to accomplish anything. Sometimes we may hear of some person the expression, “he is jack of all trades and a master of none.” Such a person may know a little about many things but he has never centered on one thing to really become a master of it. If we are not care-ful we may never center ourselves on spiritual things to have ourselves become proficient in that which really matters. In the Old Testament we read of a man who was given one responsibility but because he became intrigued with other things he failed in that one respon-sibility and paid the penalty for it. “And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver 40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judg-ment be; thyself hast decided it” (1Kings 20:39, 40).
