Scripture Text: John 14:5-26

Memory Verse: Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5

Lesson Aim: To identify the purpose of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and its impact on recipients.

We read in Hebrews 6:4-5 that those who have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit have tasted the powers of the world to come. We have been brought into contact with a power that belongs to the next age, but that is available to us now.

The Holy Spirit is the power of God (Luke 1:35). The Spirit is first mentioned in Genesis 1:2. There the Spirit of God is involved in creating the heaven and the earth and everything else that is in them.

The Ten Commandments – Lesson 14: The Ten Commandments and Justification by Grace through Faith

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17

Scripture Reading: Galatians 5:1-15

Memory Verse: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Introduction:

In these studies, we have said that the Ten Commandments law is a mirror that leads us to recognize the inability of our own efforts to live according to the perfection that God expects.

We have studied that law and learned its complexity and the high standards

The Ten Commandments – Lesson 13: The Perpetuity of the Ten Commandments

Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12

Scripture Reading: Psalm 89:1-8, 27-37

Memory Verse: The works of His hands are verity and justice; all His precepts are sure. They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. Psalm 111:7-8

These lessons have assumed that the Ten Commandments are in effect today. What does Scripture tell us about their permanence? How do we know that they are intended for all time, including under the New Covenant? Why do some Christian

The Ten Commandments – Lesson 12: The Tenth Commandment

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s” Exodus 20:17

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:12-19

Memory Verse: Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephesians 4:29

Introduction:

A witness is one who is supposed to have first-hand knowledge and who can testify concerning an event. To be of any value in helping arrive at proper conclusions, witnesses must tell the truth. In court today witnesses are asked to promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This is

The Ten Commandments – Lesson 10: The Eighth Commandment

“You shall not steal.” Exodus 20:15

Scripture Reading: Joshua 7:10-22

Memory Verse: A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1

Introduction:

The eighth commandment indirectly establishes private ownership. God’s forbidding one man to take something from another establishes the right of man to “have and to hold.” This is one of the principles of economics.

The God-given right to possess things for our very own has been recognized from the beginning. At creation, God gave the world and its resources to mankind. The man and the woman were

“You shall not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14

Scripture Reading: John 8:1-11

Memory Verse: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

Introduction:

The Bible teaches a high view of marriage, including the physical enjoyment from the union. It comes to us as a creation ordinance. Marriage is the LORD’s design for the continuance of the human race. Marriage is not to be entered into lightly. A man leaves his mother and father and is joined to his wife and the two become one flesh in a covenant relationship under God.

After the sin of Adam,

The Ten Commandments – Lesson 8: The Sixth Commandment

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.’ And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.” Matthew 5:21-22

Introduction:

Man was created in the image of God. We honor God by

The Ten Commandments – Lesson 7: The Fifth Commandment

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12

Scripture Reading: Mark 7:1-12

The fifth commandment directs us to honor our parents. It is most certainly deserving of this place in the commandments. God knew that the welfare of mankind depended,
