Lesson Aim: To emphasis the importance of faith and encourage active and practical application of faith.

Faith is a must for successful Kingdom living. We all have a measure of faith (Romans 12:3). We receive it from God when we become a new creation in Him. When you accepted Christ, you were immediately enrolled in the “school of faith.” School is where we learn and grow. It is where we

Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Memory Verse: “But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:2

Scripture Text: Genesis 3:1-7

Memory Verse: “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11

Lesson Aim: To expose how the enemy attacks our minds.

Let’s look at the specific strategies that Satan uses to attack us. It was in the battle of the mind that Satan defeated Eve. First, the enemy deceives us and casts doubt into our minds about God’s Word. Satan knew that God had commanded Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but he planted doubt in Eve’s mind.

Scripture Text: Romans 7:14-25

Memory Verse: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37

Lesson Aim: To help us recognize the importance of our minds and the significance of the battle of the mind.

God created man with incredible mental faculties. Before the fall, Adam had a perfect body, with a magnificent brain. He was fearfully and wonderfully made. Of all God’s creation, man is the only one that shares God’s image, including the ability to think and be creative.

Scripture Text: John 1:1-14

Memory Verse: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.”  John 1:1

Lesson Aim: To highlight the importance and power of the Word in the life of the believer.

The memory verse speaks of the “Word” that was in the beginning, that was with and that was God. The Word embodies the personage, character, plan, and eternal purpose of God which will never fail, for it is the very expression of God Himself. John 1:14 also states that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 65:17-25

Memory Verse: “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25:34)

Introduction: It is indeed satisfying to meditate on the rewards that God has in store for those who come to Him through Christ Jesus. There is first the reward of eternal life. What else does mankind desire as much as even fleeting and temporary life? Of all our possessions, we try most desperately to retain this life. This present life may be beautiful,

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-20

Memory Verse: “But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)

Introduction: The first fruit is the very earliest or very first of the harvest of that which follows. In ancient times, also, the firstborn son was often given special recognition and double inheritance. Jesus Christ is called the “first fruits of them that slept.” In speaking of the resurrection of the dead, Christ is called the “first fruits” of the resurrection, “afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” (1 Corinthians 15:23). At

Scripture Reading: John 20:19-31

Memory Verse: “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:14)

Introduction: “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14). The significant extent of Christ’s bodily resurrection to the Christian faith is that if Jesus was not resurrected, there will be no resurrection for mankind (1 Corinthians 15:12-13). Certainly, our Savior was resurrected! All anxiety and doubt should be dispelled by the truth of God’s record of this miraculous event and by a living experience with the risen Christ.

“He is not here:

Memory Verse: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Introduction: After studying some of the very basic and simple concepts of Christianity in this series of lessons, who could say that we do not stand in dire need of revival? Many of us have felt the chilling winds of orthodoxy cooling our ardor for God. Too often we have
