Adult Bible Studies Summer 2016 Student

<p><strong>Summer theme:<br /><br />Toward a New Creation<br /><br />Genesis, Psalms, Zephaniah, Romans</strong><br /><br />This summer, lessons in <em>Adult Bible Studies</em> follow the theme, “Toward a New Creation.” The student book writer is Clara Welch; Mark Price is the writer for the teacher book.</p><br /><p><strong>Judgement and Salvation</strong><br /><br />The quarter’s first four lessons deal with the concept of the day of the Lord, the consequences of disobedience, assurances and joy for the faithful, and the consequences of ignoring God’s truth. Scriptures come from Genesis, Zephaniah, Psalm 8, and Romans 1.</p><br /><p><strong>A World Gone Wrong</strong><br /><br />The first lesson in this unit leads us to consider God’s truth within us, while the second lesson reminds us of sin’s power. The third lesson celebrates that God has set things right, while the next lesson reminds us that we are not without hope. Scriptures come from the Book of Romans.</p><br /><p><strong>Left on God’s Terms</strong><br /><br />The five lessons that conclude this quarter’s study lead us to discover how death becomes life, how we are safe in God’s love, what it means to live under God’s mercy, how God prunes and grafts us into God’s family, and how love fulfills the law. Scriptures again come from the Book of Romans.</p><br /><p>Based on the <em>Uniform Series</em>, this quarterly study presents stimulating lessons that explore the biblical message and how to apply it to daily life.
