This Sunday school lesson was taught by Dr. Wayne Sehmish. The following are very brief statements from his lesson. In 1 Sam 7:15-17, Samuel had a circuit that he travelled every year that was very predictable. He had a routine. Like Jesus, he did things that were “his custom.” It’s...
Tonight we’re going to study some things about the rod of God. To do this, we must look at quite a few scriptures, before we can make an application to our lives as Christians living in the world. In Ex 4:2 the Lord asked Moses what was in his hand. ...
We’re studying the character of David as a young man to be an encouragement to our young men to be like him. David was Jesse’s youngest son. He kept his father’s sheep. When David’s three older brothers went into battle with Saul, David stayed home and kept the sheep [1...
When you read the Acts of the Apostles and the epistles of Paul, you see that the bulk of the preaching of the gospel was done by the men that God called to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. In Paul’s epistles, you don’t see much instruction to the...

In 1 Pet 3:1-6, Peter tells a wife how to win her disobedient husband. Disobedient husbands are “any who obey not the word,” [1 Pet 3:1]. The best opportunity she has to “turn him” is by following what Peter wrote, not by doing what she “feels” is right. Nevertheless, whether...
