Sing It
ELEMENTARY LESSONS:
MEMORY VERSE:
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:14
Week 1: Jesus came to fulfill a promise.
Synopsis: Mary’s song praises God for His mercy & faithfulness. We will take a look at her story, and see how the words of her worshipful song reveal the glory of what God accomplished through Jesus.
Scripture: Luke 1:46-56, Mary's Song
Week 2: Jesus came to save humanity.
Synopsis: Zechariah’s song praises God for keeping His promises. Let’s find out who Zechariah was, and examine the truths that are revealed through his words about God’s Messiah.
Scripture: Luke 1:67-80, Zechariah's Song
Week 3: Jesus came to bring peace.
Synopsis: The angels sing of glory to God & praise Him for bringing peace on earth. We’ll look at the story of the Shepherds and focus on the significance of why the angels sang proclamations of glory and peace.
Scripture: Luke 2:14, The Angels' Song
Week 4: Jesus came to reveal God's truth to everyone.
Synopsis: Simeon’s words aren’t technically referred to as a “song.” We’re talking a little poetic license here. His words were an outburst of praise to God upon seeing the baby Jesus. (That qualifies as a song.) Simeon praised God for fulfilling His covenant with Abraham to bless all people through Israel. Tell the story of Simeon and Anna, and focus on the significance of Simeon’s words of praise.
Scripture: Luke 2:29-32, Simeon's Song
Week 5 [SPECIAL NEW YEAR'S LESSON]: Always Leveling Up
God's Work In Us Never Ends
Synopsis: This stand-alone lesson on 2 Corinthians 3:18, focuses on the idea of “Ever increasing glory.” God’s transformational work in our lives is constant and never-ending. We never arrive, but continually grow closer to God. As we do so, we continually experience newer and greater levels of spiritual growth and faith in Jesus.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18, The Greater Glory of the New Covenant
