I made haste and did not delay to keep Your commandments.”   Key Thought - Do the math and take God’s path.   Lesson Summary – Today’s lesson was the third lesson of a four-part series called The Hunt: Discovering the Treasure of God’s Word. In this series, we are examining not only the treasures within God’s Word but how God’s Word is a map to find those treasures. This lesson taught your student why God’s path is the best path for life. We considered a word equation found in Psalm 119. It starts with the knowledge that God’s character is good. He has no evil or darkness inside Him at all. Then, we added in the fact that God’s commands are good. They are not burden...

   Objective Students will learn that God corrects those He loves, and they will be challenged to find joy during times of chastening.   Key Scripture Hebrews 12:5-6 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.”   Key Thought Discipline is never easy, but it’s always good.   Lesson Summary Today’s lesson was the fourth lesson of a four-part series called, Road Trip – Destination: Holiness. In this series, we have been taking a road trip of sorts that is guided by the Word of God.
