What’s in Store THIS QUARTER
This quarter continues the theme Chosen, Not Choice
and the peculiarity of God’s calling, which is rooted in grace rather than in humankind’s merit.
UNIT I—GOD’S PROMISES
Unit I, God’s Promises,
contains five lessons from 2 Chronicles, Isaiah, and Joel that remind us that we can trust God to keep God’s Word. In Lesson 1, as Solomon’s Temple is being dedicated in 2 Chronicles, God promises to hear from heaven and forgive the people in response to their prayers of repentance. The next three lessons are from Isaiah. Lesson 2 is the celebrated passage that proclaims God’s people are waterproof and fireproof because of God’s promised protection. Lesson 3 speaks to an obstinate people whose future God knows and declares. The final lesson from Isaiah contrasts ritual performance with true penitence coupled with acts of justice. The unit concludes with Lesson 5 as the prophet Joel declares God’s promise to be present and restore the chosen people after a time of distress.
Unit Points of Emphasis _____________________________________
UNIT II—GOD’S CALL AND ITS RESPONSIBILITIES
Unit II, God’s Call and Its Responsibilities,
has four lessons from 1 Corinthians, 2 Timothy, James, and 1 Peter. These lessons teach us that God’s call—and the responsibilities of that call—is without regard to an individual’s past. Lesson 6 reminds us that God’s wisdom is foolishness to people because God chooses those who are neither wise, or powerful, or of noble birth. In Lesson 7, Paul’s final letter brims with emotion as he encourages Timothy to embrace the suffering that accompanies the gospel, which is the responsibility of those who are called with a holy calling. Lesson 8 warns against showing favoritism to those wearing fine clothes because in God’s economy, the poor receive God’s blessing. Finally, Lesson 9 challenges us to check our attitudes and live as chosen, royal, holy people who have been called out of darkness into God’s marvelous light.
Unit Points of Emphasis _____________________________________
UNIT III—CALLED FROM THE MARGINS OF SOCIETY
Unit III, Called from the Margins of Society,
highlights accounts where Jesus disregards artificial societal barriers, choosing instead to reach people on the margins. Lesson 10, from Luke examines Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, who was restored to a place of honor in his father’s home despite his indulgence in life’s pleasure that left him destitute. In Lesson 11, drawn from Matthew, Jesus turns society’s preferences upside-down as he declares a child as greatest.
Lesson 12, from John’s Gospel, examines Jesus’ encounter with an outcast Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. Lesson 13 explores Jesus’ healing of man possessed by a legion of demons in the Gospel of Mark.

4. Scripture Reading: Psalm 1, KJV
Director: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
School: But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night..
Director: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
School: The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Director: Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
All: For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Recitation in Concert:
John 3:1–8 (KJV)
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no
