‘NET CHECK

When Jesus came to Earth and died for our sins, He didn’t only do it because He wanted to forgive our sins. He had a

greater motive than that. Jesus died so that we could inherit eternal life. Eternal life means just what it sounds like, living

forever. So, does this mean we will live forever in this life? No. But it does mean that we will be allowed to live forever in

heaven with God.

In a few sentences below, explain why you believe that God wants to give us eternal life:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Everyone either goes to heaven or hell when they die. We have the opportunity to follow Jesus and believe that He was

the Son of God who rose from the dead to save us from our sins. If we do not believe this, then we take on the burden of

paying for our sins forever in a terrible place instead of enjoying peace with God in heaven. The decision is yours. What

will you choose?

Jesus taught in many different ways. He was very wise because He taught different people with different methods that

matched their individual learning styles. For instance, Jesus taught many times using parables, which are like stories that

didn’t actually happen but that help give an example of the point of His teaching. The disciples even asked Jesus, in

Matthew 13, why He taught using parables. Jesus also taught by using the Old Testament Scriptures, helping those to

whom He was preaching to understand the meaning of some of the passages.

In the space below, write your reasons for why you think Jesus taught in parables. Look in Matthew 13 for Jesus’ answer!

‘NET CHECK

Peter was one of the most influential disciples that Jesus called. Matthew 4:18 is the first encounter we have with Peter

in the Bible. Peter was a passionate man who loved Jesus very much. When Jesus was being arrested, Peter tried to

defend Jesus by cutting off one of the guard’s ears, which would certainly mean death. But Jesus healed the man’s ear

and reprimanded Peter for his actions. But Peter wasn’t without his flaws. That same weekend that Jesus was arrested,

Peter was asked three different times whether or not he knew Jesus. All three times, he denied having any association

with Jesus because he would have been in big trouble. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension into heaven, Peter helped

advance the ministry that Jesus had left behind.

Look through the New Testament and find some things that Peter did for God’s Kingdom. In the space below, write

down ways that you could model your life and ministry to others like Peter did. In other words, how can you live out

what you believe so others can see and do the same?

‘NET CHECK

The John who wrote Revelation was the same John who wrote the book of John. He was a disciple of Jesus. After Jesus’

death, John was sentenced by Rome to be exiled on an island called Patmos because of his faith. It was on this island

that John received this vision. The book of Revelation sounds nothing short of a sci-fi movie in many places. John writes

about things that even he has a hard time describing because of their beauty and holiness. In this book, John writes

about heaven and about the end of time and all things to come.

Based on what you read today, why do you think the book of Revelation is important? Use the space below to write your

answer.

‘NET CHECK

You can probably tell from today’s lesson that worship is a very important part of having a relationship with the Lord.

There is not one right or wrong way to worship God. As long as what we are doing to honor Him gives Him glory, then

we shouldn’t worry about what others think about our worship. Maybe you worship best when you are by yourself or

singing in the car. Maybe you worship best by praying out loud when you are walking to class. Whatever it is that we do

to worship, we should remember that worship is what we will be doing forever and ever in heaven with the rest of God’s

people.

In the space below, write down ways that you like to worship. Are there any unique ways that you can think of to give

God glory?

Lesson 6




1. The Israelites gave with a (hateful, willing, remorseful) heart.

2. The Israelites brought their (least, cool, best) possessions to give.

3. The (tabernacle, synagogue, church) was being decorated.

4. We should not give (reluctantly, generously, lovingly) back to God.

5. The one who sows (foolishly, angrily, bountifully) will be blessed.

‘NET CHECK

The tabernacle very sacred to the people. The tabernacle was the first thing that the people put together to worship

God after He rescued and freed them from the Egyptians. When the people were wandering in the desert after their

escape, they needed a place where they could worship God and make offerings and sacrifices to Him. So, God gave them

instructions for how to build a place where His presence would always be. There were different rooms for different

things. The interesting thing about the tabernacle is that it could be taken down and reassembled anywhere. The people

needed this because they were nomadic, which means that they never stayed in the same place for a long time. Once

the construction was complete, we see the people giving back to God to decorate His tabernacle.

In the space below, briefly describe ways that you could help your church, and give back to it, without giving actual

money.

‘NET CHECK

It may seem easy to discredit this story as being too old because it talks about Israel giving back to God actual animals or

a part of their harvest. But you should also know that it is your responsibility as a Christian to be able to apply these

types of lessons and commands to today’s world. Back when this was written, the only type of income that most of

these people had was their harvest. A harvest is a time when all of the plants and crops have fully grown and are ready

to be collected. This can be a strange concept to us, but we have a harvest, too. Every time you get paid, or someone

gives you money, this is your harvest. You are collecting something that God has given you. So, it is your responsibility to

give back to God, just as the Israelites did.

When do you think your next “harvest” will be? In the space below, write out ways that you can give back to God some

of the things that He has given you.

‘NET CHECK

God has given us every single thing that we have, even the air that we breathe. He wants us to be the caretakers of His

creation. He gives us things, and depending on how responsible we are with them, He will give us more. Because God

knows His creation, He also knows how to take care of it. When God gives us something, He doesn’t want us to overuse

it, whether that be a job, money, or land. Some people work more than they should, and some spend more than they

should. Regardless, everything we have should be used in moderation or it will get ruined. Conserving what we have, like

saving money or using our time wisely, means that we are being good stewards with God’s things.

How can you be better at conserving your money or time? What are some things you need to work on? Are you too

busy? Do you spend all of your money as soon as you get it? In the space below, write down your thoughts.

Proverbs 9:10 says that to fear the Lord is to be wise. But what does it mean to fear the Lord? Should we walk around

scared that God is going to hurt or attack us? Of course not. In fact, it means quite the opposite. When we fear the Lord,

we fear that if we step outside of what He wants for us and His rules, then we are putting ourselves in a bad place that

will eventually lead to failure. God only wants what is best for us, so we should fear Him because He is powerful. It is

similar to obeying your parents because you are scared of the punishment of doing wrong against them.

What are some ways that you can fear the Lord? How might you change your daily routine to do His will over your own?

In the space below, write out your ideas.

‘NET CHECK

It is interesting to think about where mercy comes from. Mercy was created by God after man sinned for the first time.

There was a need for mercy because without it, all would be lost. The story of the Bible is about Jesus. Every book points

toward His life. The story of Jesus is about mercy and grace for us. So, that means that the whole Bible is a book of

mercy. But what does real mercy look like? At its core, mercy is giving someone forgiveness and grace, even if he or she

does not deserve it. To give mercy is to give something that the other person receiving it can’t give themselves. Because

we have been given mercy, we should give it to others. When others do wrong against us, it is natural to react in self-

defense and want to get back at them. But if we have mercy on them, then we are showing them forgiveness.

Why do you think it is important to have mercy on others? In the space below, write down ways that you can show

mercy to people in your life.

Lesson 11




1. Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven is like someone who sowed (bad, good, small) seeds in a field.

2. The good wheat represents (Christians, non-Christians, the devil).

3. The (seeds, weeds, wheat) will be saved.

4. The (weeds, servants, farmers) represent non-Christians.

5. The master represents (us, God, Matthew).

‘NET CHECK

1 Thessalonians chapter 1 gives us a great understanding of God’s place as Judge and how He gives out justice. In our

story today, we see that God doesn’t care about what someone looks like on the outside; it is what is in the heart that

matters. One day, God will right all wrongs, and He will judge all people according to their heart and faith. In our world,

there is a lot of corrupt justice and people who do not get the punishments that they deserve. But God sees these, and

He handles each of them according to what He knows is right.

Look up the first chapter in 1 Thessalonians. In the space below, write down some of the ways God gives justice and

mercy.

‘NET CHECK

During the time of Jesus, there were two groups of religious leaders, the Pharisees and the Sadducees. They were both

Jewish religious leaders, but they had differing beliefs when it came to understanding the Torah, which is the first five

books of the Bible. Both hated Jesus because He was taking away many of their Jewish followers. The Pharisees believed

that tradition was just as important as God’s Law. With this understanding, they were able to impose their own

traditions on the people and make a lot of money. Jesus taking their followers meant they were losing money. The

Pharisees and Jesus are seen throughout His ministry disagreeing. They believed that by making their own rules, they

could be successful.

You may know some “Pharisees” in your own life. In the space below, write down some ways that you can pray for them

and talk to them about having a true love for the Lord.

‘NET CHECK

When you were younger, you probably learned nursery rhymes or fantasy stories that you loved to read. While these

stories seemed just fun for you at the time, they were also helping you learn simple, valuable life lessons. Of course,

none of these were true. But you were still able to learn from them. Jesus knew that this method of teaching was

effective. So, this is the way that He taught more often than not. These stories are called parables. All throughout Jesus’

ministry, we see that people came to know Him through this method of teaching.

What is your favorite parable? Look through the books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke to find them. When you find your

favorite, write down in the space below the main lesson of that parable and how you can apply it.
