A 4-Week Unit on Lessons Learned from the Pauline Epistles
(Part of our Crossroads 7th-12th Grade Curriculum)
Suggested Calendar: July 7 - July 28
Philippi, Corinth, Thessalonica, Ephesus, Colossae, Rome, Galatia - what do all these places have in common? St. Paul visited each one proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ. Many of these letters were sent with St. Paul sitting in a home prison in Rome, but all had an important message to the early churches. These messages included lessons pertaining to Spiritual Warfare, how to guard against sin, how to treat one another, remembering the power of our Lord God and Savior, among many others. Among all his lessons is one common theme: the righteousness of God. St. Paul gladly forsook himself to become a bondservant of Christ. God willing, by the end of this month, our teens will see why and what that means.
"For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?
For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." Galatians 1:10
