➤ Loosely Attached to Jesus —When a house is built in some parts of Australia, the roof is very strongly attached to the house so that when a cyclone comes the roof won't blow away. Christians should be strongly attached to Jesus so that they won't fall away when trouble comes upon them. But many are loosely and flimsily attached. The Bible talks about this in several ways.

➤ A Matter of Degree —Some things are right in a limited measure, but wrong in excess. They become sinful when they are overdone. Not all things are like that. Some things remain right or wrong absolutely in any degree. But where there is a matter of degree, there may be a point where there is involvement with sin. This requires "love... in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent" (Philippians 1:9-11 NKJV).

➤Unwashed Hands, Unclean Hearts (Matthew 15:1-20) —Our text for study is about an occasion in which some scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus and asked why his disciples ate food without washing their hands. Jesus in reply asked them about why they paid lipservice to God but their hearts were far from him.

➤ Spreading Human Consciousness —Are we humans under threat of extinction? Many believe in hazards that could wipe us out like dinosaurs. So they propose to save the human race by colonising suitable planets. This plan arises from the belief that evolution bestowed a fluke on the human race, endowing it with high intelligence and a consciousness unique among living things. What assurance of salvation does this plan give you?
➤ The Early Words of Jesus —This lesson puts together some early sayings of Jesus mostly at the beginning of his ministry. We notice that each of these sayings tells us something important and interesting about our Lord Jesus as he takes up the task of being the first to preach the gospel of salvation in his kingdom at hand (Hebrews 2:3).
➤ Hearing, Fearing, and Bearing Christ —Jesus calls on all of us to HEAR his words, FEAR his authority, and BEAR his burden. He spoke only what his Father gave him to speak. He will punish those who do not listen, and reward those who do, provided they obey and bear his burden together with him.
➤ Walk the Way, Tell the Truth, Live the Life —If you, or anyone else, wants to come to the Father to have his blessing, be reconciled to him, and escape his wrath, you can do it. However, there is only one way —Jesus.
➤ A Blessing and a Curse —The Creation came into being by God’s Word. Now God saw that all his creation was good. The earth was blessed. Then Satan came, and his word caused man and woman to knowingly defy God’s word, bringing in a curse of eternal separation from the life of God. However, God provided a way of salvation, a blessing of everlasting life, to counteract the curse.
➤ 1Timothy 6:5,10,17 Madness, Sadness, Gladness —In First Timothy chapter 6, Paul writes about how Christians should regard the world they live in. He mentions three relationships that one can have with the world. In this lesson we call them Madness, Sadness, and Gladness. The last one is of course the one we should choose.
➤ Not All Things in Visions are Real —Visions in the Bible were not made up by man. Those who recorded visions really did see them. Not all the objects seen in the visions are real, but the things they signify are absolutely real.
➤ The King in His Beauty (Isaiah 33:17) —This one small verse is rich with hope and encouragement, not only for Jerusalem in its dark days, but also for us in these Last Days. One day, the righteous will be given new eyes to behold the Heavenly King, in the new Jerusalem, in that faraway land where the righteous will dwell forever.
