Adults

Home Learning Theme:  Faith, Hope & Love.

 

This entire Learning guide works every bit as well for adults as it can for kids, though our memory skills get weak.  Remember that all memory verses are best understood in their context. 

 

1.  Set a godly example. 

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.”  1 Peter 2:21. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  John 13:34-35. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus...”  Philippians 2:5  (see the full text at Philippians 2:5-11).

 

 

2.  Let “abundant living” be your legacy so your child will inherit REAL riches from you.

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 (NASB).

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”  1 Timothy 6:18. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”  Colossians 3:16-17.

 

 

3.  Make an honest living (teach a Christian work ethic). 

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.”  Proverbs 13:11. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”  1 Thessalonians 4:11-12.

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”  2 Thessalonians 3:10. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work.  Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you.  He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.”  1 Chronicles 28:20. 

 

 

4.  Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and you children!

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.”  Psalm 138:6. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”  Luke 14:11.

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Nobody  should  seek  his  own  good,  but  the  good  of  others” 

1 Corinthians 10:24.

 

 

5.  God’s Wrath is Real! 

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”  Romans 1:18-20. 

 

 

6.  There is joy in generosity! 

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”  Proverbs 11:25. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  2 Corinthians 9:6-7. 

 

 

7.  Trust God.  His plan is unfolding! 

 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”   Genesis 50:20. 

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”  Romans 8:28. 

 

 

Motto:  “Love to learn and you’ll learn to love!”

MEMORY VERSE:  “I know, O Lord, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.”  Jeremiah 10:23.

 

MEMORY VERSE:  “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.”  Romans 8:11.
