Bring a picture of a whale to class
discussion:
How many times have God's children faced distressing and hopeless circumstances because of disobedience to God. Is it not likely that much anguish could be spared us if we would surrender to God's will at all times and not just when calamity comes?

Grades 3-6 Sunday School Lesson
NT Women - Mary and Martha
Mary and Martha
Author’s Notes: This week we’ll continue our series on New Testament Women of Faith with two more women - sisters named Mary and Martha. They were close friends of Jesus. And there are several encounters between them recorded in the New Testament. Our primary focus in this lesson will be on one of the greatest tests of faith Mary and Martha had to face – the death of their brother, Lazarus. We’ll find that they struggled with many of the emotions anyone might go through in that situation. But we’ll also see that they didn’t turn their backs on Jesus, even though they felt He had let them down. And in the end, their faith grew even greater because of what Jesus allowed to happen.

1Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:
3Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
