WORLD SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSONS AND HANDOUTS FOR THIS WEEK
World Sunday School first appeared on the Internet on May 14, 2003. Since that time, this independent website has supplied weekly graded Sunday School lessons and handouts (and, often, coloring pages) to help Sunday School teachers worldwide. We hope to help preserve the Sunday School movement which had its glory days in the 1930's. In a time when so many churches are downsizing Sunday Schools, we aim to preserve this Christian teaching to enrich the life of children and youth worldwide.

Mender of Broken Things - Part 2
October 2, 2022
Ok so God has the MOST wonderful sense of humor. My husband looked for 2 DAYS for some items that he had put away, and now he could not find them. He searched our house nonstop for an hour, EVERYWHERE. Finally, he came into the room where I was reading and I suggested we pray and ask God to show us where the items were. We prayed a simple prayer and less than a minute later, the Holy Spirit instructed me where to look and I found it about a minute after we prayed! GOD Bless You All. : )

GRADE 3-6 LESSON - October 2, 2022
CURRENT LESSON PLAN - Moses: Egypt…Meet Almighty God! (Part 3), by Lisa DeVinney
Teacher’s Notes: This week we’ll be continuing our look at how God revealed Himself, in a very mighty way, to Pharaoh, and the Egyptian people. Last week we watched Pharaoh’s heart continue to harden with each new plague that Moses and Aaron brought. But this week, God’s going to step up the pressure with some new miracles that are going to hit closer to home, and finally change Pharaoh’s heart…at least for a time.

Moses: Egypt…Meet Almighty God! (Part 3), by Lisa DeVinney
Class Discussion/ Activity:
Have the class discuss the following True or False questions to review today’s lesson.
(Review Questions)
True or False
1. The fire and hail destroyed all of the Egyptians’ crops. (false – some were not yet ripe, and survived the storms)
2. The Israelites were spared from losing their livestock and from the plague of darkness. (true)
3. Pharaoh’s servants tried to convince him to give in and do as God had said. (true)
4. The locust finished off every plant that had survived the fire and hail storm. (true)
5. Darkness was the final plague God sent to get Moses’ attention. (false – the death angel is still coming.)
(Discussion Questions)
- Why do you think God let Pharaoh’s heart get so hard, before He brought him to the place that he would give in?
- Do you think it would have been different if God had brought the more devastating plagues, like the darkness or the locusts, first?
- And if God asked you to do something that you didn’t really want to do, would you go ahead and do it anyway, or might He have to bring some test into your life to remind you that He is to be your top priority?
Can you think of anything God might call you to do that may seem scary or hard, and that He might have to give you a little push in order to get you to obey? Here are a few ideas:
- Be a missionary in a far away country
- Go and visit someone you don’t know very well
- Help someone with a task that you really don’t like to do
- Become a pastor
It’s important for us to remember that if we claim to believe in God, then He should have the top priority in our lives; and that means doing what He wants us to do, even though it might not be what we feel like we want to do. But we also have the promise from Him that He’ll always do what’s best for us, because He loves us. So He’s never going to ask us to do something that would be anything less than the best!
Yes, God may someday ask us to do something hard. And it would mean giving up control of our own lives to Him. That was what God was looking for from Pharaoh. And it’s what He still wants from us, today. Let’s not make Him send plagues to get our attention and obedience. Let’s just trust and obey…and see His plan in action in our lives.
