The Value of a Soul! A Complete Sunday School Lesson You Can Use. Authored by Patrice Smith – PCAF Member.


Author Patrice Smith has written a timely Sunday school lesson, entitled: “The Value of a Soul.” She delves into answering many questions including, “what is a soul worth?” and “why are all souls valuable to God?” Patrice has shed light on this rarely talked about and informative matter. You may want to take a Sunday and break from your traditional classes to teach on this eye-opening subject! Try holding classes during the week or on one Bible class night (with your pastor’s permission, of course) if Sundays are not convenient.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE LESSON:

It is society’s practice to judge people based on externals (i.e., looks, wealth, titles, education, profession, zip codes, etc.) It is probably safe to say we have all judged someone based on externalities or what society deems as important. Or…we may have been the one who was ignored or overlooked because we did not measure up to someone’s standards. Every day, people are mistreated, ignored, and made fun of because they look a certain way or lack resources to obtain a so-called “good” lifestyle. We forget that behind every face (whether considered attractive or not), behind every body-type, behind every wealthy businessman or woman and behind every homeless person begging for money on the street corner — there is an invaluable soul. To overlook people or make them feel unwanted based on looks or societal status is, from God’s perspective, wicked and contrary to biblical principles. For the bible states that God is no respecter of persons, He rains on the just and the unjust. John 3:16 points out this very fact, that “God so loved…He gave His only begotten Son.”

The Houses of God


ICEA – “Church at Study”

Have you ever wondered about the houses of God — from the first-established tabernacle in the wilderness to the last temple that will be erected during the end-times? Click on the text below to explore a handout on a study of the houses of God:

 Houses of God

You may use the handout for study or a teacher may want to discuss with his/her class.

NOTE: As you study the scriptures, keep in mind that there were many less known temples, synagogues, and houses of God where people have worshipped throughout history. OUR STUDY FOCUSES ON THE SIGNIFICANT PLACES FOR JEWISH WORSHIP NOTED IN THE BIBLE. Although there are biblical accounts where “the body of Christ” came together to worship, this study does not focus on how we assemble in our meeting places, such as houses, storefronts, churches, and cathedrals.
