A MINISTRY OF GEAT SUNDAY SCHOOL

Spring Quarter 2025

March *April * May

Relax! God is in CONTROL!

Relax, God is in control, no matter the state of the physical world around us. Remember that Jesus is the Light of the World! Let us allow God to guard our hearts and minds, providing us rest and peace as we navigate through these dark and challenging times. God is the Good Shepherd who guides us, even when we are unaware, so we rest assured that He knows what He is doing.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

“Lord my God have FULLaccess to every part of my LIFE.”

Blessings in Jesus’Name, Minister WaveneyArthur, Adult Superintendent, Greater EmanuelApostolic Temple, Department of Christian Education

Praise the Lord Sunday Schoolers:

Welcome to the Year of Our Lord 2025, a time of redemption and the opportunity to receive grace upon grace. In 2025, expect God’s abundant blessings and be grateful for the greater opportunities in your relationship with Him as He provides all you need in a life filled with hope, health, and happiness.

Despite the tests and trials, we may face this year, remember to stay focused on what truly matters. God will guide you daily, and He has always provided for His children.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Colossians 3:16-17.

Greater Emanuel Sunday School invites you to join us every Sunday, either via Zoom or in person. Our in-person classes are held at Greater Emanuel Apostolic Temple, located at 1150 W. Galbraith Road, Cincinnati, Ohio, in the EJB Hall. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Greater Emanuel Sunday School

ECO TIPS

What an You Do to Bring God’s Earth Back to Its riginal State as Described in Genesis Chapter One?

➢ Shopping

• Easy: Take reusable bags (canvas bags or reuse paper/plastic bags) when shopping.

• Challenging: Contact your local supermarket or other stores. Encourage them to minimize packaging at checkout, subsidize returnable packaging, etc.

➢ Trash

• Easy: Use a garbage bag to pick up trash and recyclables in your neighborhood.

• Challenging: Post your experience on social media or talk with others to multiply your effort.

➢ Paper

• Easy: When possible, avoid unnecessary use of paper by sending an email or text message.

• Challenging: When paper is essential, try recycled, post-consumer, acid-free note/office paper or paper from a tree farm.

➢ Drink Water

• Easy: Drink water from the tap. It is by far the cheapest drink in both emissions and money. It also avoids using plastic bottles and usually has fluoride for healthy teeth.

• Challenging: Consider buying a reusable water filter dispenser to reduce chlorine, lead, and mercury.

➢ Clutter

• Easy: What’s the messiest place in your home? erhaps the entryway or kitchen is a good location to review, dispose of, or recycle extras.

• Challenging: In the spirit of the upcoming Lent season, declutter not only your material possessions but also your mind. What grudges and anger are you holding on to? Declutter your mind!

Blessings,

Recovery Ministry

The Greater Recovery Ministry is an outreach program dedicated to supporting individuals struggling with the psychological, spiritual, and behavioral effects of addiction. Our goal, guided by the love of God, is to help individuals achieve complete deliverance from various types of addictions. We provide encouragement and support throughout the recovery process, believing that Jesus has the power to free you from addictions such as alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, the internet, nicotine, co-dependency, shopping, and more.

The curriculum for the Greater Recovery Ministry is based on the vision of our Senior Pastor, Bishop LaVelton J. Daniel, who seeks for "All Souls" to experience freedom from the "World of Negative Addiction." The program consists of 12 Godly principles that will be discussed weekly in a support group setting, facilitated by trained leaders.

For our youth participants, the curriculum focuses on drug prevention and education. We can schedule a convenient meeting if you or someone you know needs support. Please direct all inquiries to In-House Pastor Evangelist Melvina Pounds at melvinalbs@gmail.com.

The Climax of History

Unit 2: The Revelation of Jesus

Unit 3: The Final Victory

April 6, 2025: Unit 2, Lesson 6: The Great Multitude: Revelation 7:9-17. Teacher: Evangelist Linda DuBoise. Is there a connection between thankfulness and worship? This week’s lesson answers that question. In Revelation 7, we continue to explore the worship of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In John’s vision, he describes “a great multitude, which no one could number, of all people and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.” Thankfulness is an essential part of worship. The multitude worshiped God, the angels worshiped God, and the redeemed worshiped God! A crucial aspect of worship is recognizing and acknowledging what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has done for us – restoring us into the right relationship with God. Review this week’s lesson at the link: GREATER NEWS #104 DUBOISE

April 13, 2025; Unit 2: Lesson 7: Babylon Is Fallen: Revelation 14:6-13: Teacher: Minister Waveney Arthur: Our Sunday School lesson continues in the book of Revelation, specifically chapter 14, verses 6-13. This passage describes the terrible judgments that are to come and emphasizes the need for God’s people to patiently endure until the end. This week’s lesson focuses on three angels that the Apostle John sees in his heavenly vision. The first angel delivers a message of judgment to all the people on the earth. The second angle announces the fall of “that great city, Babylon.” The third angel provides a warning to the worshippers of the antichrist about their impending fate. At the conclusion of the messages from the three angels, there are words of encouragement urging the faithful to endure with patience. Revelation 14:12-13 “ ere is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (13) And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their words do follow them.” Review this week’s lesson at the link: GREATER NEWS #105 WAVENEY

April 20, 2025: Unit 2: Lesson 8: Jesus Fulfills the Scriptures (Easter): Luke 24:32-49: Teacher: Evangelist Mytrice Nesbitt: This week’s lesson highlights the witnesses of Jesus’s Resurrection. Two disciples were traveling to Emmaus when Jesus joined them, though they did not recognize Him. As they shared a meal, he blessed it, and in Luke 24:32, they remarked, “Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? They returned to Jerusalem, found the eleven disciples, and proclaimed, "The Lord is risen indeed and has appeared to Simon.” Jesus then appeared to them, showing His hands and feet and inviting them to touch Him to confirm He was flesh and bone. He even asked for something to eat as proof of His physical presence. Through this, Jesus provided clear evidence of His Resurrection and opened their understanding of Him from the Old Testament scriptures. He told them they were witnesses and would soon receive power from on high. We, too, are His witnesses, and we have the responsibility and the privilege to spread the good news of salvation through the power of the Holy Spirit –Jesus is Risen, and we have been redeemed. Review this week's lesson at the link: GREATER NEWS #106 NESBITT

April 27, 2025: Unit 3: Lesson 9: The Wedding Feast of the Lamb: Revelation 19:5-10: Teacher: Evangelist Erma Kidd: – This week’s lesson is about the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. There are four Alleluia praises, verses 1-2 record John hearing the voice of many people in heaven crying out Alleluia, ascribing salvation, glory, honor, and power to the Lord. And verse 3 tells of the multitude praising God for the destruction of Babylon, and verse 4 the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fall in worship to God, who is sitting on His throne. The fourth Alleluia praises the Lord God, omnipotent, reigneth. “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” “Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.” At the marriage supper of the Lamb, believers will be joined to Jesus as His bride, clothed in His righteousness.
