Words to Live By: A Study on Proverbs- Recap on Friendship and The Fear of God | Sunday School | 1st November, 2026 | Eyinna Abazie

Through Paul’s passionate address to the church in Colossians 2:1–5, we were encouraged to examine our faith in Christ, what it truly means to be a Christian, and our responsibilities within the church. Paul strengthens believers by continually reminding them of Christ’s greatness, preeminence, and sufficiency. His deep concern for the spiritual well-being of the church also provides an example for how we should care for one another.

Paul presents spiritual guardrails that help believers become less susceptible to false teaching. He encourages the strengthening of the heart—not merely an emotional upliftment, but a strengthening of the will. He also emphasises being knit together with other believers in love, reminding us that those surrounded by love within the church community are less likely to fall into temptation than those who are isolated. Finally, he urges believers to pursue a full knowledge and understanding of Christ. The more deeply rooted we are in Him, the less likely we are to be drawn away by falsehood.

We were left to consider two questions: Are we genuinely sharing love with others? And are we intentionally growing in our knowledge of and enjoyment of Christ?

Words to Live By: A Study on Proverbs- On Anger | Sunday School | 18th October, 2026 | Oluwajoba Oroge

Reflecting on Mark 2:1–12, we considered the account of the paralytic brought to Jesus by four men whose faith-driven persistence allowed nothing to stand in their way. We were reminded of the importance of the preached Word as God’s ordained means of saving souls and sustaining His people.

Though the man came seeking physical healing, Jesus first addressed his greatest need: the forgiveness of sins. The scribes questioned His authority, failing to recognise that the perfect sacrifice, altar, and great High Priest stood before them. Their response reminds us that one can possess intellectual knowledge of Scripture without experiencing its transforming power.

We were challenged to examine whether we have become barriers to others coming to Christ. Like the four men who stopped at nothing to bring their friend before Jesus, we must persist in bringing others to the Lord in prayer, even when years pass without visible results. Who are we bringing before Christ, and what have we allowed to stand in the way? Above all, we must examine the condition of our souls, remembering that our greatest need is the forgiveness of sins.
