First Lesson
Proverbs 20:9-12,17-22
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my
sin?
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike
abomination to the LORD.
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure,
and whether it be right.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even
both of them.
17 Bread
of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be
filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice
make war.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore
meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be
put out in obscure darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but
the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD,
and he shall save thee.
1st Lesson Questions:
Proverbs 20:9-12:17-22. Has my mouth ever been filled with gravel? (V. 17) When was the last time it was? What is it to recompense evil? Have I ever tried to do that? What happened? RESOLVE.
Second Lesson
Colossians 1:1-17
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus
our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at
Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love
which ye have to all the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye
heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth
forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of
it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who
is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease
to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge
of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power,
unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness
of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created
by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
2nd Lesson Questions:
Colossians 1:1-17. Do I always feel as if I am part of that group referred to in verses 12 & 13? RESOLVE.
