OPENING PRAYER: Father, teach me what Your word can do.


BIBLE PASSAGE: JOHN 2:1-5


[1]And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:


[2]And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.


[3]And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.


[4]Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.


[5]His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.


MEMORY VERSE: “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.


INTRODUCTION: God leads His children in definite ways. He loves to speak plainly with His own but when He speaks in codes or uses signs and symbols, it is important that the recipients of such messages return to ask for the meaning, or else the purpose of the communication is defeated. When the purpose of God’s word is known, its accomplishment is inevitable.


LESSON AIM: To teach students the significance of God’s word.


TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

a. Understand why God sends His word to us.

b. Know that God’s word is specific and it has a time frame.

c. Learn that God’s word must fulfil its purpose.

d. Learn that it is risky not to act upon God’s word on time.
