Sunday School Lessons
Welcome to the Sunday School resource hub for Faithful to the Word. Here you’ll find biblically grounded, theologically rich, and gospel-centered lesson materials designed to equip believers of all ages to grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Whether you are teaching children, youth, or adults, these resources aim to connect every part of the Bible to the redemptive work of Christ and the unfolding story of God’s covenantal purposes.
Each lesson is crafted with clarity and care—faithful to the text of Scripture, shaped by biblical theology, and attentive to the call of discipleship. Our goal is not just to educate minds but to form hearts, build up the Church, and raise up faithful followers of Christ through the ministry of the Word.
We pray these materials serve your ministry, strengthen your teaching, and help you make disciples who love God, love His Word, and live for His glory.
Study in the Canons of Dort
Our study through the Canons of Dort has been a journey into the heart of God’s sovereign grace and enduring faithfulness. Drafted at the Synod of Dort (1618–1619) in response to the rise of Arminian theology, the Canons are not a comprehensive systematic theology, but a pastoral and doctrinal response to key questions concerning the nature of salvation.
Together, we explored the Five Points of Calvinism, not as abstract doctrines, but as Scripturally rooted truths meant to comfort and assure believers in the unshakable work of God:
-
Total Depravity – Mankind is wholly fallen in Adam, spiritually dead, and utterly unable to save himself apart from sovereign grace.
-
Unconditional Election – Before the foundation of the world, God graciously chose a people in Christ, not based on foreseen faith or merit, but solely according to His mercy.
-
Limited Atonement (Particular Redemption) – Christ’s death was sufficient for all, but effectual only for the elect. His atonement truly secured the salvation of His sheep.
-
Irresistible Grace – When the Spirit calls the elect to Christ through the gospel, He effectually draws them, overcoming all resistance and giving new life.
-
Perseverance of the Saints – Those whom God has called and justified will persevere in faith, upheld by His grace and preserved unto glory.
Throughout our study, we saw that these doctrines do not diminish human responsibility but magnify the glory of God in salvation. They humble the sinner, exalt Christ, and give rest to the weary soul. Far from being cold or academic, the Canons of Dort were written with deep pastoral care—to comfort believers struggling with assurance and to anchor the church in the gospel of God’s sovereign grace.
May our hearts continue to echo the spirit of the Canons:
“To God alone, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”
