God's Glory: Lesson 1

Dear Parents,

Hello again! This week we started our study of God’s glory. It was a great time of learning and discussion. I hope your teenager enjoyed it.

The lesson was entitled “Glory Defined,” and it focused on helping students understand that God’s glory speaks predominantly to the honor and awe due to God simply for who He is. It challenged our students to both look for God’s glory and respond to it in their daily lives.

We looked at the following Scripture passages: 

• Exodus 24:15-18 
• Luke 2:8-10 
• Revelation 21:22-25 
• 1 Chronicles 16:23-29 
• Psalms 19:1-3 
• Romans 1:18-20 

You’ll enjoy reading these passages and how God’s glory speaks to us in our every day lives.

Next Steps...
During the next week as you have time to talk with your child, consider asking the following questions:

• If God’s glory speaks through His creation to us, what are some of the words which describe God and who He is? 

• Where are some of the places you see God’s glory displayed? What places near here, or have we travelled to that display God’s glory. 

• God is powerful and mighty. How is it possible to have a healthy fear of such a big God? Is it healthy to fear God? Why? Why not? 

• What are some of the ways you are learning to help keep focused on God’s glory? 

Thank you for all you do. If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.
