Direction Student (Winter 2016): Creation: A Divine Cycle
With the advent of the Savior by the power of the Holy Spirit, God set in motion the fulfillment of the divine plan of salvation. Luke’s Gospel, several psalms, and the epistle to the Galatians explore God’s ongoing actions in blessing and reconciling the whole creation.
UNIT 1 • THE SAVIOR IS The four lessons in this unit are developed from the Gospel of Luke. Lessons 1 and 2 offer a study of how Mary, a virgin, received and joyfully accepted the announcement that she had been highly favored by God to give birth to His Son and the story of her cousin Elisabeth’s affirmation of the same. Lesson 3 studies John’s mission as the forerunner of the Savior. The Christmas Day lesson deals with the birth of Jesus and the circumstances and events pursuant to it.
UNIT 2 • ALL CREATION PRAISES The five lessons in this unit employ five psalms. Several psalms emphasize praise for God that emanates from creation itself. Others invite us to praise God for creation.
UNIT 3 • THE CHURCH IS The four lessons in this unit will focus on Galatians, in which God’s creative process can be seen through the birthing of a new faith community with Jesus Christ as its foundation. The lessons address the importance of spiritual freedom, cooperation, and righteous living in building and maintaining the community.
