But Summer vacation isn't here yet for our high school and middle school students. There are still final exams to be taken before the school year ends ...
Fortunately, there's no final exam in the youth Sunday school class at Rolling Hills Church. But what if there were a final exam for Sunday school? What would you need to know? Just study the five points below, and you will be ready to ace the test ...
ROLLING HILLS SUNDAY SCHOOL CHEAT SHEET
(1) You are God's amazing creation. You are made in God's image; yet, you are uniquely created to be YOU (and the God who created you knows you better than anyone else ever could). [Check out: Genesis 1:26-31; Psalm 139:13-16; Luke 12:1-6]
(2) God is a loving God. God is not looking to punish you, burden you, shame you, or hurt you. God is love! [Check out: Psalm 145:8; Matthew 11:28-30; 1 John 4:16]
(3) Jesus is God's ultimate gift of love to us. Jesus showed us how to live, died suffering the pain of all humanity's bad choices, and rose from the dead on Easter morning -- blazing the way for us all to follow to an awesome life with God, both here and in heaven. [Check out: John 3:16; John 10:10; John 15:13; 1 John 4:9-10]
(4) We show God our love and thanks by loving others. We treat others as we would want them to treat us. And when we do good things for others, it is the same as doing them for God! [Check out: Matthew 7:12, Matthew 25:31-40, John 13:35, 1 John 4:19-21]
(5) When we make God our priority and bring God's love to others, God's got our backs! So hang in there. Keep up the good work. God pays attention, knows what we truly need, and is looking out for us. [Check out: Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 58:6-9; Matthew 6:25-34; 2 Thessalonians 3:13]
So write these five points on your hand if you must! Just don't forget them. Enjoy your Memorial Day holiday, and check us out next Sunday, when we select the Wesley Award winner for Best Story from the Book of Acts!
