WTW Sunday School Class Homework

A Heart for Your Home

What does it mean to build your home? Not only is the structure and upkeep of the home dealt with in the concept of home building, but the family itself is included.

Read Proverbs 24:3-4
What are three things needed to build, establish and furnish a home?

Wisdom is frequently mentioned as a home building tool. How can a woman in the 21st century acquire the wisdom she needs to build her home? Read the following scriptures and list some ways..

1 Kings 4:29-
Psalm 111:10-
Proverbs 2:6-

God calls women to watch over and guard their homes. Idleness or inattention to the needs of the family often leads to a dangerous breakdown of love, security, and happiness in the home.

Read Proverbs 31:27 What positive action is taken and what negative behavior is avoided?

Women can build their homes by managing themselves and their families well. Tuning out distractions and tuning in to biblical truth about the purpose and goal of life can help women manage their homes to the glory of God and the joy of their families.
Diligence is a vital trait for managing your home. Read the following scriptures and write down the life truths or insights that encourage you to be more diligent.

a. Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14
b. Ephesians 5: 15-16

Homemaking-keeping your home in good order- blesses your family in many ways. Read the following scriptures and list some of the blessings that come from paying close attention to needs at home.

Proverbs 17:1
Proverbs 21:20
Ecclesiastes 10:18

Mucho Caliente!

The Sunday School class really warmed up to the topic of having a heart for your husband! The Scripture Ephesians 5:21-29 is challenging, and whether you are married or not, this lesson is a great study! To emphasize the "heat" around the hot button topic of "wifely submission", Debbie brought in a basket of peppers: jalepeno, serrano, mucho nacho, habanera ....(it was just fortuitous that the topic allowed for this fun association - I really needed to unload some of those peppers! D.) Elizabeth George was her usual lovely, lady-self and I think by the end of her presentation, we all felt that there was merit for us in this lesson.

The WTW Fall Event is fast approaching and there was a flurry of activity at the sign-up table on Sunday. We are expecting over 80 women to attend! The planning committee is full of excitement and anticipation as October 21st is fast approaching. We look forward to seeing you there.

In the meantime, get ready for Anne's lesson on "A heart for your children" (Chapters 9-12 in your text) this coming Sunday and enjoy this beautiful season...

LAST DAY!

Tomorrow, Sunday, October 12th, is the last day to sign up for the WTW 2008 fall event - Finding God in Unexpected Places, so take a minute before or after church, grab a brochure and fill out the registration. It is going to be a wonderful event. You don't have to dress up, you don't have to prepare anything - just come!
