God has displayed Himsel to us; He is THE GOD. God does not share His glory
with any other. He has commanded us to honor Him as the only God, to love
Him, and to obey Him. However, we do not listen and do not obey. Jesus, God’s
only Son, had to come and remedy our sin or us. We can now live in restoration
with the One God because o the death and resurrection o Jesus.

Dear Sunday School Teacher,
Your ministry as a teacher or our Lord has eternal alue! When we iew our ministry in light o
eternity, we see its importance and the priilege that God has entrusted to us. In Psalm 78, the
Bible also reminds us o this great calling: “One generation commending the Gospel to the next.”
Treri Crit Crric: The ministry resource that you hold in your hand is produced
and shaped by the local church—“The Bride o Christ.” We hae three primary strategies thatguide us. First, we desire to produce a Gospel-centered curriculum that allows eery child, babies to
high school students, to study the same Scripture passage each week. Second, we seek to equip
parents to thrie in their God-gien role as their child’s primary discipler. We want this resource,
thereore, to connect the church and the home by proiding the Connecting Church and Home
resource within the curriculum. Third, we want to respond to the
desperate need or curriculum resources around the world. We
desire to bless the nations with a tool that will help them reach
the world with the Gospel o Christ.
Qrter Oe: God on Display
Eery relationship begins with an introduction. God introducing Himsel to us is the heartbeat o
this study.
God on Display is a major theme that runs throughout all o Scripture. God’s desire to hae com-
munion with those He created is seen rom coer to coer o the Bible. In the rst ew pages, we see
God communing in the Garden o Eden with Adam and Ee. The theme o communion continues
to be seen through the role o the Old Testament tabernacle and temple. In the New Testament,
God became incarnate in Jesus, God with us. Ater Jesus, the Father gies the Holy Spirit to belieers
and institutes the Church. Fellowship in the Church breeds community, both with God and others
made in His likeness. As belieers, we are guaranteed that we will spend eternity in communion
with God, dwelling in His presence.
God is on display: eerywhere; in the past, present and uture; and in our lies as belieers. Let us
lie continually to display God’s greatness and loe.

Eter te story
I a stranger walked into your home, what
could he learn about you just rom seeing
what is on the other side o your ront door?
What is important to you? Is it moies or a
fat-screen teleision? Would he be able to tell
what college or proessional sports team you
root or? Is it books, art and culture that line
the walls in your den or media room? Is it the
ancy gadgets that make their home atop your
granite counters? Is it the latest styles that ll
your cedar closets? Is it hunting trophies that
hang oer the mantle or couch? Is it expen-
sie, model urniture that people can’t een sit
on or ear o getting it dirty? Is it pictures o
all the children and grandchildren? All these
communicatie possessions refect the hidden
intensities o the heart.
In the home o a deout Jew, both 3,000 years
ago and today, one would nd items that
pointed to God. Our Treasure Story passage—
the Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4-9—is the anchor
passage o the Jewish aith and heritage. The
Jews could hae chosen other passages to be
central to their aith, but this one stands out
rom all others. The Shema helps shape e-
erything that a Jewish amily does and een
aects the décor o their homes. The mezuzah
(pronounced muh ZOO zuh), which means
doorpost, reers to small scrolls inscribed with
the Shema and a linked passage, Deuteronomy
11:13-21. Mezuzahs are attached to the ront
door o Jewish homes, almost like a wreath
we would place on our doors today. These
mezuzahs show remembrance o the rst
Passoer (Exodus 12).
The Shema passage instructs us to lie our
lies deoted to the one true God. Jesus also
proclaimed this truth to His disciples. He said
the greatest commandment was to loe the
Lord your God with all your heart, soul and
mind (Mark 12:28-30). The ocus is on our
hearts, not our homes. Our entire lies should
model that deotion and loe and whole
hearted aection. While we may not hang
scrolls on the doorposts o our homes, do our
hearts and lies refect that we treasure Christ
aboe all else?
“Shema: The Hebrew word that means ‘hear.’ The main statement of the Jewish
law that says God is the one true God and His
people are commanded to love and obey Him.”
– Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids,
pg. 175
“This verse [Deuteronomy 6:4] isone which the Jews write upon their phylacter-
ies because of its awesome expression of divine
truth. The words are also used both morning
and evening to begin their daily liturgy.” – The
Baptist Study Bible, notes on Deuteronomy 6:4,
pg. 256
“We lay greater stress on thetraining of the children than on anything else,
and regard observance of the Law and a corre-
sponding godly life as the most important of all
duties.” – E. Johnsen, Paul of Tarsus, pg. 20

Go Is O Go Deuteronomy 6:4-9
story Otie
The Shema isn’t a suggestion that God gae
the Israelites to obey. These six erses are the
crux o the Jewish aith. They are spoken eery
day in the home, and children are raised know-
ing and memorizing this passage. The Shema
is not to be orgotten, but treasured aboe
the rest o lie. One o the ways people o the
Jewish aith treasure the Shema is by wear-
ing a tellin. A tellin is a set o small, cubic
leather boxes painted black, containing scrollso parchment inscribed with erses rom the
Torah, with leather straps dyed black on one
side and worn by obserant Jews during week-
day morning prayers. There is one tellin that
is placed on the upper arm, and the strap is
wrapped around the arm, hand and ngers.
Another one is or the head, placed aboe the
orehead with the strap going around the head
and oer the shoulders. Deout ollowers o Yahweh take His writings seriously.
The whole o the passage is rooted in the
opening erse: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our
God, the Lord is one” (Deuteronomy 6:4). This
statement is declaratie and leaes no room
or discussion or debate. It is accepted as act
and truth rom the mouth o the liing God
and Creator o the unierse. Moses (writer o
the book o Deuteronomy) would not haequestioned the Lord on this statement.
The word “hear” in this erse has the intent o
hearing to obey. Oten we hear without the
ollow-through. We say to our children, “Are you
listening to me?” What parents oten mean by
that question is i their children not only heard
what they said but then are they going to obey
what they heard. God commands us the same.
He wants us to hear in such a way that we will
lie our lies in radical obedience to what will
ollow the command.
Wise instructions ollow Deuteronomy 6:4 and exhort us to do the ollowing:
lOVE ThE lORd YOuR gOd WITh all YOuR
hEaRT, sOul and mIghT (Deuteronomy 6:5).
This holistic approach speaks o the total-
ity o who we are. We can compartmental-
ize our lies and keep God to a Sunday-only
relationship. Compartmentalizing is not the
kind o loe and deotion that God, the
soereign King, commands rom His ollowers.
He desires a wholehearted, abandon-eery-
thing kind o loe that requires eerythingwe are.
“Loving God is not a meredecision. You cannot merely decide to love clas-
sical music or country western music, much less
God. The music must become compelling. If you
don’t love it, something must change inside you.
That change makes it possible for the mind to ex-
perience the music with a compelling sense of its
attractiveness. So it is with God . . . Love for God
is not essentially behavior but affection—not
deeds but delight . . . We begin to prefer above
all else to know Him and see Him and be with
Him and be like Him.” – John Piper, What Jesus
Demands from the World, pgs. 77-78

Go Is O Go Deuteronomy 6:4-9
ThE COmmands shall BE On OuR
hEaRTs (Deuteronomy 6:6). O course, Mo-
ses is not indicating the physical need to
open one’s chest caity and insert the writ-
ten law on the physical heart. Instead, this
heart is representatie o eerything a man
is—his emotional being and his physical, psy-
chological and spiritual sel. There is no room
or dichotomy. The instruction ound in the
Shema is to infuence eerything we say,
think and do. The strong erb usage o “shall”indicates an actie erb. Obedience o this
erse will require action by us.
YOu shall TEaCh ThEm (Deuteronomy 6:7).
This passage is primarily written to athers, but
the command is or any belieer. (Hint: This
should be one o the main reasons you are
inoled in teaching children and students
in the local church.) We should talk about the
Scriptures all the time. Colossians 3:16 helpsus to see the indwelling nature o the Word o
God and how it should always be in our hearts
and on our tongues. The Shema tells us where
we are to speak o these truths: sitting in our
homes, walking, lying down and getting up. Ba-
sically, all the time. 24/7.
ThEY aRE TO BE VIsIBlE REmIndERs
(Deuteronomy 6:8-9). People o Jewish aith
wear the erses o the Shema on their arms
and oreheads. They also post them on the
doorposts o their homes. The closest resem-
blances we hae in our aith is WWJD brace-
lets, Christian T-shirts, billboards or decora-
tie rames with Scripture written on them.
We may not put a tiny scroll on our doorpost,
but we can hae Scripture posted around our
homes, on a post-it note on our mirrors, onan index card taped to our dashboards, on a
rerigerator magnet or repeated in the songs
on our playlists. More importantly, our hearts
should refect the truths ound in the Scrip-
tures. Our hearts should refect the Lordship
o Christ, how we treasure Him and the Gospel.
“To the strict Jew, only one way
existed for a child to go: the way of his fa-
ther and his father’s father. Theirs was the
responsibility to direct the child in that familiar
way . . . The words of Deuteronomy 4:7-9 had
been rehearsed in the ear of every faithful Jew
from the time of Moses.” – Beth Moore, To Live
Is Christ, pgs. 13-14

Eerything we learn about God in Deuteronomy 6:4 stirs us and motiates us in obeying the rest
o the Shema passage. God makes a declaratie statement. God is one God. There is no other:
“The Source and End o all things is One. This reality—God, Yahweh, Elohim, Theos—the central
subject o all Jewish-Christian Scripture, is one, not sixteen. Any polytheistic [religion with many
gods] conception is by denition inadequate” (Thomas Oden, The Living God , pg. 56).
“It would be difcult to overstate the signifcance o the monotheistic [there is only one God] declaration of Deuteronomy 6:4. Israel
is summoned to hear and heed. Yahweh is their God. Yahweh is one.” – James
Hamilton, The Journal of Family Ministry, Fall/Winter 2010, pg. 13
Man was gien commands to lie out in the Shema. The Shema was gien as an umbrella to the rest
o the Law. The Shema was an exhortation gien to the Israelites to loe God aboe eerything and
eeryone else. Howeer, man was unable to keep eery portion o the Law and oten dismissed the
“loe the Lord your God” passage. Man lled his heart with many idols or other seemingly important
“things.” The Israelites tended to orget that God made them to gloriy Himsel. We, today, do the
same. We do that by not obeying Him and not loing Him aboe all other things in this world.
“The claim o the Word o God upon us is absolute:the Word is to be received, trusted and obeyed, because it is the Word of God
the King.” – J. I. Packer, Knowing God, pg. 113
“Fallen men and women—you and I—reject God’sauthority and seek to rule ourselves. Created to worship God, we instead be-
come idolaters and set our hearts on things in this world.” – Jeff Purswell,

This command to loe the Lord your God was gi-
en as part o the Law to the Israelites. They were to
ollow these laws and lie them out. Howeer, sin
kept them rom being able to do this. Sinul na-
ture prohibits our ability to lie righteously on our
own merit beore a holy God. Thereore, we will
see Jesus enter the picture later as our redemp-
tion, as our reconciliation to God the Father. He is
our righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).
“I God required o Israel that sheshould be holy, even as God is holy, and love the
Lord with all her heart, soul, and might, He also
knew that a people as yet not fully saved could nev-
er achieve that standard. In such a context the idea
of loving God takes on a new signicance that is
governed by God’s grace.” – Graeme Goldsworthy,
Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture,
pg. 155

being of God, and the law of God.” – Thomas

P 19:7-11: “The law o the LORD is

precepts o the LORD are right, rejoicing the

My Mission As Teacher:
• What does your life reect that you treasure? Does it reveal that you treasure God, the Gospel and
His Word? Or does it reeal that you treasure this world aboe Him?
• How can you encourage others this week to know and seek the One God of the universe?
Prayer Points:
• Pray for opportunity (and active obedience) to speak the truth of the Scriptures into someone’s life
this week.
• Pray for your students this week. Pray that their eyes and ears would be open to hearing the truth
ound in God’s Word. May they understand how these truths and commands are or their good
and blessing and or God’s greater glory in the world.
“A fxed, constant attention to the Promises, and a frm belie o them,would prevent solicitude and anxiety about the concerns of this life. It would keep the mind quiet and com-
posed in every change, and support and keep our sinking spirits under the several troubles of life . . . Christians
deprive themselves of their most solid comforts by their unbelief, and forgetfulness of God’s Promises. For
there is no extremity so great, but there are Promises suitable to it, and abundantly sufcient for our relief in
it.” – J. I. Packer quoting Samuel Clark, Knowing God, pg. 115
God has displayed Himsel to us; He is THE GOD. God does not
share His glory with any other. He has commanded us to honor
Him as the only God, to love Him, and to obey Him. However,
we do not listen and do not obey. Jesus, God’s only Son, had
to come and remedy our sin or us. We can now live in restora-tion with the One God because o the death and resurrection
o Jesus.
Cooi 3:16: “Let the word o Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in
all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankulness in your hearts to God.”
Je 1:22-25: “But be doers o the word, and not hearers only, deceiing yourseles. For i anyone is ahearer o the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural ace in a mirror. For
he looks at himsel and goes away and at once orgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the
perect law, the law o liberty, and perseeres, being no hearer who orgets but a doer who acts, he will
be blessed in his doing.”

“Does not this [Deuteronomy 6:5] show what is the very nature of God? There was never an earthly prince or king, whom I have heard of, in
whose statute book it was written, ‘Thou shalt love the king.’ No; it is only in the statute
book of Him who is the Lord of life and love that we read such a command as this. To
my mind it seems a very blessed privilege for us to be permitted to love One so great as
God is. Here it is we nd our heaven. It is a command, but we regard it rather as a lov-
ing, tender invitation to the highest bliss.” – Charles Spurgeon, Devotional Thoughts on

This truth is not just ound in Deuteronomy, but
throughout the Bible. Look up these passages
to see the cohesieness o the Word o God:
1 Tioty 2:1-6: “First o all, then, I urge
that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
thanksgiings be made or all people, or kings
and all who are in high positions, that we may
lead a peaceul and quiet lie, godly and digni-
ed in eery way. This is good, and it is pleasing
in the sight o God our Saior, who desires allpeople to be saed and to come to the knowl-
edge o the truth. For there is one God, and
there is one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus, who gae Himsel as a
ransom or all, which is the testimony gien at
the proper time.”
1 Coriti 8:1-6: “Now concerning ood
oered to idols: we know that ‘all o us possess
knowledge.’ This ‘knowledge’ pus up, but loebuilds up. I anyone imagines that he knows
something, he does not yet know as he ought
to know. But i anyone loes God, he is known
by God. Thereore, as to the eating o ood
oered to idols, we know that ‘an idol has no
real existence,’ and that ‘there is no God but
one.’ For although there may be so-called
gods in heaen or on earth—as indeed there
are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’—yet or us
there is one God, the Father, rom whom are allthings and or whom we exist, and one Lord,
Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and
through whom we exist.”
Exo 20:1-6: “And God spoke all these
words, saying, ‘I am the LORD your God, who
brought you out o the land o Egypt, out o
the house o slaery. ‘You shall hae no other
gods beore me. ‘You shall not make or your-
sel a cared image, or any likeness o anything
that is in heaen aboe, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down to them or sere them,
or I the LORD your God am a jealous God,
isiting the iniquity o the athers on the
children to the third and the ourth generation
o those who hate me, but showing steadast
loe to thousands o those who loe me and
keep my commandments.’”
Ii 45:14-18: “Thus says the Lord: ‘The
wealth o Egypt and the merchandise o Cush,and the Sabeans, men o stature, shall come
oer to you and be yours; they shall ollow you;
they shall come oer in chains and bow down
to you. They will plead with you, saying: “Sure-
ly God is in you, and there is no other, no god
besides Him.’” Truly, you are a God who hides
Himsel, O God o Israel, the Saior. All o them
are put to shame and conounded; the makers
o idols go in conusion together. But Israel is
saed by the Lord with eerlasting salation;you shall not be put to shame or conounded
to all eternity. For thus says the Lord, who cre-
ated the heaens (He is God!), who ormed the

6:24)? For our good. Rules are not meant to be
a hindrance to our reedom, but an opportunity
or us to treasure Christ, to pursue Him, and to
be blessed.
deterooy 5:28-33: “And the LORD heard
your words, when you spoke to me. And the
LORD said to me, ‘I hae heard the words o this
people, which they hae spoken to you. They are
right in all that they hae spoken. Oh that they
had such a mind as this always, to ear me andto keep all my commandments, that it might go
well with them and with their descendants or-
eer! Go and say to them, “Return to your tents.”
But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you the
whole commandment and the statutes and the
rules that you shall teach them, that they may do
them in the land that I am giing them to pos-
sess.’ You shall be careul thereore to do as the
LORD your God has commanded you. You shall
not turn aside to the right hand or to the let.
You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your
God has commanded you, that you may lie, and
that it may go well with you, and that you may
lie long in the land that you shall possess.”
deterooy 8:1-10: “The whole command-
ment that I command you today you shall be
careul to do, that you may lie and multiply,
and go in and possess the land that the LORD
swore to gie to your athers. And you shall re-
member the whole way that the LORD your
God has led you these orty years in the wilder-
ness, that He might humble you, testing you
to know what was in your heart, whether you
would keep His commandments or not. And
He humbled you and let you hunger and ed
you with manna, which you did not know, nor
did your athers know, that He might make you
know that man does not lie by bread alone,
but man lies by eery word that comes rom
the mouth o the LORD. Your clothing did not
wear out on you and your oot did not swell
these orty years. Know then in your heart that,
as a man disciplines his son, the LORD your Goddisciplines you. So you shall keep the command-
ments o the LORD your God by walking in His
ways and by earing Him. For the LORD your God
is bringing you into a good land, a land o brooks
o water, o ountains and springs, fowing out in
the alleys and hills, a land o wheat and barley,
o ines and g trees and pomegranates, a land
o olie trees and honey, a land in which you will
eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack
nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out
o whose hills you can dig copper. And you shall
eat and be ull, and you shall bless the LORD
your God or the good land He has gien you.”

connecting church and home
John Angell James said, “Here fx your center; here
direct your aim; here concentrate your efforts, your energies, and your prayers.Remember, their religious education is your business. Whatever aids you call in
from ministers or teachers, you never must, you never can, you never should,
delegate this work. God will hold you responsible for the souls of your children.”
As you open up God’s Word, who do you nd that God has put in place to be the primary discipler o
children? God gae parents the primary discipleship role. The peak o this teaching is called the Shema
and is ound in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. To this day, Jewish amilies quote this passage twice daily. Beore
there were churches, Sunday School classes, and youth groups, God entrusted parents with the prii-
lege to teach their children. This command hasn’t changed. There is no Shema version 2.0. Teaching our
children about the Lord is our priilege and responsibility as parents.
connectGod’s plan is or parents to disciple and train up their own children in the Word o God and ways o
God. This is a command with a promise. Psalm 78:5-7 says, “He established a testimony in Jacob and
appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our athers to teach to their children, that the next
generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so
that they should set their hope in God and not orget the works o God, but keep His command-
ments.” One o the promises o this erse can be ound in Proerbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way
he should go; een when he is old he will not depart rom it.” One way to teach your children the
ways o God is by sharing your testimony with them. Hae your children heard your testimony?
I not, then perhaps today would be a great time to share it.
Trere Vere: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall loe the LORD
your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I com-
mand you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk
o them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when
you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as rontlets between your eyes.
You shall write them on the doorposts o your house and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:4-9).
