God Speaks: Week 3 OSHI ONLINE SUNDAY SCHOOL FROM LUTHERAN BIBLE TRANSLATORS

The Bible corrects us and helps guide our lives.

Introduction

What needs to be corrected in the picture? (scroll to the very bottom for the answer)
Have you ever been corrected? How did it make you feel? Can you think of a time when correction helped you do better at something?

Correction is a way for us to grow and improve.

God's Word

Proverbs 15:32 says, "If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding."

Our theme verse for the month tells us that the Bible corrects us. Sing it to help you memorize it.

Truth

God corrects us through His Word. Correction isn't just about pointing out what's wrong but also about helping us to live right. Why is it important to listen to what the Bible says about our behavior?

Open your Bible. How might it help correct and guide in these different scenarios?

  • being unkind to a friend
  • lying to parents
  • using hurtful language
  • ignoring instructions
  • refusing to share
The Bible corrects and tells us the good news that Jesus came to die and rise. He forgives our wrongs and helps us to do what's right.
