God’s command to study His Word is repeated throughout Scripture. Moses commanded the Israelite families to have God’s words in their heart and to teach them to their children (Deut 6:6-9). Psalm 119 describes the benefit of knowing the Bible and living it out in our lives. The early church spent time studying the apostle’s teaching (Acts 2:42). The church in Berea studied the Scripture to check it against what Paul was teaching them (Acts 17:11). The writer of Hebrews rebuked his readers because they hadn't grown in their knowledge of God’s Word and still needed to be taught the “A,B,Cs” of Christianity (Hebrews 5:11-14). It’s clear that God wants us to study the Bible and do what it says.
That’s why Sunday School is so important at Olive Branch. Each week everyone studies the Bible to grow in their knowledge and faith. But Sunday school is more than Bible study. It’s a place to meet fellow Christians, and share life together. In these classes friendships are formed. Thus, life’s joys are celebrated and times of need are met with compassion and care.
