Lesson: Timothy
Bible Passage: 1 & 2 Timothy
Elementary Focus Verses: Romans 8:28; Philippians 2:13; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 12:4–6
Summary: Paul met Timothy during his missionary journeys. Timothy had been raised by his mother and
grandmother to believe in God, and he became a follower of Jesus. He helped Paul as Paul shared Jesus and began churches. Timothy became a pastor. Paul wrote him two letters, instructing him how to best lead the church and reminding him that tough times would come. Paul encouraged Timothy to be an example to the believers even though he was young. Paul’s letters to Timothy teach us that we have a role to play in helping God’s church.
Memory Verse: Hebrews 13:21a May God equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ.

Summary: James became a leader of the Jerusalem church. His letter offers wisdom for all believers. In James 2, he teaches not to show favoritism, emphasizing that both the rich and poor are equally loved by God. Showing mercy instead of judgment reflects true faith. Faith in Jesus should inspire actions that help others, especially those in need. God’s love is for everyone, and trusting in Jesus brings eternal life.
