TODAY’S LESSON

BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 24:6-8.

MEMORY VERSE

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be lamines. and pestllences. and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew 24:7.

INTRODUCTION

Natural disasters challenge the Christian belief that God is good. The enormous loss of lives and properties resulting from pandemics, earthquakes, floods, etc, is terrible and tragic.

Our grief and even our anger are human, but no one grieves more than the Lord Himself (Hebrews 4:15). Christ is moved by the afflictions we suffer and even weeps over our pains (John. 11:35).

Could the God who loves us also be the one to destroy us? How do we reconcile the mercy of God in Christ with His permission for natural disasters?

Question 4: How do natural disasters occur?

Question 5a: Are there differences between natural disasters and God’s use or natural force to prove His supremacy?

Answer: Yes. Natural disasters differ from God’s use of natural forces.

Ouestion 5b: What are the differences?

Answers:

1. As recorded in the Bible, Natural disasters kill and maim indiscriminately. God’s acts of judgement recorded in the Blble were selective (Genesis 19:29-30).

ii. Natural disasters usually strike with little or no warning. On the other hand, God gave warnings to the wicked before using natural forces against them (Genesis 6:13; Matthew 24:38-39).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Students should recall instances of natural disasters they are aware of.

2. WHY GOD ALLOWS IT

It is distressing that natural disasters are often termed “acts of God” while no “credit” is given to God for years, decades, or even centuries of peace and stability.

However, generally, God allows natural disasters so as:

i. To serve as a warning for unbelievers. Disasters are warnings, and unbelievers often turn to God for the first time when they face a tornado or an earthquake (Revelation 11:13).

ii. To remind us that even nature was affected by sin. Natural disasters remind us that nature, while beautiful is broken and cursed (Genesis 3:17-18).

iii. To establish God’s supremacy over man. Some disasters give no warning even with all the science and technology a country can afford to put in place (Psalm 115:3).

iv. To indicate the beginning of the last! days. They are signs of the end times (Matthew 24:3, 7).

v. To allow cause and effect to operate independently. Some natural disasters are a result of man’s abuse and damage to the natural environment (Ecclesiastes 7:29).

vi. To allow believers to demonstrate God’s love to humanity by helping, ministering, counselling, praying, and leading people to the saving faith in Christ (Acts 11:28-30; Galatians 6:10).

vii. To establish God’s judgement upon the wicked (Genesis 18:20; 19:24-25).

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 2 June 2024

God can, and does, bring great good out of terrible tragedies (Romans 8:28).
