14 weeks

Adapted from the Rafiki Bible Study on 2 Corinthians, these lessons are designed to guide Sunday school teachers through teaching Scripture, allowing them to optimize their preparation time and teach effectively. Each lesson includes step-by-step instructions and scripted notes written and edited by Reformed theologians.

The Sunday school lessons on 2 Corinthians focus on several key themes, including how the sufferings and glory of Jesus Christ provide the pattern for his church as it spreads the gospel worldwide. The lessons teach that God’s new covenant people overcome every discouragement through Christ’s power at work within them. They emphasize that Christ’s accomplishments, even through the weakness of his servants, confirm the validity of their ministry. The curriculum highlights how ministers of the gospel demonstrate genuine care for the whole flock of God’s people and explains how concrete acts of repentance within Christ’s church lead to unity, comfort, and joy. Finally, the lessons show that those who abound in God’s grace will also abound in gracious giving. Each lesson includes step-by-step instructions and scripted notes written and edited by Reformed theologians.

The set contains versions for Adults (high school+), Junior High (7th-8th grade), Primary (3rd-6th grade), and PreK-2nd grade, including ideas for group activities for the children's lessons; and one copy of R.
