I noticed earlier this week a sudden jump in people arriving at this site after running Google or other searches for the book of Habakkuk, especially Habakkuk chapter 2. So, I poked around on the web a little and found that the schedule put out by International Sunday School Lessons for this coming Sunday, July 15, 2007, focuses on Habakkuk 2:1-14.
I am not familiar with International Sunday School Lessons and could not find a home page for it anywhere on the web. I am assuming it is similar to a lectionary, except for Sunday School lessons instead of for Sunday morning preaching. Is anyone else familiar with this organization? Is it related to the Standard Lesson Commentary series? If you have any information, please feel free to share it with us in the comments section. Thanks!

Your series on Habakkuk is great. It is with great expectation that I can’t wait for Sunday to share. I will definitely give you credit. I appreciate access to your material to use and quote from . Thank you Debbie
Debbie,
Thank you for your encouraging words. I am glad you found the series helpful, and I will be praying for your presentation on Sunday.
God bless,
Ray
The adult SS lesson moves from The Minor Prophets to Jeremiah ch.7 for this upcoming Sunday- What material do you have that can be shared to enhance the regular SS material- Entitled “Actions and Consequences”- False worship, false prophets, false confidence, and false gods!( Warren Wiersbe- outline)Debbie
Hi Debbie,
Sorry, but I do not have any material prepared on Jeremiah 7 right now. I hope your class went well yesterday. What age group do you teach?
I rotate from the children’s k-5 program into the adult classroom which is 55 and older. We live in a textile community and this class as a whole understands what it means to have it all one day and the next for it to be gone- I used the bulk of your material on Sunday and some things from Warren Wiersbe. There was great class participation and as usual we ran short on time. I recently came across a quote that said, “After hearing you teach/preach do people say, “Wow, what a sermon!” or “Wow, what a God!”. On Sunday I think the response was “What a God”. I ended by reminding the group that we were bound by covenant and grafted in to every promise in the Scriptures. Our God is the living God and so longs to be involved in our lives. Thank Him that the plans he has for us are good!
I appreciate the use of the material, as a Lay Speaker I hope to get the opportunity to fine tune the SS lesson and use the passage from Habakkuk to continue to spread the good news of the Gospel. On to Jeremiah and the lessons learned at Shiloh- sounds like the title for a great western movie Huh? Thanks Debbie
According to Standard Publishing (www.standardpub.com), the Standard Lesson Commentary is based on the International Sunday School Lesson schedule. It works its way through the Bible on a six-year schedule.
Thanks, Dani - I have been waiting almost a year for someone to answer that question for me!
