CEP School Catalogue SRE/RE 2024

WELCOME

‘That’s how it is with my words. They don’t return to me without doing everything I send them to do.’ Isaiah 55:11 CEV

But Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me, and don’t try to stop them! People who are like these children belong to God’s kingdom.’ Matthew 19:14 CEV

Place these two well-known verses side by side and we have all the encouragement and assurance we need as SRE/RI volunteers. Jesus wants children to come to him, to listen and to learn, to be a part of his family. God promises that when we are faithful and share his words, they will not return ‘empty’.

So be encouraged and be assured. God is doing his work through your faithfulness and love.

Thank you for serving the students and the school community where God has placed you. We pray that every week your lessons will be a time of great joy and blessing for you and your students.

Have a wonderful 2024!

God bless,

The team at CEP

What are the reasons Christians believe in, and historically have died for, the most unbelievable part of the Christian story?

What would it have been like to hang out with Jesus? Top bloke? Religious nut? Or something else entirely?

If God is good, why do bad things happen? How does the Bible explain why a good and powerful God can allow his people to suffer?

Term 2B: Why aren’t Christians perfect?

Why it is that Jesus’ followers are so often not like him? And how can they fail to obey his commands?
