    A Message from the President/CEO . . .

    Greetings,

    The staff at R.H. Boyd Publishing Corporation is humbled to present a new quarter of study in God’s Word. We aspire to create biblically sound material that is both inspirational and convicting in hopes of encouraging readers to pursue a closer walk with God. For 121 years, we have offered the highest quality of Christian literature, and we are confident that our mission to share God’s Word in new and insightful ways is reflected in this quarter’s study.

    The next three months will focus on our relationship with God and other believers. The first unit, titled All Creation Praises God, encourages a spirit of worship in response to God’s majesty. The second unit is titled The Church Is Born. This unit focuses on how to live out the Christian life. It also teaches God’s guidelines on how to interact with other believers. The final unit for this quarter is titled God Is Love. This unit provides a study on God’s love for all humanity and touches on how a believer should respond to His love. The overall lesson is that we should love one another just as God has shown love to us.

    We look forward to sharing this quarter’s study with you. We strive to obediently serve the Kingdom of God by offering doctrinally sound curriculum for the African-American community. Having fulfilled this mission for more than a century, we press on in our service to the glory of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

    In His service,

    Dr. T. B. Boyd III

    President/CEO

    QUARTERLY OVERVIEW

    This quarter includes three units that discuss the overall theme of how to live out our relationship with God and with other followers of Christ. It highlights worshiping God, having freedom in Christ, living according to the Spirit, and loving God and one another.

    Unit I—January All Creation Praises God

    The first unit, All Creation Praises God, includes five lessons from the book of Psalms. It focuses on God’s worthiness to be praised because of His power, love, beauty, and amazing creation.

    Unit II—February The Church Is Born

    Unit II, The Church Is Born, is a study of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. In these four lessons, we find that Paul encouraged the new believers to live according to the Holy Spirit. This study especially focuses on freedom in Christ, which is a gift to those who put their faith in Him. This freedom is offered to both Jews and Gentiles.

    Unit III—March God Is Love

    The final unit is titled God Is Love. This unit includes four lessons from three different books of the Bible: 1 John, Ephesians, and John. Each lesson focuses on God’s love for humanity. This study also emphasizes the appropriate response to God’s love—to love and serve God as well as to love one another.

    Director: Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

    School: If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

    Director: If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

    School: Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

    All: If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

    Recitation in Concert:

    Luke 6:27–31 (KJV)

    27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

    28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

    29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

    30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

    31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

    CLOSING WORK

    1. Singing

    2. Sentences: Galatians 2:16–20 (KJV)

    16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

    17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

    18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

    19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

    20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

    3. Dismissal with Prayer
