    Prayer and Prophecy

    AG Sunday School Lesson May 31, 2026. Daniel 9:1-27. In this edition of the Assembly of God Sunday School Lesson for May 31, 2026, Donnie Bryson explores the profound connection between "Prayer and Prophecy," focusing on the vision and intercession of the prophet Daniel. Drawing from Daniel 9, the lesson examines how Daniel, recognizing the fulfillment of Jeremiah's 70-year prophecy regarding the desolation of Jerusalem, turned to God in a powerful act of confession and petition. Donnie highlights the humility of Daniel's prayer—where he took responsibility for the failures of his people—and the subsequent visit from the angel Gabriel to provide insight into the "70 weeks" prophecy. Key highlights from this lesson include: The Power of Scriptural Prayer: How Daniel used the existing prophecies of Jeremiah to inform and ignite his prayer life. A Model of Intercession: Understanding Daniel’s approach of fasting, sackcloth, and ashes as he pleaded for God's mercy and the restoration of Jerusalem. The 70 Weeks Deciphered: A breakdown of the 70 weeks from a dispensationalist perspective, including the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the future tribulation period. God’s Righteousness vs. Our Unfaithfulness: Exploring the contrast between God's steadfast loyalty and the people's repeated rebellion. Donnie concludes with three central truths: God is in the forgiving business: We lean on His mercy, not our own worth. God wins: If we are on His team, the ultimate victory is ours. Grace in Interpretation: While there are many ways to interpret biblical prophecy, we must remain united in the core belief that Jesus is coming back.

    Committed to Christ

    AG Sunday School Lesson for April 12, 2026. Text taken from Matthew 7:13–29.Assemblies of God (AG) Sunday School lesson for April 12, 2026, which focuses on the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:13–29).The Two Paths: Narrow vs. WideJesus presents a choice between two lifestyles. The wide gate represents an easy, popular path that leads to destruction. In contrast, the narrow gate is a difficult, defined path that leads to eternal life.The Principle: You reap what you sow. Living "according to the flesh" leads to corruption, while living "by the Spirit" leads to life (Galatians 6:7–8).Identifying False ProphetsBelievers must be vigilant about who they follow. Deceivers often appear as "sheep" but are "inwardly ravenous wolves."The Test: You will know them by their fruit. Just as a healthy tree cannot produce bad fruit, a true man or woman of God will be known by their character and adherence to sound doctrine rather than conceit or controversy (1 Timothy 6:3–5).Authentic Obedience vs. Lip ServiceReligious activity does not guarantee salvation. Jesus warns that even those who prophesy or perform miracles in His name may be rejected if they do not actually do the will of the Father.The Warning: It is possible to deceive oneself. True faith requires being a "doer of the word" and not just a hearer (James 1:22).The Foundation: Building on the RockThe lesson concludes with the parable of the two builders.The Wise Builder: Hears and obeys Jesus’ words, creating a life that survives the storms.The Foolish Builder: Hears but ignores the truth, leading to a "great fall" when trials come.The Material: Beyond the foundation (Christ), we must be careful with what we build (gold and silver vs. hay and stubble), as our works will be tested by fire (1 Corinthians 3:11–15).The Authority of ChristThe crowds were astonished because Jesus taught with inherent authority, unlike the scribes who merely cited traditions. While we respect His Word, the lesson warns against personal arrogance; we must remain humble in our interpretations, remembering that Jesus is God and we are not.
