SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN

1. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

O how I love Thee well,

I am happy, it makes me glad

To rejoice at Thy birth.

2. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

ọThy friendship suits me well,

Both young and will sing Thy song,

We long for Sunday School.

3. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Christ was Thy first teacher,

The Holy Spirit, great teacher,

Does manifest in thee.

4. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

This testimony is sure,

That God, the Father Almighty,

Poured His blessings

5. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Though the sun be so bright,

Or if the clouds be black with rain,

I’ll be in Sunday School.

6. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

I rejoice to see Thee,

Will thou pass over me today?

Without my being blest?

*MEMORY VERSE:* “I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I grinded thee, though thou hast not known me .” –Isaiah 45:5.

10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

11 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

*INTRODUCTION*: Some people, called atheists, do not believe in or intentionally deny the existence of God. The Bible calls them ‘fools’ (Ps. 41:1). There are other who believe in the existence of many gods and consult with them based on peculiar needs; they are called polytheists. The Bible unequivocally teaches that there is only one God who created all things, sustains all things, and transcends all things. This is what we believe as Christians. It is worth noting that we do not worship or serve the same God with the people of other religions who also believe that there is only one ‘God.’ Who then is our God and what make him unique?

1. OUR GOD IS THE UNCREATED CREATOR.

2. OUR GOD IS UNIQUE.

*OUR GOD IS THE UNCREATED CREATOR*

As reveled to us by the Bible, we believe that they is only one God who created the Heaven and the Earth (Genesis 1:1). Our God is the creator of both visible and invisible creatures (Colossians 1:16). Our God created all living things (humans, animals and plants) and non-livig things (sun, moon,rivers, stars, mountains, etc.)- Ps. 8:3; John. 1-13. Our God is the uncreated creator (Colossians 1:17; Ps. 90:2). In our God, every creature receives life (John. 5:26; Genesis 2:7). Also, our God created and controls times and seasons (Gen. 1:14; Daniel 2:21a).

The uniqueness of our God is evident in many of his attibutes. Our God is the Supreme being and ruler of all that is (Ps.103:19; 115:3). He is the self existent one (Isaiah 45:5-6). Our God is perfect (Ps. 18:30) in holiness (Lev. 11:44; Ex. 15:11) power (Ps. 62:11), goodness (Ex. 34:6) and wisdom (Rom. 11:33), etc. Our God is everywhere -Omnipresent (Jer. 23:24), All-powerful -Omnipotent (Rev. 19:6) and, All-knowing -Omniscient (1John 3:20). Our God is a spirit (John 4:24; 2Cor. 3:17). Our God is all light (1John 1:5) and glory (Ps. 19:1). Our God is love (1John 4:8, 16) and loves us with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).

The sovereignty of our God is expressed in the fact that He does whatever pleases Him (1Chr. 29:11; Ps. 115:3). No one can query him (Isaiah 29:16; 45:9). Our God is eternal (Deut. 33:27; Rom. 1:20).

CONCLUSION: Every Christian must believe and declare boldly that our God is the only God.
