Sunday School Curriculum <strong>Grade</strong> 5<br />
In <strong>the</strong> early church, confession was made in public when <strong>the</strong> believers met to practice<br />
liturgies. That is because he who sins, sins against Christ who is <strong>the</strong> Head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> church, and<br />
against His body, which is <strong>the</strong> church. But after <strong>the</strong> spread <strong>of</strong> Christianity, <strong>the</strong> church preferred<br />
that confession would be in secret before one priest.<br />
What would happen if I did not go to confession?<br />
Should I confess to God or to a priest? Why? Is <strong>the</strong>re a difference?<br />
What are <strong>the</strong> steps to be followed before going to confession?<br />
Conclusion:<br />
There is no place better than <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r‘s house where He cares for us and leads us in green<br />
pastures. There is no rest and comfort for us away from our Fa<strong>the</strong>r‘s house. We pray that we may<br />
never leave His house.<br />
Applications:<br />
Let us resist our sins through practicing <strong>the</strong> exercises given to us by our fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong><br />
confession.<br />
Let us hold prayer meetings so that <strong>the</strong> Lord may bring back those who are outside <strong>the</strong><br />
Church and help <strong>the</strong> repentant to stand firm in faith.<br />
Let us make a wall Chart about <strong>the</strong> parable <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prodigal Son through writing, drawing<br />
and pictures.<br />
