1 Ambassador Sunday School Curriculum

The Ambassador Sunday School Series systematically gives students a complete overview of the Scriptures as they move through the series. Beginning in second grade, the biblical lessons also lead students through Luther’s Small Catechism, giving elementary age students a foundation for confirmation.

Lutheran teaching emphasizes the Gospel. Christ and the cross are the central theme of Scripture, and the power for salvation is in the Gospel. “Our prayer is that God’s Word and the • The Old Testament looks ahead to the promised wonderful Gospel message of Jesus Christ Savior. would be effectively communicated • The Gospels show the fulfillment of Christ through all the materials that we provide.” as Savior of the world through His death and resurrection. Marian Christopherson • Acts and the Epistles proclaim Christ crucified, Parish Education Director risen, and coming again, and claim victory for the believer. • Revelation anticipates the final victory in Christ.
