In-Class Work for 4/28/11

Dear Bible-scholars-in-training,

I am not at school today, as you can tell. Please make sure you do whatever the substitute asks, so that I get a good report upon my return, which, Lord willing, will be tomorrow.

In class today, there are two lessons.

The first is general information on Hebrews. Please read the information. Take notes on it. Study it and prepare your mind. Do not get on Facebook or YouTube, but instead stay focused so you can learn about this very challenging book of the Bible! There will be a quiz tomorrow on this information!

After reading the first lesson, read Lesson #2. The topic is "Can a Christian lose his or her salvation?" Follow the instructions in the lesson. Complete the Quick-Write at the end of Lesson 2. Bring the Quick-Write, your four action study cards, and a working brain to class tomorrow. Again, you will have a quiz on Hebrews tomorrow!

Work hard, and you will do great!

Regards,

Mr. Settecase
