When Israel was taken into captivity by Babylon, some of her finest prophets were caught in that net. DANIEL was from a noble family and remained close to centers of power. EZEKIEL was out among the people. Both had messages from God that are valuable for us today. These 15 lessons on Daniel and 6 on Ezekiel will help teachers of adult and teen classes to enrich their teaching with both technical and devotional concepts.

DEACONS are the lifeblood of the local church as they serve the pastor, and serve with the pastor in shepherding the flock. The New Testament carefully defines qualifications for deacons, looking more at godly character than at credentials. The functions of deacons are described in terms of ancient (1600s) Baptist tradition of three tables: of the pastor, of the poor, and of the Lord. These 10 lessons can serve to train prospective deacons or to refresh the awareness of present deacons of their resources and responsibilities.
