    ABOUT THE WRITER

    LAURYN SULLIVAN, a native of Boston, Massachusetts, studied philosophy and violin performance, with a minor in women’s studies, at Boston College. After some time spent backpacking through Europe, she returned home to pursue an M.A. in history and philosophy at the University of Virginia. From there, she returned to Europe, eventually gaining a Ph.D. in Reformation history from the University of Heidelberg in Germany. Presently, she lives in the south of France with her two dogs, Barth and Ernie. She spends her time doing volunteer work for her local church and designing curriculum for Christian education programs.

    A Message from the President/CEO . . .

    We at R.H. Boyd would like to welcome you to another quarter of uplifting and insightful study of God’s Word. This quarter we will celebrate one of the most significant Christian holidays—Easter. Through our central focus on God’s great love for us through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, we aim to continue to provide doctrinally sound worship and study materials of excellent quality. For 121 years we have striven to fulfill the vision of our founder, Dr. R.H. Boyd, to provide you with the best literature for the African-American church.

    In this quarter, we continue to focus on God’s love for humanity. In April, the five-lesson unit called God’s Caring, Saving, and Upholding Love reveals God as Protector, Preserver, Healer, Comforter, and Savior of the people, through the books of Psalms, John, and Romans. In these lessons, we focus on relying on and trusting God to care for us as a shepherd cares for his sheep, and on trusting the almighty power of His love for us.

    In May, we have a unit titled God’s Pervasive and Sustaining Love, which has four lessons from the book of Jonah highlighting God’s unconditional love for humans and the natural world, as well as God’s continuing care and concern for individual and group relationships and developments. Through these lessons we continue to witness God’s love for humanity through His individual provision of Jonah and the redemption of sinful society.

    In June, we have a unit titled Called to Be Strong, which introduces the era of the judges and begins a discussion of God’s calling for His believers. In this unit, the power of God shows through those who faithfully serve Him, and encourages us to answer God’s call, knowing that He will provide us with the strength we need to fulfill our calling.

    May this quarter of study bring you closer to our Holy Father and bring great glory and honor to His name.

    In His Service,

    Dr. T. B. Boyd III

    President/CEO

    God’s love for us is evident in Scripture from the creation of the first humans through God’s constant interactions with individuals and groups of people in their historical circumstances and developments. A survey of select Old and New Testament Scriptures reveals dynamic and encouraging aspects of God’s constant love for humankind.

    UNIT I — APRIL

    Unit I, God’s Caring, Saving, and Upholding Love, has five lessons drawn from Psalms, John, and Romans revealing God as Protector, Preserver, Healer, Comforter, and Savior of the people. The first lesson reveals total reliance on God as the Shepherd who cares for every need of the sheep. The second lesson reveals God’s love in sending His only Son for human salvation. The third lesson recounts the resurrection event in which God’s love is displayed as victory over death. The fourth lesson elaborates on the force and power of God’s love in Christ to reconcile, justify, and preserve the believer. Lesson five focuses on Jesus’ words describing Himself in the role of the Good Shepherd.

    UNIT II — MAY

    Unit II, God’s Pervasive and Sustaining Love, has four lessons from the book of Jonah that highlight God’s unconditional love for humans and the natural world, as well as God’s continuing care and concern for individual and group relationships and developments. Lesson six concentrates on God’s care for the natural world and humanity.
