The contemporary Sunday School class is a structured gathering for the study of Scripture, aimed at discipleship and community, where the next generation and adults are taught to "fear the Lord your God and obey all the words of this law" (Deuteronomy 31:12).
The class functions as a modern application of teaching "line upon line, precept upon precept" (Isaiah 28:10), providing age-appropriate training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
Deuteronomy 31:12 Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law…
Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
