Purpose: The purpose of this session is to review the components of “The Hand.”

Objective

1. The disciple will review what has been learned of how to use your hand as a visual reminder of how to better grasp the Bible.

Scripture Memory

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12
