“The Church United”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 31, Session 3—Jesus Is Better
We aren’t exactly sure of who wrote the Book of Hebrews and the context of why it was written. Common views of authorship include Luke, Clement, Barnabas, Apollos, Timothy, Peter, Silas, Jude, and of course Paul. Yeah, pretty long list of candidates.

"The Mission Begins": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 30, Session 4: Holding Fast to the Gospel of Jesus
Paul loved the Corinthian church. He had invested a year and a half in Corinth to preach and teach them the gospel. He labored like a father to provide for their spiritual needs so they would grow in faith and godliness. But then they turned on him. They chose to listen to some smooth-talkers who led them down muddy...
