Lately, I have been intrigued by the power of words and I've incorporated my fascination with them into my lessons. I made a list of verbs, (action words) on the board, like build, allow, praise, surrender, enrich, visit, share, etc. I then had the class add the nouns, as many as they could. They came up with and endless list of things we can do on Sunday:
- Build: relationships, a testimony
- Allow: laughter, quiet time
- Praise: each other, family members, the Lord
- Surrender: worldly interests, bad habits
- Enrich: your knowledge of Christ, peaceful atmosphere at home
- Visit: family, friends, those who are sick or lonely
- Share: talents, your time with children and spouse, testimony
I shared a couple of quotes and scriptures that supported these activities and that was all it took for a successful discussion and colorful lesson- which is my goal each time I teach.
