There are three challenges Bible teachers face today:
• Planning effective lesson
• Teaching multiple ages in one class
• Helping each student grow spiritually
Finding ways to address each challenge can keep us from being discouraged and ineffective in our teaching. Let’s look at each of these three things and see what you can do to overcome these three challenges.
As you look over all of these, you might even know that these things work, yet you find yourself falling back into the same teaching pattern. It is easy to do! As a Bible teacher, you don’t have to continue down this path. This is the perfect time of the year try something different.
When you teach a Grapevine lesson you’ll get:
• Engaging lessons help students recall the information they learned. At Grapevine we use Lesson Reviews and Timeline Reviews to test knowledge and understanding of the lesson.
• Plenty of lesson content to cover with your children. Most teachers tell us they can’t get through the lesson because students ask so many questions.
• Time, as a teacher, to pray over how to apply the lesson to your family because you are not gathering craft supplies.
This is why the Grapevine method is so effective for teaching the Bible. We enable and encourage teachers to do all these things in preparing to teach and in their classes. With the holidays coming, I recommend the Birth of Jesus as your first lesson. It is a great place to start!
• 5 Weekly lessons or 24 daily lessons
• Easy lesson prep
• Fun to teach lessons
Teaching the Bible is both a challenge and a blessing. When they challenges are removed, Bible teachers can more easily teach the lesson and watch the Lord change lives in their students. What a privilege it is to see the Lord bless our work as teachers.
May the Lord bless you are you prepare your next lesson,
